A very, very quick comic after a very, very late night where I had the chance to sing, dance, and act.

A very rough evening for me. I’m quite proud of the drawing tonight, even if I now find the sentiment a little over the top.
But the whole point of this daily project is to capture things as they are, not as I would like them to be.

Day one at my new job. Trust me, I missed the rental car that next day during the three and a half hours I spent on buses.

Today was a day I will never forget. I started dreaming of being the guy who drew the comics I read when I was four or five years old. That makes more than thirty years of working my way up to this.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Every word of encouragement, every honest critique, every piece of recommended reading, and every kind moment has led me to finally putting one of these projects of mine out into the world.

This was a place that felt spiritual to me on a replenishing day that I desperately needed.

Too drunk, mad, and sad to do a decent comic. But capturing the moment was still important to me.

A rare landscape from me. I need more practice at these, clearly.

License pictures and junk science.

We hear of walls as obstructions, but often the old adage that good fences make good neighbors rings true.
The Jon Hamm Dream
This was a bizarre dream I had shortly before I moved to Chicago last year. I was living in Ohio, feeling stuck, sad over a breakup, and worried that I was taking on too much by moving to a new city where I only knew a handful of people with no job lined up and only a few thousand dollars in the bank.
This was probably the first comic work I had done in five years and I essentially saw it as my chance to experiment with the form again. I won’t claim all of the experiments here were successful, but this is what rekindled my love of making comics.
I was quite tempted to go back and redo these pages (including doing a hand-drawn version of Jon Hamm’s head for the repeated image), but decided to leave it exactly as it was the day I scanned it about a year ago.
