Before you read this, I would prefer that you listen to the audio for the best experience. It’s better. Also, as a disclaimer, know that I worked with some skilled, professional, and dedicated people in both managed and management. Thanks!

A word to all of you out there: I may ignore your chat on FB, or I might not post cartoons on time for a while, but I will sure as hell try. All of you have no idea how much I appreciate each and every one of you. Your compliments, your support, and encouragement are the daily soul food that puts wings on my feet when I stumble, and puts jollies in my heart. Those kind donations you drop in my tip jar serve to buy illustration tools and the coffee that fuels the creative binges. Pens, computer RAM, laser toner, electric bills, larger monitors, iTunes song downloads, and more are all a product of what you have done for me. Thank you. Thank you all. And in spite of my current poverty, you bring me a richness of experiences that a wise Latina would envy. While I will have to put the ego first and figure out what the heck I’m going to do about this whole no-work-no-money jamb, I will push, strive, burn midnight oil, and try my best to be there for you guys in the way you have always been for me.

By the grace of God, for what it’s worth…at least I’m not a Democrat.

Hey barkeep!

I'm so sorry to hear you lost your job. I wish I could donate especially now but I'm hanging on by a thread to keep afloat at the moment.. If my situation changes anytime soon, I will be throwing some change in the tip jar.

Thank you for everything you do. You have a great blog and we will understand if we don't hear from you as you figure out what your next move is..

Take care of yourself and know we are all hoping something better comes along. They say things happen for a reason...

Sorry to hear the news, my friend. Losing ones job is always a kick in the pants...unless you for some reason purposely encourage the course of action to happen....At any rate, I can offer you this advice: keep an optimistic mindset (as you always do) and you are sure to bounce back!

Drake,
What happened? Was the job loss politically motivated? You may wish to look at Houston for relocation. It seems that the only state with a positive job flow is Texas.

Your cartoons are good, artwork is excellent, but the message is often opaque and sometimes rather neoconservative leaning. Hopefully you can do some studying in your transition period and improve the message toward a more traditional Republican philosophy.

Thanks, I guess.

BTW Wayne:

I am not a Minarchist Libertarian. I am a Republican Conservative.

Not changing.

Hope you fins another job!
