The Future Ain’t What It Used To Be
In honor of the 54th anniversary of the airing of the first episode of Star Trek, I'm pleased to present my comic "Future, Past and Present," which appeared in Vagabond Comics' Issue #12: 20/20, a collection of optimistic visions of the future. This particular issue is a wonderful balm for this particular year. Physical copies... Continue Reading →
Archie, Cat Scout: #The100DayProject2019
Nine years ago today, a black-and-white cat -- he was actually a large kitten, but we didn't know that at the time -- leaped up onto our porch, saw me sitting there, and started to beat a retreat. "Oh, no, it's okay," I said, and he changed his mind and came on over to see... Continue Reading →

We loved him with all our hearts, and he wholeheartedly loved the entire world and everything in it. Scientists claim that cats "simply don’t have the facial... Continue Reading →
Night Cats, Day 11: #The100DayProject2019
"They go together like cats and doughnuts*" is not a metaphor which springs to most people's minds, I guess, which means today's blog entry requires some exposition. I mentioned in a previous post that the Night Cats are based on my friend's cats; we met them during a weekend visit. As a sort of hostess... Continue Reading →
