Okay, I had to do one: at I Can Has Cheezburger

And one more: Sheep

Today, a special guest appearance and ploy to tie my little universe together. How clever!

So. What's with that 70s floral kitchen chair? and that spicerack? and that doily?

The last few comics feature these additions to the scenery not just to signify that the protagonists are inhabiting some new environs, but to try and give some clues as to the nature of those environs and what sort of events might ensue.

Yup, folks... once again, it's a mystery with clues that reach way back in the archives. Here's a round-up of the paper trail, from left to right: <> The phone message left while Evil Atom was ousted. <> The half-burnt document Memo found in the incinerator. <> The invoice Haynus and Louise were trying to hide.

Well, I saw The Dark Knight last night (for realsies, no anti-shark spray jokes this time), and there is probably never been a movie about which there has been less reason to write; you've read it all before, the Bat Voice is dumb, Oldman and Eckhardt are great, Ledger is beyond phenomenal, it's nonetheless somewhat overlong (fifteen, twenty minutes tops, and I know where that could have been cut), and I'm glad that Rachel Dawes is dead because she was only ever an accessory to the male characters at best.

I held off for so very long. Email's me@shaenon.com.

Spooky action at a distance = magic? I don't think so, but it's an interesting argument...

Tonight’s “Anime Elite” drawing group has been moved from the Hanover Park branch to the Central Schaumburg library, 130 S. Roselle Rd., Schaumburg IL. It’s from 7 -8 pm - stop by if you can..

Most cartoonists, and artists in general, would prefer to just sit and draw and cartoon. I’ve often been in the position, when engulfed in website work and business, that all I really wanted to become a cartoonist for was to draw. A great many artists are naturally shy, are a bit introverted, and have rich inner lives. I know what this is like, because all this describes me. Over the years, in the indie comic world and the webcomic world, I’ve met a great number of folks who are just like me in this regard. (Indeed, it’s shocking how man pudgy, balding guys with facial hair and glasses I’ve met who do the exact same thing I do!)

Being introverted is just fine, especially if you are drawing for your own amusement and nothing else. Being a cartoonist, especially a webcartoonist, means that you have to break out of your shell and learn how to be a salesman and community builder.
