Hello, how are you? It’s been a hot minute since we’ve visited. I mean that literally. I live in the North Central chunk of the United States and we’re currently on fire or fire adjacent. I am in no danger but I have a child who is considering heading north to lend a hand. I kind of hope he does.

Speaking of fires, I remember that about this time last year I considered pushing hard on editorial cartooning. It was a good exercise and I think that had I not gotten side tracked I would have done well. I’m also a little happy that I did get off track. I think I’ve dedicated enough of my unpaid time to the current level of wacky that I can.

I do love this rejected New Yorker comic though.

The Comics:

Friday Fog: It’s not a surprise, just a fog, an iceberg, and a really good attitude about all of it. What song are YOU playing on the sinking ship right now?

Earth Paint: one small tube of lipstick standing between them and a perfect human disguise. If aliens tried to blend in using only one human product, what would actually work?

Room for more: turns out the one place that never has a waitlist is the one place you don’t want to get into.

This one started slightly different but I pulled my punch. I’m okay with that but I kind of wish I hadn’t. I just didn’t have the energy to talk to people while drawing it so I made it too vague.

What I’m Reading/Doing:

Still reading through the dungeon crawler carl books but I’m ready for a series to switch to. I’m thinking about a visit to some old favorites.

Any suggestions?

I’m writing this on Thursday and there is no official Friday comic this week. I am traveling this weekend to attend a nerd fest that I haven’t been to in years.

I started planning this before I knew that most of the old crowd I remember doesn’t go anymore. That’s okay, I’m traveling with my son and he loves to be part of the costumes. I will also be dressing up this year…. kind of.

I have picked out all the things from my clothing that might double as a costume for an old fat guy. I have costumes for “Skipper, Mario, and Cobra Trooper on vacation”. Plus I packed a few of what I think of as “fun drinking shirts”. They count as costumes because I barely drink but drunk people love to tell me about them.

The Comics:

Turns out interstellar diplomacy is easy. It’s the family recipe that’s classified. If aliens showed up and asked for your family recipe, would you fight for it too?

We used to be the professionals but now everyone is a professional.

The Archives:

It’s always that other guy who makes work tough and not the fact that we’re working on some pro level procrastination.

What I’m Reading/Doing:

I am working on a wooden carved flag that I will be putting up for auction. Proceeds got to support the local Legion Post

Hello there new and old subscribers! We are dangling in front of 100 subscribers and I’m excited for it.

Thanks for your help.

This week has actually been filled with more sawdust than ink.

I’m working on a wooden American flag as an auction piece for my local legion post. My new favorite tool might be a 60 grit flap disk.

With that let’s just jump into the comics this week and talk about holidays next week.

The Comics:

A four-panel black-and-white comic where Scott enthusiastically makes the case for being a little crazy. Let people think you drink from the “Ha Ha Hose,” repeating that one funny thing, and having something that just makes you sit and giggle.

Not sure everyone got this one but I could use extra legs sometimes when mine misbehave.

Those spawn comics seemed like a good investment at the time. Seriously though there’s an art to being broke but not poor. It’s a very fine line to walk sometimes.

What I’m Reading/Doing:

There is a local Mural celebration happening near my town. It’s hosted by the Walldogs. They are doing FANTASTIC work and I even got a chance to fanboy over a traveling artist (hotrodjen) I have followed on the socials.
