Drawing for Fun

I'm handling the writing on today's strip while Paul is out sick. Here's wishing him a speedy recovery.

A few months ago my wrist would be killing me after getting the strips done. I couldn't practice, do commissions, or even just doodle for fun. Thankfully, I was able to figure out a good set-up at my work station that rested my arm better and put much less strain on my wrist while drawing. I've also been adopting better drawing grips. Joel, who suffered similar wrist problems in the past, taught me some stretching and strengthening exercises that relieved a lot of the pain. That, coupled with the frequent breaks (good call, Dee), has allowed me to draw without straining myself anywhere near as bad as before. Yay for not destroying my drawing hand!

Will draw for monies! Interested in having me doodle something up for you? Want a unique Facebook avatar, desktop wallpaper, mock movie poster, or just a pretty picture of your favorite fictional female? Shoot me an e-mail (dave@squishycomics.com) with the subject line "draw for me", and just a brief description of what you're interested in. We can hammer out the details from there.
