Seen by tens of thousands each week, during its run, his over 300 cartoons depicted life in Alaska in all its glory and weirdness. His artwork has appeared on the cover of numerous newspapers, in special exhibitions and world-wide in magazines as far away as South Africa (which is really far when you consider he lives in Alaska). His comic strip was even the inspiration for a play, 'The Simple Dating System'. He continues to churn out comics and observations at yoursquarelife.blogspot.com.
