This Special Edition features matching bookmarks featuring rosemary picked directly from Grace Sherwood’s herb garden by her church’s vestry and handed to the author Customers wanting to donate will make payment directly to the Virginia Beach Tragedy Fund: 115 signed, numbered books and 150 prints will benefit the VBTF. Thank you for supporting a good cause and a local author/artist.

Comic Strip helps raise money for Chesapeake Regional Health Foundation

10 donated comic strips were used to raise money for the BRA-Ha-HA event sponsored by the Chesapeake Regional Health Foundation Board of Directors. I have been using the format of comics for decades to promote events. It is touching to find support from this great foundation. I know the Chesapeake General Hospital nearby well. For years, my ex-wife's rheumatoid arthritis was treated there. My comic strip will also be used in next year's Bra-Ha-Ha event to raise money for early detection of cancer. 

Art of Witch Vanishes @ Office Max Printer near her Ducking

I take my originals to Office Max and make prints of my comic strip. I then hold a drawing each week to pick a winner for the a signed print. But when I depicted the Witch of Pungo, the original mysteriously vanished at Office Max. The Operations Manager said they wouldn't throw away an original even if it was a kid's drawing. I asked the printer who printed some of my other strips, and he doesn't know where it went. Good 'ole witchcraft.
