The Floating Skull and Friends

De (autor): Dennis Worden

Dennis started out in 1981, doing underground comics that appeared in Robert Crumb's "Weirdo" magazine and a few punk rock fanzines, such as Flipside. In 1982 he met a guy with an old printing press in his garage and published his first book, "SLUR", which got distributed mainly through Rough Trade, a record distributor. Throughout the 1980's and 90's he appeared in various underground, alternative, or punk publications, but most importantly, got his own title, "Stickboy", published by Fantagraphics in 1988. In all there would be eight Stickboy books through four different publishers, and one Stickboy anthology by a fifth (Worden's own Edge Of The World Press). Also there was a Stickboy Video, with puppets, but that was in very limited release (meaning you could only get it directly from Dennis). Recently Dennis has republished most of the old Stickboy books, as well as combining them into the anthology mentioned above. He also did an expanded version of his 1992 auto-bio comic, "Suburban Teens On Acid", and compiled a bunch of his early non-Stickboy comic work into the book, "The Floating Skull and Friends". In 1994 Worden did his first gallery show of paintings at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, the premier "lowbrow" art purveyor. He'd show there many more times, and in a few other galleries, and one tattoo parlor, around the country. In 2013 he wrote a non-fiction book, The Way Of The Good Hedonist. It's a book of philosophy with practical intent and function. Which is what some of the Stickboy books were up to as well, this just way more so, and not quite as funny. (By the way, it's not about hedonism as most think of it at all.) In the last few years Worden took up wood carving. But he's still painting, writing, and occasionally even drawing a comic.
