Are You Man Enough? |
Drawn in 2008, this is by far the most popular thing I've ever drawn. It's a short story about a young artist and his attempt to gain approval from his girlfriend's intimidating father.
It's "one funny minicomic," according to Whitney Matheson of USA Today's Pop Candy blog and it was named one of the top ten mini comics of 2008 by Shawn Hoke of Size Matters. It was included in a web-exhibit of comics curated by John Mitchell. |

| The Secret Thoughts of Harold Lawrence Windcrampe |
 |
A forty-eight page mini comic that follows the inner monologue of an incredibly self-absorbed fellow and his lonely quest for love. Drawn in 2008.
John Mitchell, curator of the dotComics web exhibit says "there's a little bit of Jules Feiffer in (McAndrew), as exhibited in his strip The Secret Thoughts of Harold Lawrence Windcrampe and its hilarious expression of romantic self-loathing." |
