Dear commuters:

Please take the time to wash your hair before boarding the buses -- preferably with dandruff control shampoo -- as I don't appreciate you sitting in front of me, leaning your heads back as far as you can, and powdering my lap anew with off-white scalp flakes every time the bus lurches into motion after stopping for whatever reason. It's revolting and unsanitary.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Been a while since we had one of these! Gacked from Dee. 🙂

Dude, what's up with the spelling and grammar on that image? I hope "indepentence" is a virtue. Speaking of which, it's "Indepentence" Day weekend! I plan on posting, but if I don't show for whatever reason, have a happy 4th of July. Why do we word things like that, anyway? Have a bloody happy 4th whether I'm around or not. 😛

Hey all. Sorry if anyone was worried -- I've just been pretty busy and exhausted and stuff these past few days. Hopefully the upcoming three day weekend will give me a chance to recuperate. But for those of you who were actually concerned, thanks. Here's a random drawing for your trouble:

So, what's new? Well, the Scary-Crayon blog isn't up yet (maybe this weekend?), but the site's been updated with Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #45. It's based on recent events happening down in Florida! See, I read more than just the horoscopes and Pearls Before Swine in the newspaper on occasion.

Speaking of newspapers, a couple of the local ones around here started printing a game called Sudoku, which I'm not going to explain but which you could probably find out about from a simple google search. Apparently it's all the rage, but I don't get why folks are so excited. Yeah, it's more fun and accessible than crossword puzzles, but it's way simple! I guess it's a neat little thing to do in the morning while one sips one's morning coffee and shovels soggy corn flakes into one's mouth (not me, though; I don't have time for that in the mornings, but I'll probably start doing the puzzles when I get into the office in the morning), but I'm not dancing in the streets or writing in to praise the game and I wouldn't cry if they took it away.

It's fucking late and I should probably get some sleep.

Argh! What will I do?
The hunger is upon me!
And I have no chips. 🙁

Okay! Given that the last time I did this was way back in November (in addition to this entry a couple of days earlier), I figured it was time for more BLOGGERS BY WES. If I remember correctly, Phil made a comment to the effect of "I guess Wes only draws female bloggers!" -- so this time, to prove him oh-so wrong, the cast is all male. I will say, however, that (generally speaking) drawing women in this style is or at least can be slightly easier. Facial features are more/less ignored -- though sometimes I try and approximate the shape of the face -- so I have to rely on other things to make a drawing look like the person in question.

Usually it comes down to hair and props -- and men tend to have more boring and less identifiable hairstyles. So props take on a much greater role. But men don't tend to accessorize! So that complicates things. Clothing would also be very helpful -- and it is with cartoon characters, who (have you noticed?) tend to wear the exact same goddamned thing every time they appear, and can therefore be easily identified by outfit alone, but real people tend to like variety in their wardrobes (not me, though; I dream of a closet filled with little black shirts and pairs of black jeans, with maybe a few pairs of black leather pants). Anyway, let's get to the drawings. See if you can guess who's who! (more...)
