Birthday Delay

This week we've been celebrating my birthday and my son's birthday, so during all the fun and frivolity today's Hermit Hill comic didn't quite make it to completion. Don't worry, Walter and the gang will be back in action next week.

The Varmint.

Still loving drawing the animal characters. Walter's going to have his hands full for a while.

Daily Doodle

Here's a recent page out of my sketchbook. The kid sketches are from an idea I'm working on for our family Christmas cards this year and the guy is... well, just a random thought I guess.

Daily Doodle

What would I do without a pen and scrap paper? I just tend think better while I'm doodling.

Chasing Critters.

Time to give Walter a little work out after his sleepy ways last week. I really enjoyed drawing the little animals. I'll have to develop those guys a bit and keep them around.

Sketchbook Doodles

Here's a page I was doodling on last night while watching TV. Trying to work out some issues I have with Walter's character design. I still feel I may have made him too complex. I would much rather boil down my characters to look more iconic, like in the comic strip B.C.

Goin Nuts.

It's been a sleepy week for Walter. I'll have to jazz things up a bit for him next week.

Politics!

Like everyone else I was glued to the TV last night and no matter who you voted for yesterday you can't deny that history was made. It was an inspiring night. I don't draw a lot of political stuff in my work, but I did do this cartoon last year and it's the closest I have to being relevant to the election, so I'm posting it now.

I went through a phase in 2007 of being interested in doing one panel cartoons. At the time, the iPhone had just come out and was getting more press than the building presidential election and so I drew this cartoon.

Can we take to task... any politician... or serious topic... through silly drawings? YES WE CAN!

The Big Event.

Happy election everybody! Just a touch of politics in today's strip, but it mostly just shows Walter's indifference to the outside world. I had the opportunity to cast my vote early last week, so here's hoping nobody does anything monumentally stupid in the final hours that would make me regret my vote. Although, after over a year of this circus I doubt anyone has anything left hiding their closet.
