And lastly, the two friends finally paused and took a moment to look around (literally). Joey was in awe of the night sky in the remote outpost of Cold Springs... as well as Herb's mad skillz when it came to puns.

The next Sunday caught up with Joey and his newfound friend, Herb, unpacking. Joey wondered if Herb's mysterious appearance meant he had supernatural powers and Herb discovered where Joey's priorities were.

Some self-deprecating comedy here, as Joey and Herb wander off as silhouettes. The next week, the comic joined Joey in his car on the way to Cold Springs...

I had these first six comics drawn for years, before finally completing these versions of them.
A re-wrote a few of these, but I loved this one from the start.
"Bring on the nukes!" is a classic.

Before the strip really got started, I wanted a bit of a lead in that introduced the characters and the type of humour.
Week one was all about shattering the fourth wall, basically.

After I was able to overcome the feeling of existential dread brought on by the pandemic, I was able to focus and push my 20-year passion project over the finish line.

Herb fills Joey in on who Le Corbusier (Le Cor-boos-ee-yay) is and how it relates to the piece of furniture he’s sitting in.
Joey has other concerns, dampening his enthusiasm for this icon of modern architecture and design.
