Goat Day Has Come (and Gone) Again

Last year, Goat Day was in early September.  This year, due to the vagaries of goat husbandry, it was the last weekend in June.  Belatedly, here's my design for the 4th annual "Goat Day," the invitation-only celebration of All Things Goat at the farm of my friends Heather & Ken. (Get your Goaterdammerung t-shirts, mugs,... Continue Reading →

Yes.

Or "A Belated Birthday Gift For My Husband, Which I Finally Managed to Finish, Albeit A Couple of Weeks After the Fact."Some notes: My husband Andy is 15 years older than I am, which occasioned some comment when we were dating, and when we got engaged. Most of it was lighthearted in nature -- well, except... Continue Reading →

Love: Exciting and …. "Mew."

Long time, no blog.  I know.  I blame the holidays.  All of them.  Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, National Chocolate Cake Day, National Kazoo Day.  And this year, Penguin Awareness Day & Inauguration Day were on consecutive days!  How could I be expected to get anything done? Okay, you caught me.  Sheer sloth is my only... Continue Reading →

A History of Cleveland, Ohio in 50 Objects, #1 of a Series: The Letter ‘A’

A couple of months ago, the New York Times ran a feature entitled  "A History of New York in 50 Objects," a selection they hoped "could embody the narrative of New York." They were inspired by the BBC's "History of the World in 100 Objects," and I in turn have been inspired by them. Probably... Continue Reading →

30 Days of Comics: Scars.

Click to enlarge.So, somebody had this great idea: "30 Days of Comics," modeled after National Novel Writing Month.  Cartoonists draw 30 comics in 30 days.  Okay.  As I say, it's a great idea -- but 30 Days of Comics takes place in November, which is also NaNoWriMo.   And this year, I was determined to do...

"…the trees don’t die, they just pretend, go out in style, and return in style: a new style."*

Black marker and colored pencil, drawn on the back of an appointment reminder from my doctor.  (If you look closely, you can see the map with directions to the clinic showing through.) For some reason, I've never been good at keeping a sketchbook, but often use scrap paper, the envelopes from junk mail, etc. Found... Continue Reading →

23 Years, 4 Homes, 5 Cats, 2 Dogs, and 1 Mustache, To Say Nothing of Some Truly Regrettable Hairstyle Choices On My Part

No, it's not just you.  It's crooked.  Today is our 23rd wedding anniversary.  There are not enough words in the language for me to tell the world how much I love my husband, or how lucky I am to know him, and what a truly good man he is.So here's a silly drawing instead.  (Little-known...

Vote Goat!

My design for my friends Heather & Ken's 3rd annual invitation-only "Goat Day" celebration. What's Goat Day? As Heather says, "Wait, you don't know about the traditional observance of GOAT DAY? How sad for you. But we can fix that. "Come play with adorable new baby goats. Try your hand at milking a goat if... Continue Reading →

Ninja Uterus Comics

Just in time for the Republican convention!This comic was conceived (get it? get it?) when the divine Deborah Harkness shared Jennifer Tucker's New York Times article "The Medieval Roots of Todd Akin’s Theories."During the ensuing discussion, author Alyssa Harad suggested we go back to the ancient notion of the 'wandering womb,' adding, "I want to send...
