My new comic book Death in Oaxaca is here! You can get it from the publisher Alternative Comics or from Amazon at this link for $4.99.
The
mundane, the sublime and the bizarre show up in their best party
attire in the new comic book series from the creator of Dog
Boy and
Bughouse.
Two expats move to remote Oaxaca, the fabled highland city in
southern Mexico. Rex, earnest yet duplicitous, flees from mid-life
crisis and fear of death. Beautiful Gertie, cynical but honest, is
just plain bored and craves adventure. They contend with Lucha
Libre wrestlers and an ancient vampire who prefers chicken, and enjoy
the best fresh corn tortillas on the planet.
And of course you need the Death in Oaxaca T-Shirt to complete the experience! OK, so it's in Spanish, so it's really a "Los Muertos de Oaxaca" T Shirt. Here is the Design:

My back catalog books El Vocho and 40 Hour Man are available from Wow Cool, the mail order arm of my new publisher. You can also order these titles from my Lulu shop. Here's the books:
El Vocho. Love at the twilight of oil. Rosa the Latina hottie inventor and Eddie
the geek artist meet in a fender bender. Tempers flare but sparks fly
and they fall in love. Working together, they create the perfect clean
energy motor while being tracked by goons working for big oil.
40 Hour Man. Is it a career, or a series of really lame jobs? Stephen Beaupre
(author) and Steve Lafler (cartoonist) pose this timeless question in
Forty Hour Man, a hilarious saga of one working stiff's three-decade
journey into the minimum wage heart of the American Dream. It's all here
- from scrubbing a steakhouse floor with a toothbrush to going bust in
the Internet boom. Every bad boss. Every crazy co-worker. All the more
shocking because it's true!
Wait a Minute! What about Bughouse and Dog Boy?
Don't worry, I did not forget about the work I am best known for! I've published two huge legacy volumes with CO2, collecting every page of both series!
Ménage à BUGHOUSE collects the funky jazz noir BUGHOUSE trilogy by Steve Lafler in one volume. Tenor saxophone maestro, Jimmy Watts, leads his talented band of bugs from the swing era into the uncharted maelstrom of Bop. And as he and his band mates claw their way to the top of the jazz world, they must fight the temptation to be consumed by addiction to a substance known as "Bug Juice".

Doggie Style: The Complete Dog Boy. Imagine an enthusiastic, ambitious young artist of the 1980s who happens
to have an enormous golden retriever head on a human body. Given to
flights of fancy and the odd meditation on the truly mundane, this Dog
Boy searches for meaning, all too often via a six pack of Rainer Ale
pounders!
Steve Lafler sat down from 1882 to 1988 and drew nearly 500 pages of Dog
Boy. Most of the time, he drew with no script, and in fact looked to
emptying his mind before putting pencil to bristol board.
The entire results are collected here in in the 488 page omnibus, DOGGIE
STYLE The Complete DOG BOY! Now you can pay witness to the genius that
flowed from Steve's streaming consciousness as he created one of the
most truly independent comic works of all time!

AND, one more thing! We've looked at my print books and T-Shirts, lets go ahead and buy a copy of my Ebook, Cat Suit!
CAT SUIT. What kind of whack job would put on a mask and a skin-tight suit and head out into the city after midnight? I mean, what is this guy really up to? What pathology, what perverse proclivity are we dealing with here? Is he fighting crime? Of course not, he’s just going clubbing—and he’s frankly perplexed when the aggressive bar flies & drunks single him out. The guy in question is Manx, a costumed cat man. Available digitally!
