Drawing a daily strip is much too time consuming as a hobby at the moment. I think I’ll leave it hanging here with Feekle and Dufus splitting up.

I’ve opened up a “cubicle” over at thecartooniststudio.com. This art form is much more difficult than one would imagine or maybe it is just as difficult as you imagine. Either way, I’m going to try and keep updating, practicing, and evolving as a cartoonist.

Do you know how the U.S.  military mentally breaks someone in boot-camp? Sleep deprivation. Want to interrogate someone without causing physical harm? Deprive them of sleep. In just one night you can break someone down to the point where they will confess to assassinating Abraham Lincoln. So what kind of information could my 16 month old daughter want  from her mother and father by keeping us up all night with her incessant screaming unless she was held? Why yes, we can go watch Strawberry Shortcake’s Itty-Bitty Adventures at 5 o’clock in the morning sweetie. What’s that? Of course you can have a bowl of ice-cream and pull the whiskers out of the cat’s face my dear! Let me write down the bank account numbers for you, that way you won’t forget them. I won’t even question why you bought one thousand dollars worth of jelly bracelets and hair-bows.

By 6:30 this morning I had fed the baby, fed the cats, loaded the dishwasher, prepped the stew for dinner, and made our daughter’s lunch. I have eight hours of work ahead of me and I’m so tired I feel sick.
