Mighty Motor Sapiens

The Mighty Motor Sapiens was a daily online comic strip that was commissioned by NASCAR to run on their social media site Rowdy.com.

It was created by Mark Wheatley and Robert Tinell and I was hired to ink the strip over Daniel Krall, then Matt Plog, until I eventually took over the full art. It ran for 28 weeks from mid 2007 until early 2008.

The strip was nominated for a Harvey Award in 2008. Rowdy.com was not a success and it was folded taking the only online run of the strip with it.

We were, like the Chelation Kid, supposed to be revived on another publishers daily comic strip page, but the 2008 crash took them down along with our hopes of being renewed!

It was a lot of fun while it lasted!
