A four-panel black-and-white comic by Madscott. Panel 1: A stern-faced cat sits alone off panel someone says "Yes, hello... can you please get some help." Panel 2: A second, smaller and more cheerful cat has joined the first; the person off panel clarifies "I was hoping for some human help actually." Panel 3: The perspective shifts to ground level, revealing the recurring bearded man lying flat on the floor, looking up with a pained expression, saying "I know that laying here looks like fun..." Panel 4: A wide shot of the room shows the man splayed on the floor near a window and bookshelf, surrounded by multiple cats sitting calmly nearby, with the speech bubble completing his thought: "But I'm in a lot of pain." The humor lands on the cats' total indifference — one halfheartedly attempted to summon help, but the others are simply enjoying the spectacle of their human on the floor, which to them probably does look like a perfectly reasonable place to lie down.

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.
