See the tree, by me! December 19 2009

I guess there's a little bit of Fred in all of us. I should know, since I've got his nose and ears, fer pete's sake!

Dear Santa: help! December 12 2009

The only time I can remember sitting on Santa's lap is captured in a picture, with me - very red in the face, mouth wide open, tears on my cheeks - doing my best to slide off Santa's knee, with my arms in the air, and a look of total upset on my face.

Hence, I didn't think writing to Santa after that would make much of a difference, so I never did write to him. But he always knew what I wanted, anyway.

Sure wish the 'Noisy Puppets' had been around when I was a kid!

The season to give / the reason to live December 5 2009

I enjoyed doing this comic, but really didn't realize how busy it was going to end up looking. Wow...lotsa ink on this one. But passing the "give" message on is always a wonderful thing to be able to do.

There are so many ways to give, and even just giving a smile can change someone's day.

I hope I gave you a smile today.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve November 25 2009

It's the holiday that starts the winter parties, isn't it? It's probably the first holiday of the fall that friends and families get together to share stories, get updates, and fill their tummys.

May your tummy get its' filling of food while your heart gets its' filling of love from friends and family.

Freddie or not November 21 2009

When I decided to draw this edition with every character, I didn't realize that there are 17 characters in "Fayette-cetera" until it all came together.

Do you have a favorite? Let me know, and I'll pass it on.

Reading Between the Lines November 14 2009

Isn't that Baby William so cute? I hope he never grows up! Actually, I'll see to it that he doesn't!
