Have you heard about "Week Notes"? I like the idea, little regular posts summing up the various things you've been up to. I had meant to start at the beginning of the year, but well. Going to give it a try. I'd like to post stuff here and not just on the socials, and weekly feels like a cadence I can handle.
I've put up a page collecting some comics I've been drawing this year. Quick, fun, no planning, pen on letter sized paper with color pencil. They're about a crocodile (or is it an alligator) who steals candy from children. Go take a look. I need to clean up the scans, but if I waited around to do it proper, I'd never get them up.
Shelly Duval passed away this week and I've been listening to her tracks from the Robert Altman "Popeye" movie. This demo is a good listen. I hadn't heard it before.
Last weekend I read a ton of great comics, and got the new Peep Show in the mail today. Maybe I'll write something about them next week. Here's a list.
