Solo & Side Projects

It's a Miserabel Life: This is the main site for the new project Joe Dell is working on with his cousin Robert Morosca. It is a comic strip based on the main chaaracter named 'Pops". Pops is a manic depressent with a love for cigarettes and who always looks at the bad side of things and has a side kick named Johnny who he mentors in his negative ways. Pops has a dead beat son who is 40 years old and thinks he is still going to be a rocck star and refuses to get a job. He has a hypocondriac ddaughter who thinkss she is fat while she weighs 90 pounds and is 5 foot 9. She is married to a geek husband who is fat and loves to eat and play video games. His sister has been waiting for him to die so she could get the whole family inherritance and used her puppet husband to do the dirty work, trying to hurry up the dying process. There are a slew of other odd ball characters that will make their way in and out of Pops' life. Watch him as he waits for 2012, goes to a ball game, as his sister thinks of new ways to kill him off. You will die laughing at "it's a miserable life"!
