Yesterday, I'd finally decided that I had no excuse to not work on the next comic page. Smoking a turkey all day kept me meant that I couldn't do much else, since every hour I'd need to check the smoker.
I still have no timetable for when th...

Something a little different - I thought I'd show my current options for where I can draw (and how things tend to go sideways).
My first option was by the river, 1000 ft away from the house. It's a small clearing on undeveloped land, and the...

I don't think I can properly convey just how fragile my ability or desire to draw is, right now. It's been over a year since I've drawn anything beyond quick thumbnail sketches, so I'm rusty. But on top of that, I fear interruptions. However much ...

Lately I've been having some ideas that would flash back to when Daisy was younger, so we could see her, Mary, and Mimi as kids, and also may see how the animosity from Candice came about. One potential bit would have the girls go their sepa...
