Well … 2020 has certainly been … interesting. I am still working on Oreo Cookies [Family Packs at a time, mind you] and to say I am stir-crazy is an understatement. I am … something. So, is it any surprise that the US election is … terrifying?
I cannot guarantee a timely delivery with this product as Covid-19 is still doing a number on many industries that affect independent artists like Yours Truly. It’s … frustrating.
But, it is what it is. I hope you enjoy the buttons. I am off to order a few packs for myself. I am curious as to how gummed up the production/packaging/shipping is lately. I mean, I just received a package that I had ordered in June 2020. As in, I received it TODAY. That’s ok — it was like CHRISTMAS! “What could it be?!” [It was a pair of shoes that are so cool because I only wear cool shoes].
Speaking of Christmas — or Yule — or Hanukkah — Kwanzaa — National Cookie Day — or if you are a poor soul with a birthday over the holiday season [raises hand], Holiday Cards will soon be available!
And the new year will be right around the corner …
If you have an idea for a product, print, or comic feel free to shoot me an email!

“THERE MAY BE DELAYS”
NOV 15 2020 INDIANA Hello Fellow Travelers! At last, after a few weeks of laying low, I am almost to Ohio! I enjoy travel as much as the next guy but I am ready to land! Darned mail-in voting put a glitch in mail travel! But that’s OK!! I am PSYCHED!
“THERE MAY BE DELAYS”
NOV 15 2020 TOLEDO, OHIO The LAST STOP before my final destination! I cannot tell you how excited I am! I will still arrive in plenty of time for grand celebrations!
TOLEDO OH SIDE STORY: In December 2018, a Toledoite saw a big ol’ weed horkin’ up the intersection of Secor and Alexis. The city knew about said weed but seriously, Toledo has a little more to worry about than an unsightly, overgrown weed.
As a lark, said Toledoite went into the corner drug store for décor. A Christmas ball strategically placed was like a beacon in this less-than-stellar town. Then … it grew and it grew. Like the Grinch’s heart except there was no roast beast to carve. The Toledo community left gifts, scarves, shoes, blankets, mittens, money, non-perishable food etc, for people in need.
It was to the point there were daily pick-ups for charity. We had Santa, elves, and a stream of carolers. Good-hearted people came out of the woodwork (Surprise! There are a couple of those still out there!). It was the best thing ever and restored an ounce of my faith in humanity.
Then, of course – someone tried to commercialize the thing and it all died.
From one snarky bulb to a wondrous act of kindness
Even those with the blackest of hearts had their moment …
NOV 20 2020 DETROIT, MICHIGAN What?! Wait. Ohhhh, Ok. THIS is the LAST STOP before my final destination. I am still excited! I am going to make it before Thanksgiving! I think.

DON’T CARE ABOUT THE STUPID BEAN
TRUE STORY: Anish Kapoor [the artist behind Chicago’s bean seen above] PURCHASED THE RIGHTS to the Blackest Color Ever Made. I can’t make this up. So, in retaliation, another artist , Stuart Semple, made his own super black—and now? It’s Even Blacker. SEE IT HERE Everyone is allowed to use Stuart Semple’s new Black 3.0 —except Anish Kapoor. You have to digitally sign-off on a promise that you are NOT Kapoor or associated with his studio. Yes. Really.
