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, which has been on hiatus for a while, but I've recently restarted it. 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.

There's my political comic strip, Ampersand, which is updated once every two months. If you've never read it, check it out - there are a couple hundred strips in the archives. (Thanks to Zmag.org for hosting the archive!)

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.
