This is the homepage for Barry Deutsch, aka Ampersand. I'm a cartoonist, living in Portland, Oregon. This page contains a guide to some of my online comics.

First, there's my comic book Hereville, nominated for a 2008 Russ Manning Award! Whoo-hoo! Hereville updates with a new page every Wednesday.

Then there's my blog (mine along with a few co-authors, that is), Alas, a Blog. Lots of discussion of politics here, especially about "identity politics" issues.

I also do a political comic strip, "Ampersand," which is not currently available online. I'll be putting an archive online soon.

I've done other comics, as well - check out this archive of (some of) my past comics. There's also a portfolio of some of my commerical illustrations.

Oh, and if you're a beginning cartoonist, you may find this Guide to Making Comics I created years ago useful.

That's it! Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy my comics.
