There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
I’ll say this for Halloween. It makes it hard to blog when the kiddies keep ringing the doorbell. In our neighborhood they tend to bus them in by the vanload (I suppose that would be vanning them in, but I digress.) Sarah bought the latest gross incarnation of the gummy line, the [...]
Have you assembled the various components of your haloween costume? Are you looking for a way to inject a little seasonal spookiness to those little candy grubbin’ rug rats? Why not give them a Jack Chick Tract?
I can think of nothing scarier…(or more poorly executed.)
Yet another reason why I’m a fan of Mike Nelson. (He also did one for the opposing team, but this one was funnier)
Tonight Sarah and I hung out in Barnes & Noble. She read for class while I deployed my new favorite accessory: My Mokeskine sketchbook. I’ve found that it’s much easier to keep from being spotted sketching people when using it, maybe because it’s not really obvious that I have a book in [...]
A few years ago I was in Barnes & Noble when I stumbled across a small, pocket-sized sketchbook. I’m generally not one for small sketchbooks, but this one seemed kind of cool. I bought it, drew in it a couple times, and then it was misplaced (in a junk drawer) and I forgot [...]
This breaks my rule of not posting images larger than the black background on the webpage, but I liked this week’s Fanboy Almanac…mostly because I got to include Count Chocula and The Count.
Happy week before Halloween.
-I was up at 7:30 this morning after a teacher called to see if I could sub on Friday. Fortunately, I’m working, so the answer was no. Serving coffee is 5000 times less stressful than telling kids to do their busy work.
-I’m preparing myself to get on board the Lost train. [...]
I have sworn that if someone successfully campaigns to get Leonard Nimoy to star on Gilmore Girls as Luke’s dad (and be best friends with Kirk), I will not only watch all previous seasons, but I will draw Gilmore Girls fan art.
Speaking of art…
This is the pre-lettered first page to the colorized GravyBoy Issue 1 [...]
Here’s a life tip. Three hour naps late in the afternoon will screw up your sleep schedule. And by “you” I mean “me.”
After laying in bed for a few hours, I got up to watch a little mindless late night TV hoping that would force me into unconsciousness. An [...]
I am glad to inform you that this weekend has been maggot-free. As all weekends should be. Unless you work on a maggot farm. But then, you should take the weekends off too. What are you, obsessed?
So far the first week of the new job has been pretty good. No [...]
the color version of GravyBoy will be available or ordering from your local comic shop sometime around the January/February timeframe.
when I give you the signal…go to a comic shop…and tell them you want it…and they should carry it.
do it.
Sometime, among the changing leaves and cool gray mornings, a for sale sign appeared at the two story mystery house three houses down from ours. I’ve written about the mystery house before. In the six years we’ve lived here, I’ve probably seen the lady, and her daughter, 6 times. Her van just [...]
What the…
I went by to see my grandma today. She’s just turned 90, and is living at a nursing home in the same room as her sister-in-law, who has Alzhiemers. Grandma has been pretty with it, but every once in a while she would get confused during a conversation…but you’d correct her and move [...]
Today I learned about the best ways to store coffee. Sunlight, for example, kills coffee. My trainer said she didn’t know of anyone who would possibly store their coffee in sunlight. I think hobos would.
Today I learned it’s hard for me to articulate smells and tastes. The Komodo Dragon blend at Starbucks, for example, makes me think of the wood panelling in my parent’s den. This is completely unhelpful in trying to describe a flavor to someone else. I mean, I’m the guy who would describe [...]
To clarify, the maggots were at my mom’s house. Her freezer had gone kaput over the summer…only she just found out about it last week. Needless to say, there were maggots. My brother and I had to clean it out and get it to the curb to be picked up. Hence [...]
Today my lovely wife and I ventured into Target to find some new shirts that I can go to work in. While browsing through the sporting goods section (a detour, obviously) I saw what appeared to be a 16 or 17 year old kid stop in front of the propane tanks, pick up a [...]
I would love to write a witty diatribe on what my day held. Unfortunately, I have an assignement do in about 3 hours for an online class I’m taking, and I suppose I should do it. So, I’ll just give you the readers digest version:
Cleaned.
Maggots.
Sterilized my mom’s driveway.
Did I [...]
My presentation at the elementary school went really well. I like elementary school kids. They’re very excited and wave to you when you’re in the hall. As a thank you for coming, they gave me a very nice potted mum plant. Our porch is very festive now.
As I type this, I’m [...]
