I think you can pretty much expect that if there is not an update on Wednesday, it will appear on Friday. My son was home sick this week, so I couldn’t get any work done. I had been AHEAD only a couple weeks ago, but the Spring Break and Various Other Things Life Throws At a Person put me off track.

My son is fine now, by the way.

Next week’s update should arrive on time. Thanks for your patience.

Also: If you are coming here from Red State, you should know that I am not the Kevin Moore who sent Erick Erickson a threatening email. Mine is a common enough name (seriously, I have thought of changing it or at least adopting a nom de plum); and threatening people with physical harm is really not my style. If I don’t like someone, I simply don’t talk to them. Why waste my time? At worst I’ll draw a rude cartoon of them. Not a mature nor enlightened approach, I guess, but it’s at least not violent.

Hey! This one is on time! WOW!

Actually I’ve been pretty good about that for the last few months. I wish I could clone myself and make the stupid clone do all the drudge work while I, the artistic genius unleash my brilliant creativity upon the world. Or at least get the pig on schedule. Either way.

Thought I’d something more to say….

Until a few people pointed it out, the resemblance of the sharks to Jabberjaw had not occurred to me. It’s weird what creeps into your subconscious and then creeps back out 30 years later.

After all this time, the show really doesn’t hold up.

Momma always said don’t play with your food.

Mermaids were fun to draw, but sharks? Whole new level. Fun doesn’t begin to describe it. Suddenly I’m a six-year-old with a giant picture of a shark to copy from — save that I’m really a 40-yo with Google image finder at my disposal, and thus thousands of shark reference photos. Hence the bits of blood on the shark gums. My six-year-old son would approve.
