So today I took a moment to drop in on some blogs that I haven't had much time to visit lately, what with the job and Scary-Crayon and my other pursuits (in the past few days I've finished reading The Zombie Survival Guide, read a few short stories, most of which sucked, and started writing another short story that I hope to finish either tonight or tomorrow). During the past few days, Caren wrote a lot more than she usually does, which is cool, since Caren and her musings are both pretty interesting. Kitzi's posting regularly again (told you you wouldn't be gone long :P). She apparently also liked Barack Obama's speech, which I thought was kinda lame, but then I think all political speeches are lame because they're aiming at a common denominator which (if I may say so myself) is decidedly beneath me. Why are you talking so slowly? Did you know that the entire time you spoke, the networks were flashing text beneath you that earmarked you as "the first black" this or your grandfather as "the first black" that, etc., etc.? Why are you talking about there being one America when during the majority of your speech you've been referring to people not by their names, but with emphasis on where they came from or the color of their skin and not who they are? Suck off, 'bama. Anon did a brief roundup of the blogs he reads. And (among others; hello to those of you I didn't mention!) Wendy outed herself as a survivor of sexual violence. (more...)

Today, we wish our old friend Megz a happy birthday. (more...)

It's up (and not early, as expected, but ah well): Scary-Crayon's Peanut Butter Banana Burrito Experiment. Enjoy!

For the record, the file info says I took the photos for this article back in February. Can that be right? Jeez. Goes to show you how backlogged on food pieces I've been. Not sure what the next article will be yet -- I might go for two food pieces in a row, but probably not -- but odds are I'll make that decision tomorrow. I've had a few ideas for actual comic strips, but I probably won't pen one in time for the next update, so I'm thinking it'll be a print review. It's been a while since we've done one of those, and I've got a bunch of interesting scans in the working folder. We'll see.

Be sure to try making your own PB Banana Burritos at home!

Sadly, no, but that's what I was thinking when I saw that the subject header of my latest e-mail was "DONATION...". Here's the fulltext of the message: (more...)
