I've been asked once or twice what I do to entertain myself during downtime on the internet. Well, I'm proud to say I am a reader of webcomics. This started four or five years ago, and now rarely a day goes by when I don't check my google feed to see if any of my favorites have updated. Before we begin, please allow me to share a few of my ( Read more... )

I am disappointed at the cartoons they're showing nowadays. My prime cartoon-watching years were only around a decade ago (although I do still watch many to this day), but I can't help feeling that I can't relate to this crap. Everything is crazy explosions and plots that make no sense or are full of holes. The whole situation appears to be ( Read more... )

Apparently it is important to have a tone in mind when designing your webcomic, to say nothing of a theme. Now that Ryn and I have settled on family pets, we must now decide on our tone. Will this be a humorous comic, with one-shot strips that do not relate to eachother (aka Dilbert or Calvin and Hobbes)? Or should we make it more storyline- ( Read more... )

The first step in designing your very own underground lair is to locate a suitable remote and deserted island. The key here is to choose a place that is near a civilized country, but far enough off-shore that you won't be seen by grinning cheeseheads in their yachts. If you are planning on long-term operations, it's also important to select a ( Read more... )

There have been documented cases of people going insane from learning too much science about where we come from or how we exist. If you feel that realizing that you are a collection of cooperative cells which are themselves made up basically of electrical charges will unhinge you, today's post is not for you ( Read more... )

Ryn and I took monday off, and we used the extra day to visit The Nana. We took the cats with us, and as soon as they were back in their old home everyone involved felt immensely better about their situation. Ernie went back to his old hiding tricks (although I discovered two of his most secret hiding places: In the open back of Nana's nightstand, ( Read more... )

No, J'aime, not Phallus ( Read more... )

Excellent news: After enduring months in a cell so small the penal system would object, Bert and Ernie are preparing to rejoin their beloved Nana. She has been worrying about their health (justifiably) and can no longer live without them, and so they have been summoned. This weekend we will be taking a little vacation to New Jersey to get out of ( Read more... )

... With a one hundred per-cent mortality rate.

Lately I have been reminded of how much I don't want to have kids, and how much I prefer cats. This notion reached actual conscious-thought potential this afternoon when I saw a clearly-unhappy J'aime hiding in her own kitchen from in-laws and their little childrens. So I actually started to think ( Read more... )
