Man Cup


The "Man Cup" is one of my favorites! A friend of mine, Alan, asked me to make a man cup. One that I could sell in the Get A Grip Store. So I thought about it for quite a long time. Then one night it hit me. An athletic cup is considered a "man cup" so why not draw one and stick it on a real coffee cup? I laughed for quite a few days over this discovery. So, I drew the athletic cup and put it in the old Get A Grip Store. I decided to draw it as a cartoon to see what kind of feedback I would receive from my readers. Well, 'String Bikini Lovin' Ron loved it so much that I decided to resurrect my store so that he (and anyone else) could purchase this unique coffee mug or shot glass or flask. If you're interested in purchasing the man cup or just want to look around the Get A Grip Store, please click on the Get A Grip Store link to your right. Thanks!

Sugar Crack


Good Morning! I've decided to do things a little differently with my strip. I'm branching out from the single panel Gag's to a multi-panel strip with a story line. I will still do some singe panels, but I want to see if doing a strip with a story line will make it easier to bring in new characters and incorporate the alter-egos. I'm trying the black and white, but may go back to color. Let me know what ya think.

The story behind Sugar Crack:
There's this really addictive game that I started playing on Facebook called, Candy Crush. I ignored the requests to play from my friends for a few months just as I had ignored requests to join Facebook. I caved and became Frannie FaceCrack. We'll see what happens with  Sugar Crack?! Stay Tooned ;-)

She's A Keeper




Justin and I had hung out with mutual friends for about a year before we started dating. This cartoon captures the moment when we realized there was a mutual attraction between us. I had been dating someone for a while so neither one of us acknowledged our attraction to other. On this particular day, Justin found out that I was no longer dating the 'other guy'. I had been baiting the line for a few weeks, but he wouldn't bite! Then I found out he was going on a blind date the following night and decided it was time for me to bust out the BIG guns and Beers. I was very blunt and to the point that day, but it worked! I caught him! Hook, line, and sinker! Needless to say, he never went on that blind date :)
