Birth Of A Bridge

 

Not too long ago I created a comic series about Joshua Abraham Norton, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. It was a very interesting topic due to Emperor Norton being an extremely interesting man. The ideals he held and the principles by which he led his life represented then and now a sense of unity and equality despite cultural diversity and the inherent differences amongst people. I was honored to be asked to contribute a ‘perspective’ to a wonderful website that is trying to honor the man and his legacy. Please take some time to visit the site and also support its cause.

The Norton Virus

Well, this is the last part of the series about Joshua Abraham Norton, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. I would encourage you to read more about this most interesting man. They should make a beer commercial about him. FT 😛

Emperor Number 2

Part 4 of the series. Someone should name a bridge after him. FT

Emper-oni Norton

Yes, the long awaited part 3 of the Emperor Norton series. Yes, another groaner. Like I mentioned, I had fun making this series. This series happened by chance when I asked randomly about whom I should make the next series. Emperor Norton was the first (and only) response I got. I think it is really cool that people are keeping this interesting man’s legend alive. FT 😀

A Brand New Suit

Part 2 of the Emperor Norton series. I apologize, but I certainly could not resist making this joke. Don’t worry, part 3 is even worse than this. I promise. FT 😀

Ave, Norton. For Those About To Read, We Salute You.

Here is the first of a 4 part series about Emperor Norton. I just learned about him recently. He was a colorful and interesting person, and, although he sounds fictitious, he was quite real, unlike the city he supposedly lived in, San Francisco. Yeah, San Francisco, who ever heard of that? Sounds phony to me! FT 😛
