High Maintenance Machine

Here's the strip that ran this month in Revue magazine!

Some of you may know that I sell the original art for most of my strips. (On my website, if there is a "buy this original strip" link above the image, then it's available.) When I posted my straight-to-ink rough of the strip "The Second Arrow" last week, one of my readers wrote me to see why the original art wasn't available for purchase. I drew it in my sketchbook--that's why! But I redrew the strip all fancy on bristol board for him. It's a lot like any other commission! (Which I am always open to, you know.) Drop me a line if you have any good ideas for Christmas presents for your friends and family. I will draw them something nice.

Did you know that I sell the original art from my strips? Head on over to High Maintenance Machine and look for the little link that says "buy this original strip for $15" next to the strip you like. (If the link isn't there, then the original has already sold.) If you'd rather have a custom drawing of your own, why not just say, "Cartoonify Me"?

Hey guys! I am so excited about the inauguration tomorrow. I am even trying to be better about my rabid partisanship. Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Federalist, "...in politics as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution."

Are you familiar with lucylou? I hope so. Go read French Milk right now. Stop reading this and go get it. I'll wait.
