Today, Rees still posts new installments to his personal website on a weekly basis alongside a few other comics he’d started working on in the pre-Sept. 11 world. “Professional crisis” or not, Rees has been hugely successful for an independent cartoonist, and once his flagship strip became syndicated, published, and distributed nationwide, he was finally making a living...
