ugh...

Tomorrow I go for Employment Assistance through the unemployment office. I'm not sure what it entails but I am guessing that whoever counsels me on my job search will do everything they can to crush my dreams of having another job I like.

OMG BREAKING NEWS!!

Quick, everyone! Breaking News on the Yahoo front page!
That is all.

Goodbye Cable

Since I lost my job last month, we've been looking at ways to get by on less money. Since having a child last year, we've already cut most of our non-essential spending. So, now we have to look at our monthly expenses and trim the fat. Of course my wife and I disagree on just what is fat. To her, cable TV qualifies as fat. To me, cable is right up there with ESSENTIAL items such as food, mortgage and oxygen.

Taking Up Space is back

Taking Up Space is back after a three month hiatus. Give me a week or so to shake off the rust.

 

Could YOU become Batman?

Could you become Batman? You know, if you stopped eating donuts and got off the computer long enough to train and stuff. Boing Boing has an interview with E. Paul Zehr who wrote a whole damned book (talk about desperate for movie tie in money) examining the science of becoming a super hero.

Also on Boing Boing, Boom! Studios is offering free downloads of its backlisted comics.

 

Comixtalk Cover

Look who graces this month's Comixtalk cover! I was pretty thrilled to be invited to draw the cover. The idea of pairing Penguin with Cookie Monster came from Comixtalk owner, Xerexes. I thought it was a great idea, provided I don't get a cease and desist from CTW. For those new to Comixtalk, you have to click 'view entire cover' to see the whole scene. I'll post the alternate version I was going to go with here tomorrow.

an ending

Friday's comic wraps up the current storyline. Check it out BEFORE reading the post below (which contains spoilers). If you want to start from the beginning, you can do so here.

Update and Baby v. Cat

The Wed. comic is now up. Don't miss Friday's conclusion to the storyline.

update

George Carlin died last night. He is the only comic I can think of with such a long career who REMAINED at the top of his game and actually got better with age. Wow. That's two surprising deaths of people who I admired for different reasons (the other being Tim Russert). I will miss the work of both men.

Friday's comic

Friday's comic is up, in case you are catching this via a blog feed and not on the site.

You won't want to miss next week's comics.
