the science project #57

This episode was drawn in November when the big TSA pat down scare started. I know the publication of this comic is more than a little late, but I've never been known to be punctual. Just ask my ex-girlfriend. Thankfully, the TSA is still known for "aggressive pat downs", so it still plays. I hope you all enjoy both the comic and your pat downs.

Cheers.

The Dregs Turns 50 (episodes)!!!

Hello, dear friends. It seems just like yesterday when my first comic, The Science Project, turned 50 (episodes) and now my second group of misfits, The Dregs, have reached this milestone. As I'm sure my mother will say when I finally get married and have kids, I never thought I'd live long enough to see the day.

As I write this, I look back over the course of the past 50 episodes and I see how Sal, Peg, and Onions have grown up - their look, voice, etc. Even I grew up while drawing this comic and I'm truly proud of how everything has turned out. If you get the time, take a walk down memory lane and remember some funny, and not so funny, moments. Hopefully, there will be more of the prior than the latter.

All nostalgia aside, this episode is basically a play on the "I like my coffee like I like my women" comment. Adam, customer of mine, came up with the "cold and bitter" bit and I had to use it because it fit so well, but it took a bit of messing around to get the joke to play. I think it works well.

Cheers!

Johnny
