Well, I'm two years behind the times, since I largely keep up with newspaper comic strips in reprinted book form (I'm such a hypocrite). I've known about this for about six months now, and this morning I did some research so I can have an informed opinion on the subject.

Probably my favorite current comic strip is Rose is Rose. The subject matter ( Read more... )

What are the haps my friends?

So, Thursday night, for reasons previously known to mankind, Scott McCloud, comics genius and theorist, was giving a speech at ACU. I couldn't figure out who at ACU would have an interest in that, but I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth, so the Hendersons and I left outta Abilene around 2:30 with our ( Read more... )

Ruth and Amy in the Optimist! A good picture of both, I think.

So, I have found out that there's this new Mickey Mouse show called Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It's Mickey and Donald and Goofy and everybody in an educational show for preschoolers. And they've been totally computer animated.

This begs the question, "How can you animate Mickey's ears in three dimensions?" Mickey's ears are based entirely on a ( Read more... )

So, I've been trying out this MySpace thing to see what it's about. I kind of like it, but to my knowledge not many of my friends keep up with it, although a couple do. So, if YOU do, gimme a comment to clue me in to a possible friending. Also, I didn't feel like that massive a copy-paste so my last post is there instead of here. I'll try not ( Read more... )

In conclusion, The Andy Griffith Show easily fits into the top 10 television programs of all time.

Hey everybody. I have just been reminded that I never update, so here's an update.

Everything's pretty much the same, although there are a couple of top-secret shake-ups coming around the corner.

I just got a MySpace account so I could comment on my brother's stuff. If you have a MySpace account, you can totally friend me. If history is any ( Read more... )

Wow. I never update. BUT..

I just found out that in Dinosaur Comics, you can hold your cursor still over the image to discover the equivalent of an artless 7th panel, often adding an additional level of humor to the already-clever humorous sequential art!

I also enjoy the link above the comic which uses the text of the second panel to link to a ( Read more... )

Today I decided to wear my Joe Cool shirt under my red pullover sweater. I decided it would be better than a plain white one for much the same reason I wore Ghostbusters Underoos when I was young enough that they made them in my size. There’s just something nice about my subconscious knowing that Snoopy is under my sweater (or Peter Venkmen on my ( Read more... )

[sister-in-law] Kathryn just went into labor! Kara's on her way over so we can go to the hospital!
