Most of this week, it's been firmly in the 40s, which, for Western Pennsylvania, is practically light jacket weather. This morning, it dropped into the low teens but FELT more like the low 00s. And... I was NOT ready. lol

Full disclosure: I grew up oblivious to NANCY. I had no idea how weird, meta, and subversive a comic it could be. After seeing the Billy Ireland exhibit, I HAD to get the catalog. Beautiful book, plus I learned Jerry Scott (ZITS!, Baby Blues) drew NANCY for 10ish years!?! I love these and need more!

Poe is a much SLEEPIER dog these days, as he's getting up there in puppy years. I'll be honest, I kinda MISS being woken up like this. lol
That said, enjoy this COLOR strip from Vol. TWO of the Color Collection. ;) Hint Hint: findingdeekickstarter.com

When TODAY'S strip popped up in my memory from a few years ago, I realized that it just so happens to be one of the strips that will be appearing in the upcoming THIRD Color Collection, so I kinda HAD to share this with a sneak peek of Katy Rewston's colors!!! findingdeekickstarter.com

Typos are, have been, and will seemingly ALWAYS be my Acheles heal.
I mean, Achilles heel. Dagnabbit! ;)
Now that the holiday storyline is over, the strip will be returning to a once-a-week schedule… at least while I suss out how much extra work doing these in color will take. lol.

Been on a bit of a Popeye kick tonight, which inspired me to do this. Popeye is near the top of the list of the classic comic strips I would love to get a shot at.

I've just recently discovered the POPEYE comics of Bobby London, and they're REALLY fun!
Wish I could find the books in print for a decent price.

2 years ago, it was Mickey, and the internet went NUTS! Last year, the earliest versions of Popeye and Tintin fell into the public domain, and it was decidedly less craziness. This year, it's Betty Boop and... I don't have a gag idea for that one yet. So here's last year's. lol

For round two, I want to pit some of my weirder, more surreal strips against each other. Where I play with the medium and have fun with the format of the comic itself. These are generally weird ones, but I love doing strips like these. What say you all? Which one is the winner in here?

HELP ME, readers! Help me pick WHICH of these strips to submit for this year's REUBEN awards! The theme for THESE strips is spot color: Strips where I use a touch of color to help push the joke.

When I was a kid, I PRIDED myself on being able to figure out how to transform a TRANSFORMER toy without the instructions... because that was POSSIBLE.
The modern figures require watching at least 2 YouTube videos, the instructions, a master's in Engineering, and access to the BORG collective.

It is TIME, once again. I'll be compiling my list of strips to submit for this year with fingers TIGHTLY crossed. Is it bad that I haven't even picked the strips yet, and I'm already super-anxious about it? Lol

The strip was drawn in response to a pole I put up on my Pat Treon. I DID end up giving Dandy a LOT more cameos in the strip as a result. Lol

The occasional gag like this is about as much as I really ever want to play with Public Domain characters. So far, I DON'T really have any strong ideas for what to do with dog eared Betty Boop.

I may have drawn this LAST year, but it still feels WILDLY relevant today. Seriously, just imagine each number shown moves up one, and this is still applicable. Don't know if that's a GOOD thing or not in most cases. Lol

Happy New Year! Here's hoping this year is a smidge less anxiety-inducing than the last, but I'm not expecting a lot, honestly. lol
