Chopping Block is a darkly humorous webcomic by Lee Adam Herold, hosted on Keenspot. It chronicles the exploits of Butch R. Mann, a hockey mask-wearing serial killer who is equal parts Jason Voorhees, Hannibal Lecter, Norman Bates, and Ziggy. The strip takes a one-panel format with a text caption underneath the picture.
Chopping Block uses a distinct, gray-tone art style that is both inked and sponged before being scanned into the computer.[1]
