Mike Dawson Comics

Now every issue of the cult-comedy series Gabagool! is posted and available online.

Created in collaboration with the humourist Chris Radtke, Gabagool! concerned the various misadventures of 30-something super-nerd, Christopher Vigliotti, and his slacker roommates Ritch Sutton and Vinnie DelPino. They lived in Bronx, New York, in an apartment owned by Christopher’s foul-mouthed cousin, Lenny Vigliotti. The first three issues centered around the boys attempts to kick-start careers as Bounty Hunters For Hire. Issues 4-6 focused on a vacation they took to a notorious swingers resort, Hedonism II, in Jamaica (in a story which is decidedly “NSFW!”).

Enjoy!

I missed a week or two worth of updates in there, but I’ve just finished posting all of the “Rock Soldiers” short story over at The Complete Gabagool! Check it out.

Between 2002 and 2004 I self-published a humor comic called GABAGOOL! with a co-writer, humorist Chris Radtke. We put out six issues of the series, as well as a few short things that appeared in anthologies. Gabagool! concerned the adventures of Christopher Vigliotti and his friends, a group of twenty-somethings living in Bronx USA. There’s actually a very detailed Wikipedia page describing the main characters and the series.

Because this was a self-published effort, it has for the most part been out-of-print. The only way people can usually get hold of the comics is directly from me at small-press conventions, of which I am attending less and less these days. So, I’ve decided it’s time that all of these comics should be made available online.

I’ve posted the first issue of the series so far, and will be adding new pages every Monday and Wednesday. I imagine everything will be up in a month or two, including all the really filthy stuff where Christopher and his friends take a vacation to the notorious swingers resort “Hedonism” in issues 4, 5, and 6.
