Singing Time Mistake

Sunday marks eight years of this blog! When I started it, I worried if I would be able to come up with enough material for a couple of weeks. (Truth be told, I still worry if I'll be able to come up with enough material for a couple of more weeks.) One of my greatest pleasures with this website is getting to know you, my readers.

I sincerely appreciate every email message and comment left on a post. I read them all. I cherish them all. Your kind words inspire me to keep going. I feel like we're starting to develop a real community here. Thanks!

Now that the blog has reached the age of accountability, I guess that means that the jokes are going to have to grow up too. No more sophomoric humor. No more immature little gags. This website has grown up and so have I!

(Okay, maybe one more immature gag.)

Potty Humor

I'd like to think that today's strip is as lowbrow as I get.

Halloween Comic Book: 3 of 5

I was commissioned to do this comic book in the late summer of 1995--mere months after coming home from my mission (thanks to my brother Eric who knew the owner of the establishment).

Sometime during my two-year mission, the TV show Friends debuted and became a huge success. So the joke I did the bottom of the page was made by someone who had never seen an episode of that particular show. I also never saw a picture of Jennifer Aniston which made drawing her character kind of difficult in those days pre-Google Image. (Basically I'd take direction from my family which mostly consisted of telling me to make her hair bigger.) Despite those challenges, the Fiends joke is my favorite in the story. (Some of you might think it's the only joke.)
