how do it feel updating & drawing all these comics?

I am guessing Jan aspires to be the next Bill Holbrook ("Safe Havens", Kevin & Kell", "On the Fastrack", etc). Holbrook creates three daily comic strips, two of which are newspaper syndicated strips.

In the case of "Vicki Fox", I do the writing, final edits, and web site management, while Jan does the great artwork. That splits some of the workload.
(Many, many thanks to Jan for helping me bring the comic strip back to life!)

koool
When Jan restarted the comic I went back & read it ALL!

I feel like Zephy is conspiring a way to retire early

Love the look of concentration! =^^=

Raccoons looking for brilliant things... that could be considered as stereotyoe encoursgement.

Raccoons washing things in the river... same deal.

thats why they are named wasch bär (washing bear) in german

What? I take a shower every day!

How to wasch a bar...

In french is "raton laveur", which can be translated like: "washer baby rat".

The reason for the raccoon couple is really boring and meaningless -- I wanted Jan to reuse some background characters from previous stories.

But, now that you mention the raccoon stereotypes, I am amused by the unplanned coincidences.

Hopefully Zephy figures out some responsibility from this.

I just KNEW Zephy seemed to be TOO eager to have this job. LOL.

panning is actually a lot of fun

Zephy doing actual work... (brain asplode).

Hmm, why do I get the feeling shell get oh so fired?

It would be really suprising if the gold flakes Zephy kept stealing would end up being fake.
