Every year for the past… well, every year in my career as a webcomicker I’ve taken my annual winter break. I take a week off from posting comics to enjoy the holiday season and spend time with my family and friends. I did it through most if not all the holiday seasons for the Oracle … Continue reading “Working Through the Holidays”
I got new glasses this week. Normally I wouldn’t dedicate an entire blog post to something as mundane and uninteresting as getting a new pair of glasses, but this is a little different for me. For years now I’ve worn thin wire-frame glasses with long rectangular lenses. Just plain black frames. They weren’t flashy. They … Continue reading “New Glasses”
The last few Christmas seasons I’ve been blessed with a “holiday budget” from my family, which I can use to treat myself to gifts. My immediate family all live hours away from us in another state, so this is their way of being involved in the spirit of holiday giving without having to ship presents … Continue reading “The Cool Uncle”
In case you missed the announcement on Monday (and I hope you didn’t, because it was plastered all over the front page) I’m having a HOLIDAY SALE! I spoke last week about how this time of year turns small businesses and independent creators like yours truly into walking commercials, and that time has come. So … Continue reading “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”
Thanksgiving is coming up this week for those of us here in the United States, and while Thursday is a day of feasting and togetherness with family, the very next day signals a shift in the holiday season. Most call it Black Friday here, but I’m not going to do any “Black Friday deals” or … Continue reading “Becoming A Holiday Commercial”
For whatever reason I found myself thinking of the Cosplay Death Match that I host at ConnectiCon every year. It’s become the main event of the convention and more folks who attend that show know me as “the Death Match guy” than from my two decades of making comics. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. … Continue reading “Only At ConnectiCon”
This November I decided to take on the challenge of trying to write a novel. It was called National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo, but since a company made an official website to help track progress got sponsorship from A.I. programs and doubled-down on their support of it I’ve decided to simply call it the … Continue reading “November Novel Progress”
To say I am furious about the results of the presidential election is an understatement. I woke up, read the news, and was shaking with rage. My hatred for that son of a bitch has reached depths I did not think I’d previously attained, and yet here we are; a new pit of anger discovered, … Continue reading “Election Day Anger”
Today is the presidential election here in the United States and I cannot wait to have this whole ordeal behind us. And by that I mean I hope that bargain bin wannabe dictator gets handed a loss so definitive we don’t see his name in the news again unless he’s going to prison. In case … Continue reading “Election Day 2024”
The title of today’s brief blog says it all. Today is my favorite holiday of the Big Three and despite my having to run to Providence to drop off my merch for Rhode Island Comic Con tomorrow I’m looking forward to celebrating tonight. Halloween is my favorite holiday not because of the spooks and scares … Continue reading “HAPPY HALLOWEEN!”
