Having experienced "burn out" I fully understand. Had he kept slogging away, would it have been quality work? Probably not. Now he is fresh and back. I am enjoying it.

So I'm sure he felt he had to be back in action before this weekend, when perhaps there's finally a worthwhile candidate starting off primary season with the Iowa caucuses instead of him having to run Bill and Opus then...



And there really was a Charmin' Jeff Harmon that worked at a local radio station named KRNA in Iowa City in the old days too...

Occasionally he doesn't post.

Some days he posts "classics". It's fun to see some old ones that I may have forgotten.

that's for sure. The great ones never do.

Now if only Watterson would bring back Calvin and Hobbes, even for a few months.

rather than burn out and become another artist in an early grave

NOW, he comes at the right time to kick some badly needed arse!
