I said a long time ago that I would not add new characters to the strip since we already had so many to keep up with.  However, my brother in law (the man who has been like an older brother to me for nearly 20 years, and like a second father to Casey) recently had surgery to remove a brain tumor and I remembered that he was the first one to buy our book, he reads the strip religiously, and in real life, any time I need help with anything at all, he’s the first one in line.  In fact, he is that way with every single member of our family.

‘Moose’ is an amalgam of several people including Steve (in fact, many of the kind hearted things Moose has said in the strip have come from conversations that Steve has had with me.),  but, if I can break my rule for ANYbody, it’s gonna be him.   He appears in Saturday’s strip.

Get well soon, old boy!

Happy birthday to my Jenny.  We are like Peas and Carrots.

This weeks Casey and Scotty strip features Galactic President Gripp.  Last time we saw The Prez, he looked completely human.  So for those of you who missed my crudely produced animation of the Transformation of President Gripp, here you go.  This should explain it all.

Art imitates life, no doubt.  I was working in the backyard yesterday, and took a break to hang out with the greatest dog ever and my wife snapped this picture.
