With everything taking forever to get done, and so little time left in life, this CLOG is a return to the immediacy of bogarting the Xerox machine with a pocketful of change and a glass of wine. I'll be using this space the way teen-agers sing into hairbrushes in the bathroom, so don't say that I wasn't up front about who I am at the beginning of this relationship.
Note: This Clog was made on a black and white computer. Color is too expensive for this kind of spontaneity.

Damn, you have the power to shut off teh internetz while you work? I admire your discipline--I am plugging away at a book of my own, but goddamn Facebook keeps me filling our surveys instead of writing. Good luck!
e, this illustration is sick. i'm digging it.
miss you!
c.xo
ps yes thats me with short blonde hair. i wrote you a while back to explain, dont know if you got it or not, ive got a little breast cancer issue on my hands, but don't worry, im showing it who's boss.
shannon, i unplug the phone turn down the machine, disconnect the internet and go into creepy isolation that used to piss people near me off. but i have to or i'd never finish anything.
and claudia, i don't think i got what you wrote me because i didn't realize you had breast cancer. oh, i wish you boundless resolve and energy and concentration to take care of yourself. i really do. i've been around so many women who came out okay on the other side.
be well, love.
and thanks you both for writing and checking in. this clog was getting lonely when i was just writing to and for myself. twitter was good for the back and forth, but i'm staying OFF twitter because hours pass by on that thing.

Erika,
My dear, I hope you have some recollection of me...
You might not...
I was the gay guy in Phila who worked at Tower Books who adored you
(and I still do).
Pls, let us do some comics thing together,
I adore your work.
I'm so happy I found you again via the Jen Camper, Carlo Quispe interview thing!
I am so excited you're working on another book. I'll miss your clog, but understand you've got work to do!
michael, yes of course i remember you! i still have the oversized motorcycle girl image, and it's in the hallway next to my front door. i love that image and the honor of having you go to all that work. i remember you very well. keep in touch, i'm overwhelmed with all that i'm taking on (too much), so i suck right now. but later i'll be a better person.
and snarkysmachine--
thanks for being glad i'm working on another book. i'm terrified it'll suck. someone said, "why can't you be POSITIVE about it instead?" and it's because i'm not really from california. god i hate this faux happiness thing. things go great, but you've gotta slog through a lot of people's fearful crap to get anywhere.
my actions speak for themselves and everything i do, i figure is "rah! rah!" enough, without thinking i have to sweet talk myself as well.
sheesh.
(smile)
thanks, michael and snarkysmachine for leaving notes. in my complaining i'll be fine. complaining is fun and it's funny. failure is more interesting; including my own.
heh heh heh...

Did I mention I loved this drawing?
