This week's strip: "Packaged Foods"

A couple unpacked boxes of random comics and magazines for which I've drawn have been sitting around my apartment since I moved into it in 2004. The explicit indie gay comics, the courtly queer rodeo magazine for which I did a short-lived serial, and a very mainstream, conservative Nashville Opry magazine carrying my illos of George Jones --all sitting cheek by jowl in a sort of weird Darwinian cuddle. What happens when I move them to a new place next month? Are they dying to secede from each other, or did they all learn to just get along?

Ghostwriting in the Book Review

This popped up on the Web recently...I'd just about forgotten I had done it! That Polanski movie "Ghostwriter" is about to release. He stole the idea from me, you know.

This wk's strips: "Marquee Values/My Favorite's Things"

Regarding Karima's T-shirt here, Neda Agha-Soltan, martyr of the 2009 Iranian elections, would have been 28 on January 23. Her name does indeed mean "voice" in Persian. Here's hoping 2010 will bring volume to that voice.
