I'm sorry, but the comic for the week will be delayed until this weekend. UPDATE: And now it's up. So that's good! On another note, if you're in the Amherst, Mass. area, you may want to check out this concert on Sunday. My friend of fifteen-or-so years Andy Ward will be performing, and I made the flyer. I'm also probably going to be there, since I've never seen Andy in concert before! |

The new comic has a new font in the second panel. It's a new font I made, and it's free and available for download right now on this site. Right here on this page, way down at the bottom. I suppose I could have placed an anchor link down by it, but your scroll buttons work fine, don't they? Scroll buttons? You guys okay? |

Unless you watch Monk, the only live-action scripted TV series I follow with any interest, you probably aren't aware of who Stanley Kamel is. Maybe if he was a little more famous than that, his recent death would have gotten better treatment. Like, OMG! Some old, unpretty TV dude died! Nice work, Yahoo. |

It's April Fools' Day? Already? Looks like I have to come up with something... Okay, I got one! Let's see if you're fooled by this. *ahem* In a shocking turn of events, I have sold my website to a person or group that I have previously expressed nothing but disgust for. Even though this is extremely unlikely, it is the truth! The entire website will be taken down and replaced by something which I would never promote under normal circumstances. Well, how did I do? Were you "fooled"? I hope nobody else thought of that one first, otherwise I would end up looking like a complete hack. That would be bad! |

Here's hoping your St. Patrick's Day was a good one! As it just so happens, I have some Ireland-related news. In 2006, I drew a Dubmarine comic in which Fawn explains to Maxine that "leprechauns don't say 'ach du lieber'". Turns out, I was wrong about that. Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report (a show which used my original Kremlin font in their "Cold War Update" graphic sequence) is now hunting for buried Nazi gold in Germany, and his graphic for this segment includes a leprechaun Hitler who does in fact say "Ach du leiber!". Clearly, I cannot argue with Stephen Colbert. My apologies go to the audience for misleading them. I'll try to be more careful about this sort of thing in the future. |

So far, the 21st century is a depressing time to be a consumer. Those who should be courting us for our business now make it a business practice to let us know just how arrogant they really are. All praise is written off as kissing up and bootlicking, and everything else is "whining", no matter how constructive or insightful the remarks may be. Give someone a platform and they'll feel like followers are somehow owed to them as part of the deal, because they're the one with the soapbox and the rest of us filthy little cockroaches had better just shut up and go along for the ride. Oh, and give them your money pretty please. Recently, the only magazine I subscribe to (Newtype USA) had packed it in and decided to change not only its content, but its attitude as well. Now the first issue of the new Piq magazine has arrived, purporting to be a mag about ditching the mainstream (which is the 18-34 demographic's version of being "X-TREEEEM!"), all the while being packed to the gills with articles touting John Woo films, video games, and that new Terminator TV show. The resentment of the very people who they need to keep their magazine afloat is there, of course. Even the readers' mail section is called "The Whine and Cheese Party". Sorry, but count me out. If, at the target age of 25, I'm not hip and edgy enough to understand why people whose jobs depend on my money are perfect, then I had best retreat now. If I wasn't happy with the amount of abuse I receive in my day-to-day life, I'd just get a second job. |

AnimeBoston is coming up again! I plan to be somewhere in the crowd again, even though the characters in my comic may not have had the best time when they 'attended' last year. This was not a strike against the con, which was very entertaining and well-organized. I just wanted to clarify this in case there were any lingering beliefs that I was unhappy with my first "con" experience. The only real problem I had was of my own making: failing to pre-register and having to wait two hours standing in line to get in. I'm very much looking forward to being there again (now that I have already registered), but I don't think Daisy or any of her friends will be making the trek out to Boston this time around. |

The sketchbook page has a new feature: a series of 3-panel comic strips called "3koma". These are drawn completely free-hand with pen only, and come four to a page. Since it takes about 5-10 minutes for each strip, expect to see a lot more in the near future. So, there was no comic last week... here are 16 comics to make up for it! |
