This is a lidl’ comic I drew almost a year ago, for almost-a-year-old baby Sam. He was born to the Center for Cartoon Studies’ intrepid bursar/registrar/loan councellor/all-around administrator, “Valorous” Val Fleischer. I didn’t want to post it then because I didn’t wanna ruin the surprise, and then I guess I forgot about it. Baby Pat was taller then. At least in the first panel. The simplicity, though, is something I wanna keep going for.

Speaking of CCS, two recent illustration/design jobs for the school are up on my portfolio page: one is for the Visiting Faculty Archive and the Vermont Cartoonist Laureate. And now, I gotta drop Tha Bomb.

I think I’m gonna have to go on a two-month hiatus, folks. There is much to be done by May. I have one post planned for next week, and I know that you’ll have things you’ll want to talk about, and I…will…too.* Socially, I may be a bit of a hermit-monk too. I’m sorry if I’m slow to respond to emails, or have to turn down a killer hangout here and there, but I gotta buckle down and draw comics.

Farmy Acres will still be going, and I’ll try to make at least twice-weekly updates on Facebook/Twitter/Goog Buzz (these updates are also posted on the sidebar, if you’re reading this at my actual website, Dear Reader). They’ll all say the same thing, so it’s up to you which you choose to follow, or if you choose to follow! I can’t tell you what to do!!

Next week! Don’t miss The Vermont Cartoonist Laureate crest: How we dood it!

*Yes, another Mr. Rogers reference. Don’t ask me why. (Another White Album reference in the title, too, you may notice. That’s two in a row!)

And in case you forgot what I did the previous weekend:
