My late Grandfather, who inspired me to be a cartoonist. When I was growing up,
he'd come to visit each week. He'd draw comics for me, I'd draw comics for him,
and we'd exchange. His favorite strips were ones like The Katzenjammer Kids
and Pogo. Especially Pogo. My favorites were the ones drawn by him.
For as long as I can remember, and to this day, I haven't drawn a single thing without
wondering if he'd like it. I never would have fallen in love with cartooning if
it weren't for him. See you in the funny papers, Grampa. |

Maureen, Zack & Nate
|
My wife and sons. Just as my Grandfather is the reason I draw cartoons, these
three are the reason I wake up every morning. And I don't mean that in a mushy
way. I mean it literally. They won't let me sleep in. |
Gavin Chafin
& Steve Wood
|
The creators of Down To Earth.
Wholly and directly responsible for introducing me to the world of Online Comics. |

Dr. Arthur Barlow
|
Faculty advisor for The Clarion Call, my college newspaper, where my first
published comic strip appeared. Dr. Barlow was a great encouragement to me, really
supporting my cartooning as I struggled to find a voice and a style. His encouragement
was important, because that strip really sucked.

All the great friends I've made online
|
I've met a lot of people since bringing Chopping Block to the little screen.
Virtually, anyway. My fellow cartoonists, the lunatics who frequent my message board,
and everyone who reads and enjoys CB. Thanks for continually pushing me
to keep the quality of this comic as high as I can.
