Surfin' Safari

Huh!

Reception to this week's strip has been quite positive! Which sorta surprises me, actually. I thought it was a hard sell, certainly less self-explanatory than some of my other strips. But then, I'm still looking at it from a creator's point of view. After squinting at my at-first blank piece of paper for several hours, I can only see the flaws and problems. The smudges, the fights! THE LIES!

Okay, not the lies. There aren't any lies.

It'll take some time, I guess. While we're waiting, I hope you'll enjoy the photo of me, taken in northern California last year. I'm posting it for my friend John, who wrote to me the other day after I'd neglected his correspondence for months, to show him just how far I've come as a surfer since our trip to El Salvador a few years ago.
