Portraits of Courage by George W. Bush Review
I was skeptical at first when I heard of former President George W. Bush’s newfound love of the arts. Immediately, my inner-cynic took over and I derided his attempt at fine art through the whimsical paintings of his pets and his own nude body. When his new book, Portraits of Courage, was announced, I was…

7th Anniversary
I have some good news… Not only did we all make out of 2016 alive, but we made it to see the 7th birthday of Terminal Lance! January 5th marks the official birthday of Terminal Lance, when I posted the first comic strip. Who would have ever guessed, 7 years ago, that a fun comic about…

The Lance Corporal Underground
My buddy at headquarters told me they’re gonna make “Senior Lance Corporal” an actual rank. It’ll be like Specialist in the Army, but not retarded. I heard Trump wants to limit the military to only gay and lesbians to cut down on the cost of dependents. I heard Alvarez got busted down so many times…

A Bard’s Tale
Picture this: you’re on day four of a two week long field op out in the harsh deserts of Texas/New Mexico. You’re an inch away from throwing your e-tool at the other boot sitting next to you in the fighting hole. Time is slowing down to a crawl and the ants that you’ve befriended with…

The White Donkey: Terminal Lance
For as much as I yammer on and promote my graphic novel, it seems like a large portion of my audience actually doesn’t even know what it is. That or they just don’t care about donkeys, which I can respect, but I wanted to take a minute here just to talk about what The White…

Rogue One: A Scene I’d Like to See
As a career Marine, I’ve been accused of ruining movies with my critical remarks concerning poor dispersion, questionable weapons handling, and awful close quarters hand to hand combat slap fighting. Though I enjoy Star Wars as much as the next nerd, I can’t help but notice it may be the worst at portraying a space…

Friday Night
It’s 2059 on a Friday night at the barracks. Pizza delivery cars riddle the parking lot and beer cans can be seen crunched up, or tipped over in the smoke pit. Marines huddle around each other trying to bum cigarettes and butt fucking cherries since only one person has a lighter. The asshole always playing…

I Used to Grunt: Life in the Armory
It is a quiet Saturday morning in the armory cage with an analog Skillcraft clock on the wall, the face of it saying 5 AM. I can hear it ticking away as I brew up a pot of coffee because I’m planning on driving the fuck out of Jacksonville as soon as this platoon turns…

The Lance Corporal Underground
Don’t tell anyone this, but I heard Stephens and Nash told everyone they were getting married for the BAH and to move out of the barracks… But they’re actually gay and in love. I got a buddy in Quantico that told me the Commandant is actually a computer animated hologram like Tupac. I heard…

Terminal Lance 3.0
After many months of concept and development, I’m ridiculously excited to finally unveil the new Terminal Lance! You’ll notice that this site not only features a brand new design, but also a brand new section dedicated to featured Opinion pieces. This is a small, but important shift in the way Terminal Lance will be…
