My Bio
In second grade, one of my drawings was mistaken for senior high school work. That was the only year, for 35 years, that I had any art training, so I'm not as far along as I wish. Years of misery kept me from doing much art. Last decade or so, I've been happy, thanks to friends, and have been able to crank out pretty decent (though overly complicated) cartoons on deadline for a university newspaper.

Trying to get going as a web cartoonist
0 min read
Back around 2008 I started working on a web site for my comic strips. Some years before, I'd been given a copy of a wonderful eText, "Teach Yourself HTML," by Laura LeMay. She's a miracle worker, as far as I'm concerned. I started learning, back before I stopped being clinically depressed.
It's only HTML 2.0, so it doesn't work completely with Internet Explorer, but I think the navigation is pretty clear, and I do have a calendar-based archive page, so people can leave, come back, and pick up where they left off.
I still need to work on the version that's done in Wordpress, but I need help with that. Lots of people have said they'd help
