Paul's 'Zine No. 6: Philemon (July 07): is a short (10p) story about John's reinterpretation of Paul's letter to Philemon (from the bible).

Zorro and Ester (Oct 01-Aug 07): is a comic he has done since 2001. It is about the title characters having bizarre, surreal adventures. It started out terrible and has progressed a bit into the realm of mediocre. Read it here

Emo (Apr 05-May 06): Is a comic John has pretty much given up on, sadly. It is one of those boring reality stories everyone wants to do when they are in college. It can be found here. It is separated into 24 page stories. Once he finish each storyline, he redrew it (with greater detail) and print it in 'zine format for you to order and own! The finished 'zines are as follows:

More Adventurous (Apr 05): Is the first chapter in Emo. It was originally a comic John did for 24 hour comic day. It is a story that he had to make up as he went, and he only had 24 hours to do it. So the plot isn't the best thing in the world, and the art is sub-par, but you know, you do what you can in the time alloted. It is the story of Ash, a girl who finds some guy lying face down in the road. Yeah. Fun times to be had by all. Here are some preview pages:
