WALNUTS featuring Good Ol' Stephen Hersh

Stephen and Eric at the thinking wall in a Peanuts parody

In December of 2024, Stephen told me about a recent struggle he had trying to provide customer service on the phone for his mold remediation business. When I began trying to draw our conversation as a comic, I had the idea to draw us as Peanuts characters, talking at the iconic thinking wall - a place of connection, contemplation, and ultimately hope. This also gave me the opportunity to name our parody comic “Walnuts” (which felt perfect since a walnut looks like a brain) as well as to modify the comics classic subtitle (which also felt perfect since that’s who he is to me - good ol’ Stephen Hersh!) ENJOY! And HNY!
