One of the first reader e-mails I received told me: "Stop putting yourself down!"
Some seem think that my attitide is a put-on. It isn't. I look around and all I see is people whose abilities exceed mine by far.
The thing about drawing backgrounds is... I'd like to draw more of them and sometimes I do. Most times, however, they don't get inked.
At some point during the sketch or pencil stage, I suddenly realize that the background will only serve to clutter things up, so I leave them be.
The wife's complaint seems to have had an effect. (Are you wondering whether Andy will also get new clothes? At this point, so am I.)
Please, dear reader, let me know whether you like THIS IS ME. Criticism is also appreciated. It's feedback keeps me going. Feel free to e-mail me at <me AT thisisme-comic DOT com> (please replace AT and DOT with the corresponding characters, sorry about that hurdle).
