The world changed overnight, and I forgot to make a big deal about our movie being released. I’m sure like me, all of you have been stunned by the spread of the COVID–19. I hope you are home. I hope you are safe. And I hope you are healthy. I am all three (home, safe,...
I recently completed a strip for Seven Days again and realized that it's been over a year since I last posted here. A lot has happened since then. TLDR: I was depressed. Bad Medicine In August 2018, I heard back from my cardiologist. I had finished my 6 month checkup...
This week is the 30th anniversary of one of my favorite films, Bull Durham. It's considered to be one of the best sports movies of all time. I think it's more than that. Granted, it's a fantastic sports movie, and even if you aren't someone that likes sports, there is...
I can finally share something very near and dear to my heart. Jason Lutes, our sturdy CCS captain and one of the best people I’ve ever met, finished his masterpiece Berlin. It’s been a two decade journey for him and it finally culminated this year....

Twenty-six years ago, I dislocated my right knee while we were on a family vacation in Colorado. After the initial dislocation, it seemed to be better. I wasn't running a marathon or anything, but it was okay to walk on. Several days later, we stopped for an...
It's been awhile. How's your summer going? I've been heads down working, trying a new schedule. I started reading Jessica Abel's new book Growing Gills. I've subscribe to her email list a long time ago and have been absorbing her advice. In one of her recent emails, I...
Sorry for the radio silence. I've been hard at work getting the art for The Walk further along than it has been. But I still feel like a failure on many levels. I can't blame myself for losing a couple years on it due to my health. But I have a hard time working on it...
It's time. Time to start putting all of that great content you've created online. Makes sense, right? It's good. It's well-written. And it could help keep your website fresh. It could even help with SEO. There's just one mental hurdle you can't get over—it doesn't...
I've been slowly finding time The Walk, but it's a struggle. I started working on this comic in the summer of 2013, after I graduated from the Center for Cartoon Studies. That's four years ago now. I've been trying to determine what my roadblocks to success have been....
