Michael West was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, but grew up in a small town in Arkansas where he learned the subtle art of trailer park living (his trailer actually was Lot 14, without the bar). As a lad West spent most of his time listening to O.G. rap: Doug E. Fresh, Public Enemy, BDP. "One day, like a punch in the face, I heard punk rock, wow!!! That was it for me, forever changed." It wasn't long before he started reading conspiracy theory books.
These days West plays drums in The Goodnight and listens to The Mountain Goats, Ted Leo, old-ass Bob Mould, Lungfish, Saturday Looks Good to Me, Tracker, The Weakerthans, and—still—The Dead Presidents soundtrack. You can see more of his work, including the daily strip Lot 14, at Top Soil Comics.

Looks great!! I can't wait to learn more about Lot 15!!
Fantastic. Spicy humor on the website. Goes to prove the old adage; you can take the artist out of the trailer but you can't take the trailer out of the artist.
ah, just the way i like my funny pages... stylized artwork and no punchlines.
It looks like the bearded guy wants to eat the other guy. I can't wait to see how this goes.
