The Far Side

Wow, no kidding the traffic in this tribe is slow. :)

Since nobody else is talking, thought I might rattle this off. I'm a big fan of Gary Larson's old Far Side comic strip (panel if you want to get technical), but I've not really looked at the newspaper in years... I realized just the other day he retired it in '95 while I was in the process of researching comic strip syndication. Thing is, I've been a computer programmer since '98 and frankly, I'm sick of the people who work in that industry and honestly much happier doing other things like illustrating. So I've started illustrating some comic strips to build up a portfolio to interest the syndication companies. Some of them are on my tribe photos although there are a lot more on my cafe press site because I'm trying to shift my income away from programming, so I'm focusing on the immediate income potential. Basically I'm trying to quit programming and up to this point I'm finding it's about as difficult as quitting smoking. :) So have a look at my tribe photos or have a look at my cafe press store, let me know how I stack up to Larson and if you like any of it, spread it around! :)

Yeah, yeah, I know it's considered rude to post "adverts" in forums, and I don't care. :) Rubbing against the grain is what this tribe is supposed to be for anyway. :)
