  • 5 Money Saving Ideas For Holiday Shopping
    1. Pricing: Economics, these days can be a big factor. It is common sense that one can get a much better price on virtually any retail product in the "off-season" which runs generally from mid-May through the end of August. Prices can be as low as 80% of their regular prices (even regular discounted prices) than holidays at the mall.
  • The Zen Of Pregnancy
    I am a cartoonist but also am in the licensing image business; that is, manufacturers buy the rights to my cartoons and put them on products and sell them. It's a good clean business and educational for me. Last week, I opened an online maternity and infant wear shop. Since I have about 8500 cartoons on my main website, I am able to create niche stores, test them, and see how they work. Oddly enough, most of them work better in sales, percentage-wise, than my two superstores.
  • Safe Online Shopping Is Like Safe Sex: Common Sense
    How many more articles are going to be written on "safe internet shopping"? Well, here's one more. And its the basics.

  • On Becoming A Cartoonist
    Someone once told me there are two things to consider when thinking of becoming a cartoonist: 1. You must be funny and 2 You must know how to draw.
  • An Eastern Philosophy Look At Niche
    I remember business 101 the first time I went to college a millenium ago. Simplicity and thinking it through was the key. Those were business principles. Do they still hold true? There was no Ebay, Google, MSN, or Yahoo! at the time.
  • The Secret. What Would Jung, Aristotle, Jesus Or Moses Say?
    I fell in love with a former girlfriend for a whole new reason, that is, a different reason than when I'd had the one before her. It had nothing to do with looks, money, social standing, or anything like it. She had gone through a similar struggle as me, actually one much larger in scope, and not only survived but prospered as a major Beverly Hills Attorney. I, struggled as a writer and cartoonist for several decades, not such a dramatic story as hers, and finally "made it". People ask us often, "How did you do what you did"?
