Crime Scene
Charlie and Mabel were left for dead in a snowbank two years ago. We took them in and gave them a job: watch the shop, report anything unusual. Today, no girls. Just an open window and a light rain.

Teamwork
The timeline was insane. Custom linocuts, a new imprint, an ISBN, a bar code, six greeting cards, a bookmark for good measure, and an ecommerce site we insist on calling SHOW-PIFFY.

Cat Tum
When Mabel isn't killing things, she can be found relaxing in her favourite sunbeam. Cute. Fuzzy. A little smile pulling at her lips. Probably dreaming of dismembering something.

A Part Of Your World
Trying not to die under the waves. Time has a way of distorting memory, particularly when memories were formed as a child. My memories of growing up are pretty fantastical—I’ve…

The Day of the Cheat
If you are a Strongbad fan you will be sorely disappointed in this post—sorry about that. One day I will write a tribute to Strongbad and the Cheat, but today is not that day. “A…

The Fine Art of Going Home

Last year I doodled a cat for every book sold, and by Sunday the doodles had escalated into something resembling effort. This year: the Stoopid Stick Cat™. Simpler. Faster. Arguably worse.
