Jake & Leon archives

Nobody asked for it, but here it is anyway. One year+ of comic strips featuring commentary and the occasional just being silly. I will add captions and descriptions where they’re missing but you can browse all of Jake & Leon’s adventures, plus get some behind-the-scenes of the comics.

No, that’s not why I read it. Besides, she’s barely in this issue.

Sometimes I’m not going to have a good joke from the pull. This time, I just really wanted to use this one instead.

Seriously, there are stories when he’s not even on the right planet!

Someday I have to learn to draw the Autobot symbol.

Luckily, he only lives a block or so away.

Jake needs some new hobbies.

Mostly, I just wanted to draw Leon as Radioactive Man

Yeah, we’re off to a good start.

I’m looking at YOU, VH-1!

Why yes, I do hate myself. Why do you ask?

I just noticed that I misspelled “Critic”. Pretend it’s an homage’s to Doug’s past misspells. :)

Hey, I hit DC a couple weeks ago.

And here’s where I get the hate mail.

This cameo not approved. The comic he’s from is.

For the record I like Kool-Aid.

Sorry, I just don’t see it.

Lucky Leon doesn’t have a baseball bat

You’d think Hollywood would love that kind of dysfunctional morality storytelling. They do it often enough.

I knew I forgot something this week.

How lazy can I get?

On the other hand…FREE COMICS!

The obligitory joke for a no-4th Wall comic.

I dub thee Max, lord of bad ideas!

based on a true Bum sketch

So does that mean the girls have pockets in their dresses?

“Licensing issues”. It’s THEIR content!

Not to mention having a bad gamer playing you…like me.

Can you guess who is playing whom?

Remember, this is the comic that once featured a Black Lantern Johnny DC. Even we have limits.

Week one of the business card strips.

For them it was energy draining. For me it was time draining.

And of course Terry McGuiness is Robin for the homage. He also has the wrong hairstyle.

I can find my computer. I just can’t get to it.

Trust me, you don’t want me drawing them straight on.

Not so much a “change” as it is dialing it back a bit.

“Max” pretty much explains everything.

Maybe they can make fun of Rocky instead.

In other words, don’t rebel. Don’t conform. Just be yourself.

So how many of Marvel’s “events” have used the word “War” anyway?

Like Marvel doesn’t have enough of their own bad ideas.

Mostly, I just wanted to draw Superman.

Because you know he’d do it.

We now return you to our regular format.

Then again, an alien walking down the streets on Earth would usually draw attention, wouldn’t it?

Interestingly, the play was about firemen. :)

There are times I worry about giving someone ideas and times I’m afraid someone already has seriously. This is both.

Considering what Superman is exposed to in an average day…

Proof that Jake and Leon are single.

Could I draw a worse Alfred?

Maybe he’s still bummed about the last Christmas Spotlight?

Sometimes you need a defense against disappointment.

My biggest concern is that he’s still in the kids section.

My apologies to Johnny Yong Bosch.

And he has a message for a certain whiny girl, too.

At least we know who would do the comic adaptation.

I’m sure it’s happened to someone out there.

I was worried about how bad my Smurfette was. Then I saw the live-action movie trailer.

{insert “I’ll Never Be Rich” song here}

I don’t even eat the stuff.

The hard part was coloring the eyes. It really wasn’t that hard.

He can also turn into Sentai heroes that predate Power Rangers.

Also, he can’t afford the postage.

That may be the only way to get through to them.

What, you think only guys pull that stunt?

Think how the store owners feel.

Probably be big in Japan

Now you know what she’s doing on Earth. :)

I drew the Earth, but you can’t see it behind the Red Ranger’s word balloon. :(

Or when he’s reading certain comics. (no, I didn’t forget)

For the record, I just wasn’t impressed.

It’s my comic and I say they still have a local arcade. I wish I did.

Apparently they can.

Don’t get me started on the boots.

Just how did a cat wearing a pop tart who propels himself with a rainbow get so popular, or did I just answer my own question?

Nobody complained when Batman was on his feet in less than a week…

If you’ve seen Raphael in any continuity, you know Casey’s right.

Some things just aren’t funny.

Here’s a hint: it’s not the cat.

I’m sure there are airholes in the back. Maybe.

Remembering 9/11

Oh, you wacky super villains, you.

As much as you don’t want to, you remember the Spider-Armor.

I think we need to fix the electric in the J&L studio.

So start doing something satire-worthy, entertainment industry.

How would YOU represent the clay origin?

I apologize for this comic.

I’ve always told people the Teletubbies were evil!

On top of 50 billion other things the Rangers do with their spare time.

Lucky for people on France there are no turkeys.

And so it begins…

Is figgy pudding even that good it requires you to demand it?

This has nothing to do with my cousin.

What, you’ve never wondered?

I’m not sure that I got the Mayan skin color right.

Just ignore the comic title on the strip. I forgot to change it when I changed the punchline.

At least we have cool new logos. Oh, wait…

Angel Grove must have some weird traffic reports.

Max just can’t get a break.

Maybe if they had better commercials?

Should we be worried that Leon is asking that?

You think that’s bad, wait until the Commando remake.

What do you say, folks? Want to see the players tackle some more cliches?

Next time just show her ET.

Not that ninjas from space isn’t cool, but it’s not their origin.

Sadly this is the last time I can make fun of Angel Grove.

I wonder what they’re changing in Hal’s story…oh, wait, Johns already did that.

I’m just wondering how he does that.

Considering how often I’ve done my back bad just with the ton o comics I own…

No, it will be cherry flavored. I’m really that clumsy.
