Look! A Parenting Comic!
    I think this is only the second or third parenting comic strip I've ever done. I bring Ren up to bat whenever there's something about parenthood, husbandhood, or siblinghood (he's Rianne's brother) to talk about. It's nice to have a wide range of characters to depict every aspect of me. I can talk about pretty much anything I want on the comic nowadays.
    Anyways, something similar happened to me and my daughter. She is (or was?) a huge fan of Sesame Street's Elmo...

Hey everyone!
    It's August 1 and not only are we returning to a six-a-week update schedule, we're also beginning the week-long countdown to Callous' 17th anniversary!  Today we'll be featuring some guest art and comics that had been submitted in the past that had not yet been shown here.

    Hey everyone!  Here's a bonus comic strip for today! :D
    Looks like another year has passed and it's Dialogue Free Comics Day once more!  Organized annually by Noel Curry, he explains "Dialogue Free Comics Day" as follows:
    "Too often, when writing webcomics I forget that this is primarily a visual artform and so to emphasise that, I’ve set myself the challenge of posting a dialogue free comic on that day..."
    I've contributed every year so far and yet it's still hard to kick the...

Guest Art by Jess Warren

Posted by Carlo Jose San Juan, MD on Wednesday, September 8, 2010,
This adorable piece of guest art is by Jess Warren, the genius behind the delightful Borked Planet and Smellabell!

Jess was the inspiration behind the unicorn Bel Bean rode down a rainbow in the storyline: The Land of the Guardians.  That says a lot about her cheerful personality!  Thanks so much, Jess!
