And the BUG goes on...

Here are pages 4, 5 and 6, for those of you who are counting, and sent them off last night. Very shortly it will be on the website, www.undercovercockroach.com. Check it out...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

And so it did. The snow began very early Tuesday morning. Lincoln Public Schools, after seeing the forecast Monday night, closed at 9:30 pm on Monday. The University of Nebraska closed yesterday at noon. I can tell you from first-hand knowledge that driving was a challenge, yesterday. Last night the "real" snow hit! We must have over a foot on the ground now. I was literally snowed in. My front door wouldn't open. (The photo of Joey at the front door — that was as far as it would open. Blocked by the snow.)
Thank goodness my very good neighbor, Rick, was outside scooping his walkway. He was kind enough to shovel my front stoop so I could open the door. From there we worked together to get our common walkway shoveled as well as our own front walks and the area in front of our garages. All the while wondering where the guys were who are supposed to be plowing our driveway and parking area.... They arrived as we finished. (They were most likely snowed in... HA!)
Here area few views from my little abode — something to give you an idea of how lovely it is here. The temperature is now 6 F above zero with a -14 F windchill.

While on vacation...

So what does Mike do while hanging out in Montana?


... work.

I'm outa here!

Off to Montana for a few days, visiting family, and threatening the trout in the Madison River.
Back soon.

The top image is the view from the deck. The bottom image is my aunt and uncle's home with a river running through it...

Currently in the works....

Enjoy.

I found this on the Star City blog...

Great stuff, huh?
Makes me wish I was a cartoonist. Don't know who did it, but its fun.

He loves to sneak through poop and slime....

For the past several months, I have been working with Shea Butler and Cheryl Cain on little project that has great potential. Shea approached me through our mutual friend, Sandy Veneziano, and asked if I would be interested in doing character development and illustrating a story that she and Cheryl wrote. After I read the script and wondered what kind of trouble I'd be getting in, I agreed to create UNDERCOVER COCKROACH, SECRET AGENT 69. I won't go into the slimy (and I do mean slimy) details here, but let me lead you to the website www.undercovercockroach.com. There all the grizzly details will spew forth and you will see why UC-SA69 will go where no other secret agent will go. A word of caution though — don't read the story if you've just had a big meal. (I can vouch...)

I'm having fun now!

What do you think of this...
