Gentoons: 2022

Every year we publish an anthology of short stories by readers at the newssite fark.com. I help edit it, and I do the artwork as well. Here is some of my favorite work from over the last 5 years.

Steamboat/Riverboat Casino theme for 2019

an element from every story in the anthology is shown being dragged into the wormhole - holy smokes, we had a story about a virus the very year before Covid 19 broke out! should we feel guilty?

Mystery - woodcut style illustration of Magyck the goat dressed as a victorian detective, smoking a pipe, standing beneath a tall streetlamp, walking stick in his other hand.

each year the antho is divided into 4 genres. Majyck the goat, a character in one of our first stories (by Brian Bander) has become our unofficial mascot. This year we opted for woodcut-style illustrations. here he is as a victorian detective, for our Mystery genre.

Magyck the goat crossed with a chicken eating a banana - obviously for the comedy section!


The squirrel is our other mascot. better not to ask. But he has a penchant for sitting on slatted chairs.

yup. you're gonna need help pretty soon, squirrel. this is from 2021, the year we all stayed home (if we were very lucky) and read books while death stalked the streets.
