Proud To Be An eBay Above Standard Seller cartoon

eBay recently invented several new classifications of sellers. The absolute best kind of eBay seller is called a "Top Seller". There are a variety of factors, but the key to being a "Top Seller" is to have fewer than 1 in 200 customers leave you a '1' or '2' in any Detailed Seller Rating (those star things).

The 2nd best seller on eBay is an "Above Standard Seller". Above Standard Sellers are fine sellers, but they might have missed the mark on a category here or there. For instance, if one buyer in 199 left them a "2" on a DSR category.

In recognition of the achievements of Above Standard Sellers, I designed a logo which they can proudly display wherever it's appropriate.

The image is royalty-free, so you can pass it around the internets and use it as you see fit.

UPDATE: Merchandise with this cartoon on it can be found here.

WHO WATCHES THE WATCHDUDE? - Happy Birthday cartoon for JEFFREY HESS

This cartoon was commissioned by the wife of Jeffrey Hess, a high-end vintage watch and antique art dealer. Hess is president of Ball Watch USA (reportedly, the company which the phrase 'on the ball' was based on). He is the author of an incredibly detailed and authoritative reference work on Rolex watches. On eBay alone, he sells about 10,000 items a year, many of them for thousands of dollars apiece.

What do you get someone like that for his birthday? Another watch? He'd throw it on the pile and sell it on eBay. So, his wife decided to turn him into a superhero. This comic strip was unveiled as a large poster for his big birthday bash October 2, and guests to the event wore t-shirts bearing the cartoon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEFFREY HESS! And if you want a follow-up for your anniversary or something, please let me know.

HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER MOVIE POSTER - eMoviePoster YouTube video

For the first time ever, one of my comic strips has been transformed into a YouTube video. The print version of the ad will be published in the next issue of Movie Collector's World. If there's a good reaction to this video, then it's possible that other comic strips will appear in video form as well.
