i think if someone says ‘hey the economy is great!’, and then someone else says it is on the news, it will suddenly become good. it never works with wishes or robots or zombies, but i swear as fuck the news is warlock magic with alan moore-y grant morrisson-y zatannaish backwardsy word powers.

a new comic is up on the excuse me page – totally clickable on the side link there. its about the hair on my head and face.

also, please notice the donate clicky up on the left there. thats where you can give me money for no reason except your own awesome generosity. everyone says youre really generous. you are pretty awesome.

ill have buying stuff things soon.

hi there friends and clicky-stumblers. 2009 has gotten off swimmingly. everything is covered with ice, my kitten claude was all sickly, i’m quickly going poor, and the muscles in my neck and shoulder have gone their way of annual wiggens and went all clenchy-wrenchy and it basically is torture, leaving me to lay around all day and play castlevania: symphony of the night, which isnt really a bad thing but there are better things i could be doing fer sure.

but would those things have ‘bloody tears’ playing in the background? no sir, they would not, unless of course it ever finished downloading.

but anyway here i am and muscles are less achy so i can sit up and type and even draw some, which rules. yay. look at me. i have a few projects which i will pop up when im sitting up long enpough to scan. love it. until then, please enjoy this turtle sex (thanks 100grand)

Well, my money’s no good
when i’m up to no good

But i’m fractured from the fall
And i wanna go home
But it takes two when it used to take one
