It's Nice, but It Needs More Blood
My first Xerox comic, "Pulp Horrorshow #1", has a scene on page 2 where Cactus Joe the Clown is slicing an unfortunate Ortex security guard in half, vertically. Despite how primitive (or more primitive, depending on your opinion of my current art) that scene looked, it was bloody as hell, and that was good.
Over the top violence has always been a stock in trade in my comics. It's probably a result of watching more B-Grade horror films and violent Japanese anime than any human has a right to. In fact, it was anime that got me started on the whole inordinate amount of blood thing. I remember the first time I saw "MD Giest", this one dude gets his hands cut off, and it looks like firehoses of blood are spraying out his stumps. That was an eye opener to say the least.
My comics aren't always violent (in fact, "SDF: Strange Patterns" is pretty docile compared to "Crumpled Planet"), but when violent stuff happens, I want to push it to its most ridiculous extreme. Can't say why, it's just the way we do things here at TORC Press.

It's the way you do things cause it rocks....and it's the best way, short of LSD, to win the "Craziest Comic at the Con," year after year.
