A color comic labeled “MadScott,” dated 2026. A bundled-up woman in a purple coat, knit hat, gloves, and boots stands outdoors facing a bearded man wearing a blue cap, heavy jacket, and blue pants. A sparse, wintry cityscape with a tall building and a small tree appears in the background under a pale sky.

The man says, “Mostly I’m just disappointed that when the end of the world arrived—”
“—the weather wasn’t a little warmer.”

The joke contrasts apocalyptic expectations with mundane disappointment about cold weather.

WIP

I’ve been slow with the comics so I thought you might like to see how far I am on the latest one. work in progress

Method

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.

State of the site

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.
