Hey, gimmie a break. I just completed a huge, 85-strip love story arc for Theo and Cora. You think this is easy? Snort. Harrumph. For those who may not remember, author Peter Packer wrote (among other things) 25 of the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

A Matter of Belief
Caedmon may be willing to admit when he’s wrong but, when it comes to Theo, things should be taken on a case-by-case basis. Our badger doesn’t come from “The Show Me State” (Missouri); he was raised in the state just[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
