A Conclusion of Sorts

It’s been a long, long time since I had the free time to draw comics, despite my desire to do so. However, I think I’ve managed to clear my schedule enough to begin work on my compilation book(s) early next year. I have long said that since Dumbstruck began with the first major incursion into Iraq, thus beginning the Iraq War, that it would end with the war as well. And while I have not been actively drawing any of strips ever since our big troop pull out last year, I thought it fitting to put together an ending comic for the official end of the war. It’s been a long time coming. I had fun doing this retrospective, and it’s rekindled by desire to put all these strips together into a proper home.

The text might be a little small, so click the image below for the full-size comic.

Dumbstruck: Nine Years of Change

The Girl and The Goat

Sketch

For Valentine’s Day, Lisa reserved us dinner at The Girl and The Goat, which is a restaurant started by Stephanie Izard from Top Chef (Lisa is a Top Chef fiend). She took her Top Chef Cookbook in the hopes of getting it signed. She also asked that I draw a cartoon to give Stephanie (perhaps as a sly way to convince her to sign the book). So despite being under the weather, I sketched out this cartoon for the event.

Unfortunately, Lisa had class ON Valentine’s Day, so we had to go the day before, and Stephanie was not working that say (the waiter said she was at a charity event). We left this drawing for her anyway along with our business cards. Unfortunately, though, we’ve heard nothing from her. :(
