Then I scan them and move them around in Photoshop and add the text (X-files font, I believe, which is a screwed-up typewriter font yet more legible than some of that ilk). Then I post the resulting strips to Raising Hell (the more realistic ones, situations more or less lifted from my life) and here (some realistic, some fictional). Then, if people laugh, I make t-shirts out of them at cafepress and try to flog them here. They have a rubbery feel to them, I hear, by the way, if you’re into that. The good thing about cafepress is *zero overhead*. The bad thing is, with all the post and handling charges they charge, and the big bite they take, I set prices relatively low to keep from totally ripping people off, at $2 over what cafepress charges, meaning someone buying a shirt pays, say, $16.99 plus shipping, and I get $2 of that. But I’m not complaining, zero overhead, like I said, and you can set up a store in 15 seconds.

Overall, it’s a very romantic, creative process.

but you know people will assume they’re metaphors for you and your family?
quite Kafka-esque…
