The internets are a dark, scary place. Like the basement of your third cousin who never married.

B.A. in Literature and a Masters in Disguise
Poor MacGuffin. He’ll probably never be the same.
Literary chaos
Happy Friday the 13th. Unless your dog was rear ended by a car. Of course.

The man behind the mummy
The mystery author revealed. SHOCKING. WHO CAN THIS STRANGER BE?
Apparently Chester now wears shirts. I didn’t know myself to be honest. I was as surprised as anyone. Funny how your own characters can surprise you. Should be interesting to see how his fashion sense develops.
Valentines for that special someone
Looooooooooooove…exciting and neeeeeeeeeeew. Or something.
Valentine’s Day is upon us, whether you like it or not. It may possibly be a more polarizing holiday than Christmas, evoking some intense emotions on all steps of the scale. I suspect even Eros approaches mid February with trepidation these days. But you can bet he doesn’t forget to bring home Psyche a card and box of candy, ’cause ain’t no immortal need that stress am I right?
Irresolute resolution unresolved
Sometimes being right is the worst thing.
What are YOU thankful for?
I’m thankful this 10 year old scanner still works. Also family.
Happy Thanksgiving.
TO BECOME A LEGEND. Or a cautionary tale. Or both.
It’s a melancholy time of year. The leaves are falling, winter is coming, and it’s almost time to put the cinderblocks away for another year. Makes one think. About…things….or something. This is not as nostalgically investing as I thought.
But remember – if you’re going to do it….do it for Johnny.
Motivation inundation
As all great coaches know, motivation is key. Whether the team wants it or not.
On a more focused note, playing with the layout is something I continually try to do with the strip. Finding a balance between a stable panel layout and trying out something out of the ordinary that helps make things more visually interesting. For some a straight grid works because I feel it guides the story and lets the characters almost ‘animate’ through the panels based on the consistency. Still when that goes on for a few strips it’s time to break the thing and see what happens. Good or bad.
Or so I think.
Glorbification
‘Not with a bang but a glorb.”
Someday if/when someone analyzes this and speaks of social commentary, I plan to just go along with it. “Yes yes totally meant that. I’m all about metaphors.”
I would think while re-creating dinosaurs and making apes servants have their inherent dangers, it would be bringing back a species we made extinct that is the real threat. Clearly they would have a very biased opinion of how to make things Right.
Ostensibly overheard
Actors and tractors.
