#51 - Loose Ends

Sometimes I think that it would be really great if I had someone who was far more skilled than I doing the art on these comics, so I can concentrate mainly on the writing. Like maybe a team of Taiwanese animators or something. That's just a pipe dream, though.

I kind of like the new font for the title. One of these days I'll actually decide what the title is going to permanently be and go with it, but in the meantime...

#50 - Angry Birds

Being married to Mrs. Ouderkirk has a way of inspiring me in unexpected and pretty cool ways, in my opinion.

#49 - A Dead End

"Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but it's not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit."

#48 - It's Like A Thyroid Problem Or Something

Hello! It's been something of awhile, hasn't it? Well, I had some health issues lately that prevented me from really hunkering down and getting comics out, but I'm okay now. Did you know that tonsillitis is a much bigger deal when you're an adult? I didn't either! But I'm right as rain now, so I'm getting back into the swing of things. Enjoy!

#47 - The Chase

Will our hero and heroine ever make it to Perkins?

#45 - So...Are You Up On All Your Shots?

I've decided that there is actually something for everyone here...action, suspense, people holding hands, fighting dogs...I got more than one font going on. This is literally the zenith of my webcomic career. Right here. And you got front row seats to this nonsense.

I got nothing left, you bloodsuckers. I'm going to listen to Sufjan Stevens and try to score some Robitussin.

Leave me.

#44 - Do You See What I See?

Maybe this sounds a tad dramatic, but there are times when I think about the big picture and the terrible things going on in the world, and wonder whether or not I could make a better contribution to, like, my brothers and sisters, other than doing Alex The Knight.

But then I realize that I probably can't, and that this is what I got, and so...why not take a few hours and make another one today?
