Big Little Brother, page 4.

.....Aaaand the adventures of Jim and/or Picca for dessert, as usual. Pump, pump, pump them holes!

Big Doys and Girls Card Game, page 15.

By next Sunday, both the weekday strips and the Sunday color page will be reaching the end of their stories. I'm pondering what to do next. I just got a new illustration job on my plate, so my time is more restricted than ever.

   Maybe I'll run sample pages of proposed stories again, and the Patrons pick which one you like best? If I'm gonna burn the midnight oil, it should be for something you good folk actually want to see.

Love in the Arena, page 5.

You can't really herd together thugs from the whole country, while keeping said cattle-drive a secret. Somebody with damn good aim was waiting and ready for the self-appointed general....

Savage put on a brave face as he drove off the next morning - but his first stop was at his chiropractor.

....But when asked, he said it was "TOTALLY WORTH IT!"

No one lives forever! part 74.

Well, duh! What else are you supposed to do with Mink's juicy bod?

No one lives forever! part 73.

Where Max Solomon gets his hopes up.

Big Little Brother, page 3.

Yeah, it's silly. But I had fun drawing it, and I hope you'll have fun reading it.

Big Boys and Girls Card game, page 14.

Drecca had led a lonely life for quite awhile before being drawn into Teeka and Dr. Dee's orbit. She's still playing catch-up on all the fun she's been missing.

Love in the Arena, page 4.

As a special treat, you good Patrons get a peek at my work process. Interesting, no?

   Yeah, I just didn't have the time to ink this page up. I will in the near future, after I've delivered the booklet I have to illustrate in the next one and a half days. Where was all this work when I was young and hungry?

No one lives forever! part 72.

Max Solomon the super-nerd wants to hang out with the cool kids. And who can blame him? If I was invited to this party, I just might say "YES!"

   And you, what would you say?

No one lives forever! part 71.

When Max said he had more money than he knew what to do with, he wasn't exaggerating.

No one lives forever! part 70.

Max Solomon has a unfortunate habit of regarding everyone other than himself as a dimwit. So when someone proves themselves to him as not-a-dimwit, he snaps 'em up.

Big little brother, page 2.

Well, you've got to expect that sort of thing to happen if you pull a fella's dick out and suck on it.

Big Boys and Girls card game, page 13.

You can only squeeze so much out of a man. Next game, they should invite more boys.

Love in the Arena, page 3.

Hmh. Everything I'm now posting on Patreon, with the sole exception of the Jim & Picca stories, is new-made. Hope I can keep up the pace!

No one lives forever! part 69.

Savage smirks, but what proof is there that bully-boy is wrong? The gods are what we make of them.

   And yes, Hündrat is a better cook than she is a driver.

No one lives forever! part 68.

The Mink can see auras and read souls. She knows what is lost when someone dies.

No one lives forever! part 67.

Huh. Savage and crew has been around long enough to have backstory. If anyone hasn't read the story of Filiname's bankrupting, but is curious, please contact me and I'll slip you a copy of "PeRkS".

Big little brother, page 1.

Another Jim & Picca tale starts up! Featuring Marge,  the busty parcel delivery lady in the lead role.

   What else? Oh - I've been meaning to mention that the "Karno makes this much per post" announcement on the front page is misleading. It's not $260-something (I WISH!) - it's more like $80 per charged-for post.  Actually might be a little less, now that the Herman Orca story is sharing in the monthly take.

   I really should try to to...

Big Boys and Girls card game, page 12.

Without explanation, the "Save to JPG"  function is available again. I use computers every day, but I don't really trust them.

Love in the Arena, page 2.

While the Church wasn't exactly the rats' enemy before, it sure wasn't their friend.

   Sorry this is so crude, but better the story be done fast & nasty than it not be done at all, yes?

No one lives forever! part 66.

When you acquire great power or great wealth (and if you have great wealth, you can BUY power), it not only changes your life, but also the lives of those around you.

No one lives forever! part 65.

If you're feeding Hündrat, "anything in the fridge" translates to pretty much everything in the fridge.

No one lives forever! part 64.

Note to newbies: Yes, Savage Squirrel thinks he's a superhero. He may not be the most self-aware person.

Busy Day, page 12.

....And that wraps up this little Picca & Jim story. Hope you enjoyed!

Mammal vs. Flower Pollination.

OK, for some reason, Photoshop won't let me save the Sunday page TIFF as a jpg - and Patreon won't let me upload anything but a jpg. Man, I hate sudden, unexplained computer problems. "No user servicable parts inside", indeed.

   So instead, you get an old brainfart that already was a jpg. Hope to have this all figured out by tomorrow's posting!

Love in the Arena, page 1.

New Herman, at long last! Patreon sure is helping me get more stories done. On which subject, I'm planning to run samples of new ideas and old doodles as "dessert" to these pages, much as Picca is now dessert for the Teeka Sunday pages.

   Don't have one right now, but they'll be there next Saturday. And yet again, thank you my Patrons - your generosity makes this whole circus possible.

No one lives forever! part 63.

I've had loved ones almost taken (and actually taken) away from me. It engenders strong emotions.

No one lives forever! part 62.

A color page, just because I could. Thanks for your patience and forbearance, folks!

No one lives forever! part 61.

OK, here's Monday's post - I'll post Wednesday's on Thursday, and then we should be OK on Friday.
