Glass Half Empty Dan Markowitz
Glass Half Empty is a comic about six or so high-schoolers college-age kids who discuss extremely important topics like socks missing from the laundry, people who are too tough to use umbrellas when it's raining, elevator etiquette, and more. It is updated roughly every two weeks. Don't want to read through the entire archive? You can start from comic #105, when the characters moved to college!
 
Fickle Theatre Dan Markowitz
Fickle Theatre is basically a place for more random jokes which don't fit into the world of Glass Half Empty. It features more surreal, less dialog-driven gags, many of them about robberies for some reason.
 
Pancake Chronicles Dan Markowitz
The Pancake Chronicles are long, comic-book-style spoofs of superhero stories. Two books have been completed so far, and the third is currently in progress.
 
Fairy Tale Dan Markowitz
In the Winter of 2007, I was commissioned to illustrate a children's book! The deal unfortunately fell through, but I present the illustrations here... hopefully you can follow along the story anyway!
 
Higher Dan Markowitz
Designed for a 2008 Digital Art class, "Higher!" is a children's story about two brothers competing to reach greater and greater heights. You can see some behind the scenes work right here.
 
From Set-Up To Punchline Dan Markowitz
For a Critical Writing class I took in the fall of 2008, I wrote and illustrated "From Set-Up To Punchline," a comparison of the creation of a comic strip with the writing of a critical essay. The concept is inspired by Scott McCloud's work. Also, due to finals exams and projects, this was produced very quickly, so don't expect any spectacular art!
