That's easy, Amanda. It's because I'm an IDIOT. Look closely and you'll see that I am, however, both right and wrong at the same time...which makes me completely wrong by default. Sadly, he has a ring on each hand. I don't remember doing that, but I suspect I penciled the incorrect one first, penciled the correct hand next, forgot to erase the first and then inked overboth of them. (I was kinda racing against deadline, but that's no excuse) Anyway, maybe this guy is a polygamist?

So...is this an Amanda I know or an Amanda I don't know?

freudiantypo/histrionicsdotzip/Tamara,
I knew it was you, but I enjoy pretending you're two different people so that it feels like more people actually look at my blog. :)

I dig your cartoon so I'm about to send you an fb message about it!

Oh yeah...you're too kind.

here's one small example of a page of "comics"

Feel pretty impotent in comparison with your glowing work.

Sigh. I am both "freudiantypo" and "histrionicsdotzip." I need to pay more attention. Yeesh.

There really isn't, actually...I should work on that. And none of it is really "inked." The furthest I got with that was putting gray areas in my black and white comics using photoshop.

If I can round some up maybe I can send you an email!

Aaron, thanks for the compliment chased by a stern look for the joker comment. ;) No, you're right, I have a tendency to widen my mouths a bit much.

Pamela, :)

Freudiantypo,
Thanks! Hands can be tricky, but fortunately, I have two of them I can use for reference! Plus, the more I draw them the more I build up my visual library of what they can and can't do. And kudos for putting yourself in illustrations as well, both on purpose and by accident. We're beautiful people and the world needs to see us. ;)
Also...thanks for the observation about the smooth and jagged surfaces! I was proud of that one. Sadly, however, I forgot to put the jagged surface on the broken part of the dollar sign. Oh well. So is there some place I can see some of your work?

You draw excellent hands! I'm so envious. (I w...

You draw excellent hands! I'm so envious. (I wish I knew more about cartooning! Did you ink that by hand?) (Also I always draw myself in illustrations, too, sometimes by accident.) Anyway, I love the attention to detail...the little crumbles of dollar sign... and the smooth surface where the groom sawed and the jagged surface where the bride used a sledgehammer. Very nice!

I recognized you as the model for the shopping cart guy.

The wedding piece looks great Shane. Bride, however, ... looks a bit like she's got a joker smile on.
