RIP

JD Salinger died today at age 91. "Nine Stories" remains one of my favorite short story collections of all time.

Howard Zinn died yesterday at age 87. Reading "A People's History of the United States" totally changed my life.

Newts

Here's a comic starring Freddy that's in the newest issue of 7days, a Vermont weekly newspaper.

New Goal: New issue of Freddy will be out and ready for TCAF 2010!!! I'll be tabling with Chuck Forsman and Sean Ford! James Sturm will be there with his new book, Market Day!! I looooved TCAF last year and I'm excited for this year too. Clearly.

Dogs!

As many of you know, I freaking love dogs. I just think they are amazing. Which is why I'd like to draw a portrait of your dog for you. It could be your dog, or your friend's dog, or a dog movie star that you really love, like Beethoven.

Please contact me for pricing info. Thanks!

This is Sammy, the dog I had growing up. He always had a guilty look on his face from those eyebrows, which made you love him all the more.

This is Ziggy, dog of a friend, one of the smartest dogs I ever met.

Dane!

I just want to take a moment to appreciate cartoonist Dane Martin. If you have not seen his work, look at it. He has a way with words that I absolutely love, and he's been posting lots and lots of stuff on his blog.
