BLINK: Why Bother
I'm back.
Sorry that I've been away for so long (2 months? Really??). I think the problem was that I was taking myself WAY too seriously for a while (which is a poor frame of mind for a cartoonist) and that… Read full post »
I've been drawing Blink comics for seven years and in that time, I've amassed quite a few sketchbooks full of rough illustrations, unfinished scripts and various incomplete ideas. One of the ideas that has stuck in my head (although I don't remember ever writing it down) is for m… Read full post »
Hey, hey, hey! Do you likes crossword puzzles?
I
am SO like Blink when it comes to crossword puzzles. Same
with Trivial Pursuit. Ugh. Speaking of trivia, I've got
TWO trivia contests for this strip:
1) This is an easy one-- the first perso… Read full post »
"Scott Pilgrim vs. Scott Pilgrim"
Some of you might've read my earlier post about the Health Care debate. As I say there, I'm definitely for more coverage and reform. So, when the so-called "ObamaCare" bill (which seems to be used by the right in a derogatory manner, but I kinda like the term) p… Read full post »

Over the past few evenings, the moon has hung low in the sky and smiled at me with a sly Cheshire Cat grin. So, I thought it would be an perfect time for me to post my six-page Blink comic, "Space to Breathe." This little story features some Dylan Thomas… Read full post »
Open Salon, God and Me
As many of you know, I drew my first editorial cartoon and posted it on this blog at Open Salon. It was an “Editor’s Pick” and got some cover real estate for the weekend and also was linked to in recent Salon.com newsletters. I’ve been posting my work here on Open… Read full post »
I usually don't create "straight" editorial cartoons (I'm always worried about offending somebody), but this "debate" is getting ridiculous and this cartoon is my gut response. I have little doubt that this cartoon won't ruffle some feathers, but so it goes.
To me, being "Pro-Lif… Read full post »
Sorry that I've been away from here for so long-- life got in my way. But I'm back on my feet and ready & willing to keep going. Hope you all have a wonderful V-Day!

I'll
probably (most definitely) have to get myself out of the house
everyday and go somewhere quiet (like a library) to ke… Read full post »BLINK: New Year's Resolve; More or Less
Yippee! Another year has come and gone and a new one begins (so long as we're adhering to the Gregorian calendar) and it's time for those damn annual "Resolutions!"
Actually, I have nothing against New Year Resolutions (or any of the other annual self-assesment/improvement traditions) a… Read full post »
How do you get from Nashville to LA?
I made this video from the art of my very first BLINK Christmas card from wwwaaaayyyyyy back in 2004. I updated the drawing & lettering last year which you can read that here.

Exchanging Gifts
Thanks to everyone who's checked out (and those who commented on) my first BLINK comic strip posted here a few weeks back. (...and a BIG thanks to the Open Salon Editor(s) for the pick/bump!)
This comic strip appears once a month in a local Columbus (Ohio) arts newspaper,&nb… Read full post »
I’m not Googling myself enough
I’m going over my vacation plans for next year (i.e. deciding which out-of-state comic book events I’ll be attending, that is) and as I’ll occasionally do (and who doesn’t?) I Googled my name (to see if any of the shows I’m attending have me listed as a guest). Of the sh… Read full post »
Let the commercialism begin
After a few nudges from friends and readers alike, I’m going to begin offering a few BLINK products for sale at Zazzle. The first Blink-related item I’ve created is this mug (or, if I understand the website correctly, any mug) decorated with the Blink logo and my homage to Bill/

With the help of my eldest daughter, Gigi, I will be giving this site a much-needed face-lift over the next few weeks (or maybe month or so… my schedule is so crammed as it is, posting an update like this takes time away from other tasks waiting to be done). Â It
