Due to popular demand, the Nervous Dog Magazine cartoon is available for purchase in my store as a small poster, a magnet, a postcard and a birthday card!

Found this caricature of me drawn at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Fla., many years ago. Some of it still holds up (bad facial hair, big feet, many discarded ideas).
But if it were drawn today, there would be some key changes: Not quite as skinny now as I was then, now drawing on digital tablet instead of paper, thinking of red wine instead of beer.
Yes, in the distant future, cats and dogs will wear florescent “space collars” and beavers will ride hoverboards.
You have been warned.
I know it’s not basketball season, but it’s always Basketball Mascot Dinosaur Falls On Its Face season, isn’t it?
