A four-panel black-and-white comic by Madscott, dated 2026. A bearded man and a small cat appear together throughout. Panel 1: The man looks down at the cat and asks, "What am I even doing here today cat?" Panel 2: Both face forward as the man says, "Yes, I do remember that these comics help me learn." Panel 3: A close-up of the man's face, looking modestly pleased, as he says "Yes, I am seeing some improvement." Panel 4: The man continues, "No, I don't see how they are like a hairball" — while the cat, sitting with its back partially turned, holds up a small sign reading "Maybe I do."

So I am trying out a new system starting this week. I am going to start drawing a comic on one morning and finish it on the next and then start on the next comic. Maybe that will mean a regular schedule. As a reminder we have a store now. You can find it at Back40Arts over on Etsy. If you’re looking for a custom card or drawing let me know.

We have a store!

I do in fact have a shop… now.. Okay it’s an Etsy shop but that should work out for the best. You can find it at Back40Arts over on Etsy. Please do stop and look around. It’s a bit sparse yet but more to come soon. We will be listing items from both myself and my family. Eventually we will have sketches, photos, crafts, quilts, and likely more for you.

So things are actually good.
  • I still want to upload the years of old strips. I’m torn between waiting until the comic easel bulk up-loader works and just doing a week at a time until I’ve caught up.
  • No comic this morning due to snowplowing. We got 12 inches of snow and I normally get up early to draw but instead I had to plow the driveway. Maybe tonight.
  • Holiday Geek Expo was a blast and profitable. I still have some prints for sale and I think I’m going to blow out my old sketch cards to freshen the set up.
