UPDATE 8/23: My apologies for anybody who came over from FMyLife.com Sunday evening and found a broken site! I upgraded my database to be able to handle more traffic (which I was told would be seamless) but there was an error that broke the site for about two hours! Anyway, hopefully it all works now, and thanks for coming back. Okay, back to the original posting for this comic:
Hey! Okay for anybody who hasn’t been here since Monday, one more shameless plug of my appearance in MAD Magazine and then I’m done.
I finally got a few copies myself and discovered that my comic is toward the back on Page 51 in The Strip Club feature, so flip to it!
What else is new? Oh, doing a comic for FMyLife.com soon… soon, like, tonight, which I think should be posted up Saturday (hopefully), and I’m working on a new wallpaper to put up for anybody who might want it.
Alright, TGIF, everyone, right? Thanks for stopping by yet again (or for the first time if you’re new), and stay tuned!

I subscribed to Mad recently, partly to see your work in this and future issues … and, with any luck, to see my work in future issues as well. Besides, Mad still rocks, after all these years!
@ today's comic: I don't know why she'd be prejudiced against a guy who obviously is good with tools. Oh wait, maybe it's because he's not wearing pants.

Perhaps a bad former relationship with a handyman? No pants is a bad sign, but maybe it's just hot out there…

@Chuck: I think she hates galloshes, which I most likely spelled wrong

Subtract one "L" and you got it, Mark! I know these things- I got second place in the spelling bee in the 5th grade. The dreaded word that ended my run: "handkerchief."

…except for maybe the whole thing about driving around in a big truck filled with loose rattlesnakes. Other than that, though, good decision maker.

As Chuck mentioned, wear pants next time. It works wonders.

I like the mouse-over effect you put in today's comic. Nice touch.

Thanks! It's a new feature that I enabled (or had Frumph enable for me, rather) a few weeks ago so it's on about 10 strips now. Eventually I'll go back into the archives and add it to all of the comics, so check the archives soon!

Welp, with FML, they have a Saturday blog, I believe, where comic artists illustrate a random FML. With MAD, my second round of rejected comic strip submissions to newspaper syndicates resulted in a syndicate editor giving my name to the editor at MAD, and voila!

That hitchhiker probably needs to re-evaluate his approach to the whole hitchhiking thing! Congrats on the fml thing… if I may ask, did they find you, or did you send a submission?

Sure, I think they have a link on their page, "The Illustrated FMLs." You can send an e-mail for them to review your site and consider you.

Great – as usual! This is meant as a compliment – sometimes the characters eyes remind me of one of my favorite all-time characters – Bill the Cat.
Ack!

I wouldn't take a comparison to Bloom County as anything but a compliment!

I'd pick him up. He looks like he could help me open up that can of sardines where the tab pull snapped off.

That's a good point, assuming he uses the tiny end of the axe and not the chainsaw.

Also, I cannot unsee Marty Feldman and Bill the Cat when I look at this guy now, thanks to Bearman and Rick the Stick.
Not that that's a bad thing.

And Marty Feldman can't unsee you either. "Hump…what hump??"

You're comics are so cute. =] I'd have picked him up if he was hotter.

Your* And nevermind the chainsaw and ax, he's wearing no pants. That's a score in my books.
