The Roots of Suspicion

And how to spot your perfect soul mate.

Today’s comic is loosely based on an actual event. It’s also a salute to my beautiful wife on her birthday. However thanks to suggestions from the wonderful Mike Gerber, I amped up the Hitchcockian weirdness for humor’s sake. When I told my wife, Deb, what I planned for this comic, she laughed and agreed to be the bête noire of the story.

That’s how I know that Deb is my perfect soul mate. She’s always there whenever I need advice, support, or, as is the case most of the time, a great comic foil.

Between her and my dog, Zeke, I have an endless well-spring of humor to keep me inspired.

Yes, Like I said, this was based one a true event. Deb decided to color her hair on a visit to the coast and left a motel bathroom looking like a crime scene.

While the motel supplied our room with a several days’ worth of bath linens, at least Deb kindly left me one small towel and a wash cloth, which wasn’t stained blood red .

Now that’s true love.

Stinky Pete News!

If any of you live near Vancouver, WA, you can now buy or order the expanded 92 page edition of my book “The Ballad of Stinky Pete - Manifesto Calypso Combo Edition” at White Oak Books in downtown Vancouver! The owners are exceptionally spectacular and I really look forward to working with them to promote this book. I’ll also be dropping off swag for them to give out to book buyers!

Now I only need a few hundred more stores like White Oak to carry my book and then I’ll be able to keep Deb well supplied in Blood Red hair color!

Cheers,

Ed
