Welcome to the Homepage of
"T.R.&Co.: the Fannish Cartoon Adventure"©
"Happy Halloween !!"
"Greetings, Fellow Sci-Fi/Comic/Trek Fans (& all the rest!!" :)
***What's New ***
(updated: October 2011)
Welcome to the newly updated T.R.&Co. webpage!! It has been a long time since this page was revised/added to/etc. with other projects and "real life" happenings keeping me and my energies going in different directions. But now I am back, and will be updating both the content and the look on a more regular basis. So, let's take the "nickel tour" and see "what's new!"
**T.R.&Co. is now a Weekly "WebComic"!!**
Over the past several months, as I was working my way toward a "reboot" of this web site, I've come across alot of great original web comics that are updated weekly (sometimes daily.) I also was looking up some old friends (fellow comic creators Phil Foglio and Elfquest's Richard and Wendy Pini) to see what they were up to these days. And found that both Phil and the Pinis, after years of being strictly in print, had gone beyond just having web sites, but had scanned and posted every book they'd done up until now on the web to be read by fans "For FREE!". (**Find their links below)
So, with the great movement--by both fans and cartoonists alike--toward "web comics", I decided to scan all three book collections of T.R.&Co. and start posting the cartoons weekly (maybe even twice a week) for fans to read and enjoy.
This week, being Halloween, I'm posting all horror/scary 'toons and artwork. The first installments of T.R.&Co. Book #1 will start running next week, so come back for regular visits to read the gang's latest "Fannish Cartoon Adventures"!!

**Please Excuse Our Mess!!**
All sections of this web site are being revamped and redesigned. So, if you click on a a link balloon on the left side of the main page, you may find either an incomplete, or totally empty section. Please check back as this means there will be new content/art/etc. coming soon to that area of the web site. :)
***Other places to find my work***
Over the past five years some of my "Sci-fi/fantasy" spot illos have appeared in the "electronic pages" of Planetary Stories, a on-line fanzine done in the style of a 1930's/40's pulp magazine. Long-time fan (silver/golden age fandom) and sci-fi writer/publisher Shelby Vick (Shelvy), has been putting it together--along with writer Jerry Page--for several years now. In that time they have brought together a great group of fan/semi-pro/pro writers and artists from across the country (world?)
In addition to spot illos for stories, I also created a "masthead" logo for the P.S. "We Salute" section of the site. This section salutes fans, creators, and others that should be acknowledged for their long-time accomplishments in Fandom. There are illos in the current issue #22 and #23, as well as some "western-styled" artwork in Wonderlust. Check out the latest issue(s) at: www.planetarystories.com
About T.R.&Co.©
T.R.&Co.© is like a "Peanuts or Bloom County set in the world of sci-fi and comics". It has been around "fandom" for many years, having been originally created in 1981 as a one-shot "filler cartoon" for a convention program book. Since then the strip and its characters have evolved into who and what you see today.
Over the years the strip itself, or its characters have appeared in genre' magazines such as Scary Monsters, THWAK, G-Fan (a Godzilla mag), Jokester, and multiple editions of the Fandom Directory. Other appearances have included numerous convention program books, club newsletters, and fanzines.
Collections of the strips, or stories have also been published in three book collections of their own (available for sale on the Books, T-shirts & More page.)
Not just about one specific genre' or interest group in "fandom"- T.R.&Co.© has characters and stories that cross the lines between the many diverse groups that make it up.
