A couple of years ago, while developing some new characters for High Cotton, I created this 'icon' of Tim, nicknamed "T-Bone Dough". Though amused that it had no real 'commercial value', he got a big chuckle out of it. Mysteriously, it soon became his iBook's desktop wallpaper. It 'appeared'(and still does) in his Hardeeville office window and on the conference room wall. He never knew where it might appear next. As with all 'good humor' men, Tim laughed hardest at himself. Over the past eight years, Tim and I did a lot of laughing with and at each other.

Towards the end of his illness, I animated him winking and blinking. After posting it online and emailing I few of his friends, they've asked me to add it here.

So if you're missing Tim or things are not going so well, bring this up onscreen and brighten your day. As always, he'll be there for you. (Move your mouse over Tim and he'll wink at ya)
