Burt and Martha currently live in Disbroken.

Who are Burt and Martha?

Burt and Martha are zen-pop funny-aminal parodies of me and me, respectively. Through them, I trick you and many others into reading my fevered, solitary internal dialogues, again and again, while celebrating my own sad narcicissm.

Well, that's what I think, anyway. I'm always open to others' interpretations.

What's here?

Art by me

My current comic featuring these characters is called Disbroken. I rather like this title I have upthunk, as it's strange sort of negation of a negative word that leads to nullification rather than affirmation, and thus acts as a sort of one-word summary of the relationship the two main characters share.

The strip continues the quote-unquote "story" started in Schizofurnia, of which I have an old, wonky archive. I drew these in the spring of 1996 for The Maine Campus, during my final semester at the University of Maine. Some comics are missing from this series; I'll note here when I get around to fixing it.

I have a couple post-Schizo, pre-Disbro comics of them, too. La, la.

Other folks' interpretations

• Tom Ziolkowski did this one randomly, using my older character designs. I wrote Burt's word balloon for him after he finished coloring it, but it really doesn't make much sense, so don't worry too much about it. Those are some of his and others' characters lounging around in the background.
• Mark Stanley (creator of the amazing thrice-weekly webcomic Freefall) did this one in response to goings-on in an APAzine we were both in.
• Melissa Drake borrowed Burt and Martha for her farewell to Stanley Kubrick.
