I've often been the subject of my comics, making fun of myself is a talent I believe I have developed quite well. Some people display their diplomas in their offices, or in the living room of their home. I have several diplomas, awards and citations for being a smart fellow and I display them in one of my bathrooms. I am proud of my accomplishments and want to share them, but I also don't want to flaunt them. Having them displayed on a bathroom wall reminds me that no matter how many degrees I've earned or awards I've been given I am still full of shit several times a day. Here's a comic that mocks my obsession with pop culture and fear that I will bore people to death.

Skratch, the comic made from scratch
I tried my hand at developing a daily comic strip many years ago and it is hard work. I have nothing but admiration for cartoonists, especially those who produce a daily strip. My idea, and I may go back to it someday, was to develop a comic strip from the ground up, sort of a meta-comic where the characters are well aware of their placement in a comic strip. Characters, plot lines, even background would be added or subtracted as needed. I drew six daily strips and for whatever reason stopped there… maybe ran out of ideas… how do these people produce new work for every day?
Here are the six pages I drew probably back around 1990. I do like the sparse drawing style I was using, I know I could at least draw the panels in that style if I could come up with the ideas.
