Working Daze - What Happened?

For the past four years, I've had the pleasure of working with John Zakour to create the daily comic feature Working Daze for United Media. But as many of you may have noticed, a new artist has taken over. What happened?

I decided that doing the drawing duties for Working Daze was just not the best use of my time. It was a lot of work for very little money - a situation that I did not see changing any time soon. Additionally, working more than 100 hours a month didn't give me a lot of personal time. And now that I've started a new job, I want a little more time for things beside drawing lots of cartoons for low pay.

Don't get me wrong - I truly enjoyed working with John these past few years. I also enjoyed hearing from folks who enjoyed Working Daze. I guess what they say is true - you don't know what you've got til it's gone. Don't worry - I'll continue to draw Gamecreature cartoons on a weekly basis.

Don't be a stranger!

Game On!

Due to popular demand, I've expanded my game page. It's still not ready for prime time, but I've updated and expanded the links to make it easier to reach from the home page and the comic page. There's currently 10 games there for your enjoyment with more to come! Check it out here.

Oh, and here's this week's cartoon. Will the fun ever stop?

Early Bird

This week's cartoon is the result of "if things continue in this direction" line of thought, a great way to come up with gags, if I do say so myself. BTW, we're just seven weeks away from the 100th Gamecreature cartoon! Tell your friends! Any ideas on how I should commemorate the occasion? And how am I doing so far?

Two weeks ago, with much fanfare, Fox introduced a new drama called "Drive," about an illegal, no-holds-barred, anything goes cross-country race. The intriguing part about the show was that in this race, how you get to the finish line appeared to be just as important (if not more important) than getting there at all. Notice how I used the past tense there? Yep, after three airings of the program, Fox programming directors (which seem to have the attention span of a hyperactive chihuahua in a room full of tennis balls) have decided that the show wasn't going anywhere and pulled the plug. This isn't the first time this has happened, either. I keep saying, nope, that's the last time I invest any time in a show on Fox, because they'll just take it away the moment I'm looking forward to the next episode. So this is it, you guys. You've teased me just one too many times. I don't care how great the show looks, I'm not going to watch it, because there's no reason to - the better the show, the greater the likelihood that it won't be around next week.

Sigh.

Hopefully Gamecreature will be around next week, in spite of my allergies. Please stay tuned, won't you?
