I launched a new webcomic strip today. Or I should say, I finally gave a name and a home to a sporadically produced collection of single and multi-panel strips featuring a cat who talks to a cartoon version of myself.

This summer has marked the longest period of zero cartooning I have had since college almost 20 years ago. Seriously, I have not drawn ONE SINGLE CARTOON since June. Doodles on napkins don’t count.
