my muffins

Boop. I’m gonna set up a buffer so I can stop being late.





share buttons

I wanted to mention the share buttons I added. You’ll see ‘em below every comic. That means you can just click on whatever button to share the comic on the corresponding site. Technology is awesome, and so is sharing, so there’s no reason you shouldn’t share your favorite comics with your friends and foes. If you like some other site that there isn’t a button for (Reddit, Myspace, etc.), then let me know via email, IM, Twitter, smoke signal, or whatever else and I’ll add the button for you. Just for you. Oh yeah.

In other news, you’ll be able to search comics soon, so you won’t have to dig through the archives to find that one where the guy is kicking Cookie Monster’s guts out.


new rss feed

Some of you are awesome. You know you’re one of them when you receive this message in your RSS reader, because that means you totally RSSed me up to the max, and RSS stands for Really Sawesome Sperson. Turns out, though, that Google is ready for action with some rock solid features, so I decided to stick the Google in my RSS.

This is the last post you’ll be receiving through your current subscription. Here’s the new RSS link for all y’all:

Remember, you’re awesome.


verb me hard with your noun

Oh my goodness, I am so worthless. No I’m not. I just have an interesting strategy of motivating myself by insulting myself, causing me to fight back with “No, I’m better than this.” And then I waste time anyway. So, I’ve thought about my whole “late comics” situation pretty carefully, and I’m beginning to understand what’s happening – as in, what is causing me to waste time. Let me explain the system that runs my life.

I have a high-priority to-do list with tasks that I need to accomplish each day. These tasks range from business situations to hanging stuff up on the wall. Sometimes, though, I have no immediate tasks on the list, and that’s where my back-room schedule kicks in. The stuff on the schedule consists of all my hobbies and interests. When there are things I need to finish on the to-do list, I ignore the schedule because it’s not as important; it just prevents me from wasting time when I have nothing important to get done.

That’s the problem. I have a lot of space reserved on the schedule for comic drawing. But, guess what? I ignore the schedule as long as there are things on my to-do list. Do I finish everything on the list in time for comics? No. In fact, sometimes, I don’t even start the list. That’s right – it’s not that the list is too long for me to finish. It’s that I waste time instead of finish the things on the list. Meaning I don’t get to my schedule. Meaning no comics. Life sucks.

But, you can help. I want three comics a week as much as you (hopefully) do, but I just need to get slapped in the face a little. With nouns. Slap me with your nouns. In more descriptive words: Think of a noun that has as little to do with comics as possible, and send it to me. Hit me from all directions. That’s email, AIM, Twitter, Facebook, or good ol’ comments on random comics you like. I like pictures of words that are nouns even more.

The more awesome and non-comic-related the noun, the higher chance you’ll be seeing a comic in time. Doesn’t make sense? Too bad; I want nouns. Maybe your noun will tell me something about you. Oh, and maybe you’ll get a noun in return. If your noun is pure gold, I might just send you an adjective. Then you can adject it up all night long. Wait, that was a verb. Subjects predicate.
