BALLPOINT ADVENTURES CLASSIC from 12/28/98: BIlly loves to "read."

Always pleased when the style in which something is drawn helps comment on something in society.

Technology is great, until it isn't.

BALLPOINT ADVENTURES CLASSIC from November 30, 1998: Billy Meets a Klingon Cosplayer

Click to see the full-size violence--I MEAN--image.

Even if you're a huge geek, you have to admit that fandom can get to be a bit much sometimes.

It just occurred to me, 17 years later, that Billy should have killed the cosplayer with his own bat'leth.

I'm embarrassed that after all these years I still remember how to spell "bat'leth".

BALLPOINT ADVENTURES CLASSIC from November 16, 1998: Billy Believes in Sledge Hammer Foreign Policy

Click to make the missile--I MEAN--the image larger.

Of course, American foreign policy is used to be more like a poison in someone's drink--but that was pre-911 thinking.  Nowadays, Billy, and people who think like him, assume they are in the right at all times.  Reason, balance, and understanding are too much to expect from them.  So, here, have a missile. >_<

This is the very first BALLPOINT ADVENTURES strip EVER.  Pretty cool, huh?  Remember the 1990s?  We really didn't have a care in the world!  In order to be critical of one's culture, we needed to look back in time to a previous stupid thing humanity did.  Lucky for Billy's anger level, humanity would doing a LOT of pretty stupid things in the decade to follow.  Many ballpoint axes would be through and much blue inky blood would be spilled!
