My main illicit passion (I'm supposed to finish an unrelated Ph.D. in a year) is the comic Goldenbird, an ongoing series set in the year 1920 somewhere in southern Europe. It's a nostalgic but satirical adventure story/character comedy with a multicultural cast of American jazz dancers, Catholic clerics, blue-eyed communists and an angry Jewish suffragette doctor. And there's a cute puppy! You have been warned.

I have also made the following comics, unfortunately they are in an unfinished state.
The Erlking
- An orc, a little foxy forest creature, evil elves and hapless humans.
Buta no Monogatari
- Swinishly noble Shogun Serugei tries to impress the bitchy Empress Himitsu-Hime.
PINK
- A satirical comic that I made for the student magazine Lundagård. The main character is a militant anarcha-feminist commie pig. Literally. Guest stars: Göran Persson, G. W. Bush, Wim Duisenberg, Pia Kjaersgaard, Paavo Lipponen, the Swedish king's leg etc. In Swedish.

As you can guess from my choice of themes, I love taking a stereotype and turning it inside out and upside down. Or just making an evil stereotype into something attractive. If you wonder why, take a look at my homepage. There might be some clues...

	[ Posted by MHcomics on Jul 15th, 2007 9:29 PM ]... Thanks for the add & keep up the good work.
	[ Posted by rainboworchid on Feb 19th, 2007 6:33 PM ]... Thank you for introducing me to Goldenbird - it's really lovely.
	[ Posted by wecrosscreek on Jan 9th, 2007 7:59 AM ]... Strolled threw "The Eriking" a little. (Just chapter one)That is pretty cool! Really nice brush work. Love the forests. Would be neat to see it done with an addition of a spot color. But it's fine the way it is. Hope to get back and look more when I get some more time. Great work. Interesting story as well.

	[ Posted by alicehunt on Dec 12th, 2006 1:13 PM ]... Thanks for adding me! I just read the first chapter of Goldenbird and was quite impressed--though I think the dog should keep her white face, because it's easier to read her expressions that way. I'm looking forward to more of it!
	[ Posted by Lulibel on Dec 12th, 2006 12:20 PM ]... Hi!!! Thanks for the comment! Happy you like my digital paintings! Yes, we (the team and I XD) are working in the Tango story! The script is great, and I like how we're developing the pages... so I'm happy with that project! -sorry for my bad english-
	[ Posted by almamater on Dec 8th, 2006 10:47 AM ]... Hey there, and thanks for the comments! I'm glad to see that you're enjoying the highbrow cultural references. Keep up the good work! I love the Josephine Baker/Jazz Age theme you have in your comic.
	[ Posted by thinking_ape_blues on Dec 7th, 2006 10:05 AM ]... Fresh and unique. I love your style and playfulness and your pen line is just totally pro. Your choice of setting and history is so engrossing. Great angle. Thank God for a strip that isn't another anime or video game nerd POS.
