Self-portrait, 2008, ink with digital color.

As I was coloring this, my wife told me it'd look good with red pants.

"But I don't own any red pants," I complained.

"Maybe you ought to," she replied.

In other clothes-related news, I'm fairly convinced that Bryan Lee O'Malley's characters are the best-dressed in comics.

UPDATE: I've a crowded schedule, so I'm resting the weblog during the month of March. Meanwhile, I invite you to investigate a few friendly links (see sidebar)!

  4. alexei: Thanks!

    anonymous L: You make me blush.

    monkeyfeather: Glad it pleases yer peepers, John.

    rick: It's too bad we don't often see one another. More exposure'd make for a funnier drawing, I'm sure. Still, I'd be willing to sometime give it a try!
