I read an interview of Charles Schulz where he talked about how a comic artist worked on creating elements of the strip that readers would remember and like (Linus’ blanket for example). Today, I think I have introduced one of those[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Better late than never, I guess. Felt like crap the past 24 hours and that set me back a bit. What really caused the delay was I started this strip over the weekend and then yesterday decided to completely re-write[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A true cultural exchange as only the gang from 1977 (or more importantly, Bud) could do. Beats when Pres. Geo. Bush the 1st barfed on the Chinese Prime Minister (or whomever it was). On Monday, a trip down nostalgia way[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The backgrounds on this one wore me out. I wish I had more time to work on these! This one is for all those folks who suddenly realized after working on something for hours, that all you had to do[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I over-write a lot of the comics. They start off as they long-winded scripts then I normally knock them down as I lay them out in Manga Studio. This time, I noticed that I had essentially two different jokes in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A nod of the baseball cap to the Latvian Olympic Mens Volleyball team who beat the Amercian team 2-0 in an upset in the first round of the Olympic Beach Volleyball games. Not sure of their final placement, but the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Jeff is just practical, that’s all. Oh, and he’s smoking a real cigarette, not one of them fancy ones! 🙂 Speaking of smelling… I have no sense of smell. I have never had one as a result of a birth[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A little Cheech & Chong for your morning! Class… The comic title is done by tons of groups, but I’ve always liked the Beatles version from like 1965 or thereabouts, especially the rockin’ MONO mix which is very hard to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
For those of you (me) who weren’t in the know… in 1977 Russia controled Latvia and the locals weren’t too thrilled with the Russians hanging around. Thus, singing “Back In The U.S.S.R.” might have ticked a few of them off. […]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Billy Beer saves the day. How did Jeff blow all his cash? He over-tips. I once gave a Canadian waitress a HUGE tip as I calculated the exchange rate backwards… DOH! No wonder she kept thanking me… We bid our[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
