Boing!

I've been looking and thumbing through lots of illustration here and there. Some of which was done by my old friend and colleague Joel Loya. I've mentioned him on here before and cited him as a huge influence, but, when I was 16 or so, Joel had produced a strip by the name of 'Boing'.



The story was a post apocalyptic yarn involving gangs of youth. One group, were skinheads (the good kind, not the right wing idiots), whose mode of transportation were gigantic 'hippity hops' battling out over the evil greaser gangs of a nondescript city. The comic appeared in various zines Joel and I were involved with. I think the entire saga got about 16-20 pages before it became defunct.
