Sign up for my monthly e-comic!

I would LOVE it if you signed up for my monthly e-comic. It is definitely my favorite of my projects. Once a month I set aside a Monday and Tuesday, and burrow into a little hole made of down comforters, pens, and apple products, and I create an e-comic. I send them out on the second or third Wednesday of every month. Oprah loves them. “I love them,” said Oprah.

Sales

I feel like Society6 is practically giving this stuff away. Free shipping every other sometime. This time it’s free shipping through Sunday. Here are my recommendations:

I made this poster for my mom, because she loves Lee. It’s all of my favorite drawings of Lee compiled together, so you really get a sense of just how naughty and awesome Lee is. In my mind, you hang this in your kid’s room and it gets tempera paint splattered all over it and then you give them a time out. Purchase here. 

This is based on a true story. Pete needed help taking out the trash, but I had a popsicle. It’s a lose-lose. Purchase here. 

This is an all-time fav of mine. I love wine and this is what happens to me. Wine rocks. Purchase here.

Is this not the cheesiest f*ing pillow you’ve ever seen? Purchase here.
