I’m currently animating?the Death of the Firstborn Egyptians (Exodus 11:1-12:36) for Seder-Masochism. This is the miracle that started Passover! Hooray! I’m being sarcastic!

I couldn’t even find it on my own hard drives – apparently I’d never even scanned it. Probably because everyone who worked on Grateful Dead Comix did it as work-for-hire. Well I don’t?play that no more, so here for your (and my friend’s) edification and enjoyment are all 8 pages of Casey Jones.?The Dead will have to censor this themselves, since?I’m not doing it Continue reading Drivin’ That Train |
