I’ve been waiting a doldrum for Mrs. Silk
To come down from her moonbeams
And give me milk.
I’ve been waiting four decades for Mrs. Right
To put her hands on the table and spread holy light.
I’ve been waiting sixty seasons for Mrs. Pain
To break the bars of my cage and set me free again.
But I’ll keep waiting as long as the dew
Appears each morning and sparkles anew.
I’ll keep waiting as long as the clouds
Disappear into nothing, nature’s shady shroud.
I’ll keep waiting as long as the mists
Glide through the cacti and slit tender wrists.
I’ll keep waiting ‘till animals shrivel
And mountain tops decay.
I’ll keep waiting month after dwindling month,
After painful dying day.

Melissa Mendes' Freddy has dignity. She doesn't let the world tighten her shoulder strap. The Freddy dailies are something to behold. I drew this guest strip a few days ago. I probably shouldn't have made it so "weird," but I wanted to draw a blank-eyed taste so plum badly I could taste it all over. Freddy often has great moments where she is hugging various animals and humans and objects and I tried to clumsily pay homage to that. I originally drew this with colored pencils, but I got rid of the color on the computer because it looked all wrong. It looked like a young child colored in a Silly Symphony in the news-pape in 1933, and it faded in an abandoned sandbox hole for generations.

As I continue to post Chancellor Cop & Chancellor Dog panels, you will notice they are ruff and unpolished. I have not erased pencil lines or fixed mistakes or solidified the language. It seems right to put unfinished things on a blog, and I'm following that star. Scrips and scraps, that's what I believe in. Meanwhile I am finishing up things for way too many anthologies and I'm trying to stay calm and not lose it permanently. I refuse to lose faith in the kartoon image.
