This is the first collection of Frenetic Wanderings, a series of gag cartoons started in 1998 as an experiment to see if comics could be distributed online or sent directly by e-mail. It was also in some respects a retaliation against mainstream funnies since I personally found them to be bland and repetitive. Do not be too shocked if you come across a cartoon that possibly offends or uses sexual innuendo but otherwise Frenetic Wanderings really does not cross any borders that television sitcoms haven't already crossed. It almost seems that newspaper funnies are consistently behind the times and when a funny does appear on the printed page that uses modern humor it somehow becomes "controversial." I draw Frenetic Wanderings in order to display what I find makes me laugh, and subsequently from feedback I have received there are many others who share my offbeat and sometimes morbid sensibilities.

So with that said, please enjoy this first collection for what it is. The art is a bit raw in some places but so is the humor and I think you will find it refreshing.
