This was a weekly comic strip that chronicled the adventures of Horatio Algiers, and friends, as they battled the insanity of the Amalgamated Regions Postal Service. It is now retired!

Snail Mail (Alt Version)
I wrote an alternative version to this weeks strip. It's the exact same gag, but with the added dynamic that actual dialogue provides.
Additional Comment: I didn't mention it previously, but the slowness of traditional mailing has been a subject of comic strip jokes for years. Inevitably the snail is used as a replacement for the USPS's proud eagle logo. Because it was tired, I had to make my own. Perhaps I did it for the same reason every comedian has their own version of the Aristocrats. However, unlike the Aristocrats, I think I came up with something familiar yet unique.

Snail Mail
Okay, admittedly this was an experimental narrative. It was inspired by Sergio Aragones, the creator of Groo and long time contributor to Mad Magazine.

The Problem With Pigeons
I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but these characters are named Short Terrorist and T&T Ali. I thought you should know.

Horatio may be late!
Sorry folks. Horatio may be late this week. Check back by FRIDAY for sure! I've been ill off and on and have had a very sore back ache (which has interfered with my sleep). In the meantime, I hope this will tide you over. It won't, but I can hope. It's my, and Horatio's, different world selves mixed and matched.

Duck Playing Poker pt. 2
My first and, perhaps, last "Sunday" strip. It's a lot more work, but perhaps necessary if I want portray a lot of detail. Like it? Hate it? Sometimes? Always? Never?
