Who are you?

I'm an artist, software designer and generally an introspective guy. I grew up on a hay farm in rural Missouri and I've lived in Portland, Oregon since 2003.

Have you ever written a comic strip before?

I wrote my first comic strip in 6th grade. It was about my cat, Jeremy, and his experience as an elementary school teacher. It was very popular in the teacher's lounge. That was a while ago, and I'm back on the horse.

Who the heck is Fetal Squirrel?

That's a question that he's trying to answer for himself. He's exploring the world in search of adventure in the hopes of figuring out who he is. He's kind. He's squishy. He'd make a great friend. His two best friends are Mr. Snowman and Wheelie Rat.

Where did the idea for Fetal Squirrel come from?

One day I doodled him while brainstorming on a white board. I further explored the character while I attended the Pacific Northwest College of Art. Recently, after reading Steven Pressfield's The War of Art, I decided to make Fetal Squirrel into a comic strip.

How often is Fetal Squirrel published?

Every Monday at 12:00 am Pacific Time.
