A few weeks ago, I got to see Melanie sing in Colllinsville, CT- which reminded me of this old Green House comic (make the Woodstock connection?) . . . PLEASE don’t think we’re dissing Neil with this comic- we LOVE Neil Young. But, we’re cartoonists and look for any way to get a laugh. As […]
Our new Green House Business Cards are arriving today and I feel just like Steve Martin in “The Jerk,” with the phone book. . . like I’m going to be validated as an official cartoonist of a great Green comic strip as soon as the business cards arrive (Yes, I’m stalking, er, TRACKING them with […]
Apples! WE have so many wonderful orchards here in NW Connecticut- been eating the fruits of Applegate Farms in Canton, CT lately. . . so, here’s a little info on the goodness in this garden of Eden temptation. . .
I just broke into the Green & Blacks organic dark chocolate bar (70%). . . it’s 9:30 am. . . I had coffee earlier, my smoothie at 7 am, a few nuts and I’m sitting here staring at the computer trying to figure out what to write about that’s relevant to today’s strip. . . […]
“We can either wait for change to be imposed on us (by the ecology) – and so increase the risk of catastrophe – or we can make some difficult changes on our own terms, and so reclaim control of our destiny.” (pg 178, “Earth In The Balance” by Al Gore) I love this quote from […]
I’m always trying to find new ways to motivate myself. . . cleaning my desk, organizing my notes, rewriting a schedule, creating a little reward. . . and in the end, if it works, “Hallelujah!” If not, just get down to business. It’s Monday morning and I have big plans for the day and week […]
My daughter, Carly is a Taurus and this comic represents her to a Taurus “T.” She’s typically interested in things like Horoscopes, but the first one to call “BS” when she sees it. I used to like reading my horoscope (Scorpio) when I was younger. . . and I’m a believer in Astrology, but I […]
I’m not sure how the idea of writing each other’s bios came up. Perhaps it’s just that neither one of us likes talking about ourselves? Here it goes, Peter… if I go on too long, it’s just my way of getting even for your two-hour marathon phone calls… I first met Peter in New York […]
Thanks to Brad Gilchrist, I now have worms. Bad. And I’ve never been more appreciative. They’re sprawled all over my drafting table in comic superhero fashion. Really. I’m a sucker for a great super hero whether it be of the human or wriggly kind, because they remind me that we all have our own unique […]
INTENTION and How To Find YOUR Authentic Self & Spiritual Path in a Comic Strip. . . That one little moment. . . when you peek out from under the covers, see a tiny ray of light shining through the curtain, and something awakens deep within you. . . that awakens the whole of you […]
Is it just me? I find I cry at almost any movie or slightly sentimental moment lately. I am emotional with song lyrics. I smile at the smiley moments of almost every Facebook post or happy Youtube video. . . My nephew was asking me about my most emotional movies and I basically said, “all […]
“Pick up these vegetables, please”, she said. But I knew her words I’d soon forget, So I pictured the vegetables on my head. Where they’ll stay till I reach the Green Mark-et. Then one by one, I’ll take them down. And pick out a match with discerning care, In a few short ticks I’d have […]
This week we introduce Mantis. He’s our sensei, our outspoken guru and leader on spiritual matters at the Green House. The term “sensei” generally implies “teacher,” and that’s the role he plays for Wormy. Wormy has a million questions and it takes spirituality, patience and a sense of humor to be his teacher. . . […]
I set up a couple Worm Composters last summer. . . one of the large, multi-tray composters and one small portable one for doing classroom lectures. They’re both doing great and the worms seem happy. . . eating away. Coffee grounds are supposed to be a great “snack” for the worms- as it’s listed in […]
Finding out what’s actually in your food is not a trivial pursuit. . . is High Fructose Corn Syrup the silent killer in our food? Is it the fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse? The actual fourth horseman of our impending demise is Famine. You could say that if you’re eating something with HFCS in it, […]
Nothing quite like the first spring breeze, the sun shining on your leaves and the warmth on your soil. Water me, set me outside and watch me grow. If it’s a bright, beautiful day where you are, don’t forget your fine fronded friends. . . they’ve had a looong winter too!

I found this comic from 2007 where we reference “Girls Gone Wild” and one of my favorite shows, “Living With Ed.” Personally, I’m so happy that the “GGW” thing is in our past. . . it always pissed me off how these people were using young women and denegrading them. . . we’re all young […]
I listen to all kinds of stuff on the radio, NPR (mostly), Red Sox Games, Rock Stations, Country Stations, Clark Howard, Late-night weirdness on Coast To Coast with George Noory. . . and yes, sometimes Rush Limbaugh. I like to hear everybody’s opinion because it’s all about balance for me. . . I have my […]

In the creative moment, there’s one side of me that wants to check out mentally and meditate . . . and there’s the other side that is struggling to create the piece, whether it’s writing, art or any project. Finding the balance is the key- and for me, I’ve always been able to find the […]
