It feels like I've been sitting at this computer for hours... because I've been sitting at this computer for hours. But I've got alla this week's strips done, and that's a load offa my mind! The plot's reached a rolling boil, and brother (and sister), it's about to bubble outta the story pot in an earth-shattering climax that shall leave the noodles of narrative drying atop the range of the graphical-literary landscape for better than a week, before somebody finally gets up the gumption to clean the darned oven.

My very first original comic art Ebay auction continues apace --

Right here!

Two excitin' pages from "Hsu and Chan" issue 5. Pick 'em up cheap, and impress your one friend who actually knows what "Hsu and Chan" is!

I had dinner out, tonight, courtesy of my brother's fiancee's parents, at one of those restaurants where you're allowed to toss your peanut hulls in the floor. It was my first experience with such a place, though I'd heard of them in song and lore! The first few peanut shells you drop, you're looking around, like you're not sure if you're really gonna get away with it. You kinda give it a side shuffle, real close to the chair, where you can scuff 'em away with your foot if you get called on your misdeeds -- but a couple handfulls in, I tell you, mankind's natural tendency to litter kicks in, and your floorspace looks like you just had tea with Cookie Monster.

Nothing much else to report; the region's bout of intense coldness continues, and I recorded most of the "Monk" marathon on USA to view later...

Isn't it weird how the USA Network is, like, respectable, nowadays? Only a decade ago, you had stuff like USA's "Up All Night," which showed stuff like "The Toxic Avenger" and followed it up with a softcore movie with all the dirty parts cut out, and the daytime programming really only varied from the night stuff by about a half-star level. And nowadays, they're getting Peabodies and Emmys and Golden Globes, and that just stuns me, because for the life of me I can't figure out where the turning point was.

When did the USA Network outgrow Gilbert Gottfried?
