I’ve been waiting for an excuse to have Satan show up again. Thanks, RLS! Anyway, there was to be a third Markheim strip, but it just wasn’t working out, so I’m starting my holiday break a day early. There won’t be a comic on Friday, I’ll just see you again on January 2nd. On a [...]

Finally, the last of Nicholle’s Travels. I’m rather pleased to be moving on, though I did enjoy this run. But hey, you know me – if anything lasts more than a week, I get antsy. On a completely unrelated note, yesterday, I put together the first installment of what I jokingly refer to as “Silver [...]
It occurs to me that the last strip was somewhat misinterpreted, though understandably so. Most figured that the joke was Nicki showing the pony a freshly-shaved “sensitive area.” In reality, I only meant to imply that she was showing off her legs, in comparison to the wild and unshaven Yahoos. Though the art was a [...]
