One of the reasons this policy has worked well, and undetected, is because the prisoners are provided civilian clothes to wear while in transit. Those orange jumpsuits just make them stand out a bit too much.

The Comic Critic Reviews Two of a Kind
But first we have to get caught up on a couple of strips of....
Have you ever wondered why John Travolta needed a comeback? Or why Olivia Newton John was never seen in another big hit after “Grease” came out? It’s because there are movies out there that go beyond box office bomb. These films are more than just duds; they reek of the vile stench of the unholy. Mere association with such a film is enough to derail your career, but to be the star of such a fiasco? Oh, Mommy! Good luck to you, Mate. With any luck whatsoever, the industry and viewing public will completely forget this travesty, and your involvement with it. That is, unless some cartoonist comes along to encourage his readership to leave this dusty DVD on the shelf.

Crest for Construx
Steve McConnell and I back in 1993 when we were introduced by Kim Eggleston, who was then working at Microsoft Press. Steve was just finishing up his book “Code Complete” and was looking for a few illustrations to go inside it. He liked what I did for that book so much that he asked me to come back and do illustrations for his next book “Rapid Development”. Around this time Steven formed his company Construx. Construx Software has become a regular client, hiring me to do all sorts of drawings for them each year. For this project Steve sent me an email with some rough concepts about what he and his crew wanted in the way of a company crest. He was very pleased with the first sketch I sent back to him, and being the absolutely great client that he is, only requested one minor color change. What a great client.

The Return of Stickman #1003
When I read the news that Mississippi is the fattest state in the country once again, I had so many ideas I didn’t know where to start, so I grabbed the second gag that came to mind. The first gag involved Paula Deen, and then I remembered that while she’s from the South, she’s not from Mississippi.

The Return of Stickman #1002
I know this is an ancient news story. Good luck finding a link to it anywhere. But I felt that anything I went through the trouble of drawing, and then losing behind my desk for a few months was still worthy of being posted.
