I think I drew this three years ago for my friend Chris, who was writing a column called “Happy Trails” for the local newspaper at which he worked at the time. He still writes the column — though now it’s for his own newspaper, which he successfully owns and operates, which is pretty cool considering everyone thinks operating a newspaper in 2011 is as profitable as selling hourglass refill kits in the Sahara. Turns out, it’s still a pretty cool way to make a living.

(Synergy alert: I put together that newspaper’s website, which you can see by clicking here.)
