Weary March

I checked out of here so very long ago

Embarkation

Hey all...I'm about to embark on an experiment. This little comic, called HAIRPIN!, is not going to appear in a printed format. Instead, it will only be drawn. The idea here is that, even though the gag will remain the same, each book will end up looking different from the other. For me, these books are the equivalent of little paintings or songs played in concert that are never recorded (which means that they are fluid and open to experimentation...which means, ultimately the the gag itself will be open to change. It also means that they might go from drawings to actual paintings, collages, or mixed media. Who knows?!).
I'm doing this because I am curious to see how the ideas and images evolve. It also seems like a fun project. So, we'll see how successful it goes...or if I get sick of it.

Chew....

New Moves

Wow! It's been a long time! Sorry folks, I am just not a blogger. So why have a blog? So's that we can make periodic updates about things comic related and unrelated. Like, I quit my job and moved from CO-lumbus, Georgia to Berkeley, California. It was an arduous five day journey where I and my car, Mildred, braved 100+ degree weather. We went through deserts and mountains and more deserts and farmfields and stockyards that had a 30 minute stench in both directions and raging thunderstorms in New Mexico and Mississippi and the general stench of Louisiana and the awfulness of Texas. Sorry to all of you out there who like Texas, but I just do'nt. It's true, there are really good parts that I've never been to and I should'nt just knock the whole state, but I'm knocking the whole state.
So far, the weather here has been pretty plush. I came from a place that was suffering from 100 and change with the requisite insufferable humidity which just raises the heat index and the tempers. Trying to pack your car in 106 degrees just flat out sucks.

Now I'm here and will make an update every once in a while because there are still very nice folks out there in the world who check up on us to see what's happening. Thanks again!
