It's Mah Birfday!!

Tomorrow will be my 30th birthday, making this my 15th anniversary of being in comics. I guess I've been doing this professionally for half my life now. Huh.

Anyway, to commemorate this joyous occasion I thought it might be fun to look back on some of the stuff I did from when I was a kid.

And yes this is a plea for birthday wishes. Feel free to leave them here or on Twitter ;)

Oh, and don't make fun of young Chris's drawings. He didn't know any better.

  5. Happy 30th, Chris! Those early drawings demonstrate that you had an eye for presentation, wit, and character from the very beginning. I hope you have a wonderful celebration and thanks for sticking with it all these years.
