With an ice storm looming, this mood reflects, more or less, how I’m feeling tonight. (I think the original self portrait was an attempt to capture the frustration of writers’ block, or cartoonists’ block.) (Depression may have been an issue then, too.) Anyway, you get the idea.

     By the way, today is the first day of right-handed drawings again (after a week’s rest), and my hand seems to be doing well. I drew some toads and a couple of silly people, and a few hand puppets (a new-ish strip).

      Concerning the impending ice storm: My sympathies to all of you in Seattle. But didja have to send it over HERE?!

Peace,

Steve
