That’s what I’ve been up to as well; this entire series is nothing if not autobiographical. And, like Knuckles, I am not telling the truth. Really there has been a lot going on, more than I would have predicted, but nothing so ridiculous that you’d want details. The good news is Herman is back, for a little while anyway, and this strip is the start of a terribly miserable story.

But I haven’t been completely stagnant; I’ve been slowly coloring my short story, Sunward (10 pages so far), and illustrating Ray Howell’s even shorter Tin Stories. It’s something, right? I’ve also done some lying on the couch. And Rebecca and I have been baking pies (it’s strawberry season, which means it is strawberry rhubarb pie season).

What have you been up to?
