Recently I’ve been needing to do some drawing just to keep my head from exploding, so this week I figured, why not Mimi & Eunice? As far as I can tell, Mimi & Eunice are two middle-aged children/baby … [...] Remember this comic strip Stephen Hersh and I did for King Features Syndicate in 2002 – 2003? Well, we’re releasing ALL of them to EVERYONE under a Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike license! But this project needs your help.
