Horatio and Dumbledore

Shortly after J. K. Rowling announced Albus Dumbledore was gay, I wrote and illustrated the following strips. It stars Horatio Algiers, a duck postal worker. These were originally posted several years ago on this blog, but I thought they deserved their own post in sequential order:

New blog!

I started a new blog entitled Will Work For Platitudes - a writer's blog. Check it out at marzioli.blogspot.com. It's dedicated to my goal to publish a novel and the various projects I've finished and am currently working on. In other words, there IS life after Horatio Algiers. Hope you'll read it!

Once in a while I'll draw strips that aren't necessarily canon. Here's the first one:

Lunch

Snail Mail (Alt Version)

I wrote an alternative version to this weeks strip. It's the exact same gag, but with the added dynamic that actual dialogue provides.

Additional Comment: I didn't mention it previously, but the slowness of traditional mailing has been a subject of comic strip jokes for years. Inevitably the snail is used as a replacement for the USPS's proud eagle logo. Because it was tired, I had to make my own. Perhaps I did it for the same reason every comedian has their own version of the Aristocrats. However, unlike the Aristocrats, I think I came up with something familiar yet unique.
