So I drew this guy waaaay back in December while I was still working at PGCC and didn't get around to coloring him until sometime in February -- I'd all but forgotten about the pic until tOkKa sent over that cool Triceraton button for SC. Anyway, here's a Triceraton, Wes style! (more...)

Two new comics today! Well, at least one. Depending upon the time of your last visit and whether or not you clicked the preview link, you may already have seen Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #35. So what's new? A Dusty Plastic HELL Easter Hot Flash, that's what! ENJOY, and HAPPY EASTER!!!

Also, this will be one of my last posts to this blog (not the last post, so don't abandon this place just yet!), as Wesoteric is like a few images away from being ready! And I could of course always just start posting to it and continue to tweak the layout as I go along. But yeah, it won't be long now. I really thought this was going to take a lot of time when I started, but now? I expect to be posting over there by tomorrow, which will mean I got this thing together in a week. w00t!

Anyway, check out Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #35 and that Easter Hot Flash! Ja!

Well, I made a lot more headway with Wesoteric than I expected to this past week -- the site's almost ready to go live. New colors have been selected; a header graphic has been created. Fun fun. All that remains is to add some stuff to the sidebar and add a quote of some sort to the main content bar, and of course import of all of my Blogger posts, and we'll be set! It's kinda funny how on Monday I was complaining about the impossibility of all of this stuff and now I've pretty much got it covered. I've learned a lot about browser behavior (at least Mozilla and IE) where CSS rules are concerned -- enough, I think, to conceivably convert SC to a table-free layout, but I'm not going to do that anytime soon because I'm still quite satisfied with the way it looks now and I see no need to go changing a bunch of code just to get it to look exactly the same way it looks now. But if/when I decide to do a new layout for it, I'm game for a CSS layout. (more...)

Blog readers already saw it, but Dusty Plastic HELL: Hot Flash #34 is now officially posted on SC. If you didn't see it yet, enjoy!

And for those of you interested in the progress of my new personal site/blog, feel free to give it a look now. With the exception of the placeholder for the header graphic and the text colors, that's pretty much the layout it's going to have. Joy! Additional improvements include the addition of a pulldown blogroll (if you're not on there yet, fret not -- I only posted a few off the top of my head for the purpose of testing the list's functionality) and a couple of reaaalllly old posts I dug up from my previous blogs and posted for good measure. I'll probably be posting more of the old ones in the future! Behold the evolution of the Wes.

Ja!

Thought I'd weigh in on the Schiavo case -- briefly, because I don't have a whole lot to say about it. Let me start by saying that until very recently (like, last night), I knew next to nothing about the case. I'm usually at work or asleep when the news is on, and when I'm in the house I'm generally at my computer doing something or other for Scary-Crayon. I wouldn't even have known about the case at all were I not a fairly regular reader of Dawn's blog, but of course the information one gets there is highly biased. Some things mentioned with respect to the case are flat out untrue; others are intentionally misleading and downright strange (there was a very cruel letter to Terri, supposedly penned by Michael Schiavo but actually written by Dawn's mother -- I still haven't been able to figure out the purpose of that, given that this "satire" appears to be lacking in satirical value). So first things first: before you bother forming an opinion about the case and getting all emotional, get the facts first, because there are some really important ones that you're probably not hearing.
