One Small Step

I forgot.

With my layoff and quick hiring (so quick I don’t have time for all my “things to do while looking for work” projects), and my May 1 birthday (a big one), I had forgotten May 1 is also the birthday of One Small Step. I started it on May 1 so I would always remember (that worked well). Doug and Qwerty have been in the minivan for four years now. I’m even earning some money from the strip! Some kind soul donated $5 for a wallpaper. That’s $1.25 a year! Say Yay!

Happy Birthday to me and OSS.

Years ago I had a beard. The kids didn’t see me clean shaven until they were about 6 and 4. I’ve lately grown it back as I got very lazy and shaving was just too much work. But I had forgotten about the itch factor and the fact that my lovely wife didn’t want to kiss me anymore made me reconsider. I’m trying the goatee. See for yourself below. I’ve gone from clean to bear-man to… I don’t know… average look for a web cartoonist, or alternate universe evil-Joe? You decide.
