Toilet Paper Book Cover

I'm doing a series of Facebook Live drawing classes for the JCC of Greater Boston (Tuesdays at 9:30am ET), where I help kids learn to create characters using describing words.

In preparation for one of the classes (and in consideration of the Covid-19 pandemic currently in progress) I drew a TP Man who I liked enough that I wanted to finish the drawing. Well, once I got started I decided to turn the illustration into a book cover.

I hand lettered the title, and then like a high school student pulling a prank, I TPed the word "The".



Update: I turned this into an origin story! You can read the entire origin on my comics website: edfrednedcomics.com

Pancakes on Groundhog Day

I made pancakes for the kids this morning, and this is what I ended up doing.


Groundhog Day 2020!

It looks like Punxsutawney Phil’s shadow is a no-show this year, which means an early spring is predicted!

Great job Phil- your mom is so proud of you (see below)!


Thanks for looking and sharing- I appreciate it!

Super Groundhog Bowl Sunday

It had to happen sometime.

This year, Super Bowl LIV falls on Groundhog Day! That's right, the biggest weather-related holiday of the year, has to share some of the spotlight with the biggest football game of the year. What are the chances??

Fear not, for I am prepared. To get everyone excited for the big day- and also for the football game- I cooked up a drawing to commemorate the mashup.

Tomorrow morning I'll be posting my 2020 Groundhog Day tribute, and I'd love to hear what you think!

The Wheel- A Short, True Comic Story

I created this comic while working on a graphic novel. It's a true story about how my daughter had to remind me multiple times about a wheel that had broken off the rolling case that holds her legos. By the end of the week, her patience had worn quite thin...
