“This very website is based entirely around the concept of no longer liking something. When you don’t like something that other people do like, you naturally wonder why that is. My entire purpose here is to make a passionate and convincing argument with which you can side (or assail), make it funny, and if at all possible, make it a cartoon. To go against this unstated mission would betray my loyal readers and myself. Koo koo gajoob.”

THE FINE PRINT
If you want to hire me, WYSIWYG. I am always behind on commissions and frankly I do not work fast; everything you see is a one-man show. Please do not confuse me with any sort of corporate “art slave”. As noted above, I have been a functioning professional independent artist since 1991. Regarding licensing, works cited above, and all material on this website, unless I request it, I accept no editorial guidance, suggestions, or unsolicited advice whatsoever. Political opinion is particularly unwelcome and will result in targeted invective and verbal abuse. I haven’t made it this far by pandering to special interest groups or social agendas. I am more than aware of the rarity of my particular creative skills and I expect to be treated with consequent respect. If you offer “exposure” as compensation, kindly remind yourself who found who.
Thank you sincerely for your understanding. This is the attitude I am forced to take after three decades of operating online. It might seem rude or discourteous to normal people.
