Greystone Inn was my first daily comics strip, running from 2000-2005. Inspired by both Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Larry Sanders Show, it was a comic strip about a fictional syndicated comic strip called Greystone Inn. Like Roger Rabbit, Argus the gargoyle — and the other stars of the comic — were living, breathing cartoon characters who worked among humans. And, like Sanders, most of the storytelling took place behind the scenes.

If that’s the little girl feeding ducks, you’re in deep manure, bossy.
