I have ignored you for too long, LJ! I apologize for my fickle nature but Twitter, she has a hold over me I cannot explain.
In honor of today's Overcompensating:

Norah cut her first tooth today, and all I can think of is orthodontal bills.
Apologies for the gratuitous cuteness, I couldn't help myself.

Man, Obama keeps winning and winning, I am actually beginning to get a little excited. At least I think I am, I don't really remember what hope feels like too clearly.
Is it possible that the American public may actually not fuck up an election for once?
Also, how much politics is it appropriate to put on one's webcomic homepage? I'm sure the answer varies from comic to comic but I'm never quite sure where to draw the line myself. |

| Cloverfield |

Amy took me to see Cloverfield this weekend during our 5th Anniversary extravaganza, further cementing her status as Ultimate Wife. The movie was pretty good, I find myself thinking a lot about it, alternating between picking it apart for its minor flaws and wishing there was more monster in the monster movie.
It was sort of 9/11-meets-Dawson's-Creek, mostly disposable learning-disabled 25-somethings with impossible jobs and apartments, tussling with spider-dogs and wrestling with their feelings. The best part of the movie is Lizzy Caplan, who channels Zooey Deschanel for her portrayal of Marlena. It may be unoriginal but I always say the more Zooey there is out there the better.
I will give J.J. Abrams this: the first fifteen minutes had me flashing back pretty hard. Now that we know what New York looks like in flames in real life I suppose it is going to be much easier for filmmakers to simulate it realistically onscreen.
We need a sequel where we meet the monster's extended network of college friends, all of whom use NokiaTM brand cell phones exclusively. |

I'm really enjoying The Accidental Time Machine, Joe Haldeman's latest. It touches on some of the same themes as The Forever War but is very different in feel, almost as though Haldeman were channeling Vinge or Rucker.
I'm not finished yet, but about 3/4 of the way through and it's pretty perfect. |

Behold the Antepenultimate Silent Panel. Very tricky to pull off, but deadly if used correctly.
Sorry I have been away for so long! My focus has been narrowed to laser-like proportions, life is cartooning and child rearing and food preparation, a perfectly balanced triangle that can accommodate no additional weight without bringing the whole thing down. A single blog post felt like an extravagant expenditure of precious seconds. No more! I say no more.
Ah, fuck. I forgot what I was going to say now.
I'm going back to writing angry fish jokes. Maybe it will come to me in a dream. |

Today I drew comics, fed a baby and watchedfifteen minutes of brand-new Futurama. It was a pretty perfect birthday.
Thanks to all of you who send birthday wishes, you made me feel like a hundred bucks. |

| Xmas T-Shirts: Now More Purchaseable |
[Nov. 13th, 2007|01:31 pm] |
Thansk for all your help picking out your favorite t-shirt designs, friends! I have made your top three choices available for purchase.
The Represent design is slightly tweaked for color and a few lines have been cleaned up, but otherwise everything is as it was. I am thinking all of these may only be single-run designs but I will be pleasantly surprised if there is enough demand to keep them around, of course.
Anyways, thanks again! You're the best internet friends an antisocial hermit like myself could hope for. |

| Xmas T-Shirts: I Snooze, You Choose |

I am very, very late in getting new t-shirt designs done in time for christmas sales. So late, in fact, that I am delegating the responsibility of choosing which designs to offer to you.
Here are five potential designs, each culled from my ever-growing pile of design rejects (which is a sort of Island of Misfit Toys for t-shirt designs that are unusable, unloveable, unwearable). Since I am entirely unable to judge which t-shirts will sell properly, I figured I would give them each a reprieve. You get to say who stays out on parole and who gets sent back to the slammer.
Please rate each design on a scale of 1 to 10, each unit representing the degree of purchase cravings that you feel when you view it. Thank you!

I say we all pitch in and buy Bush a nice fiddle.
Tomorrow is going to be an MG day, when 3pm comes around and I have two lines of dialogue written I know it may be time to take a deep breath and go in a different direction. But there will be a one-day sale on all t-shirts, so hopefully that will help cheer up all the disappointed children (and help me pay some bills). |

There is something very satisfying in seeing the Republicans for Voldemort bumper sticker mentioned in the New York Times.
Next year I am going to try and come up with a bumper sticker that will help bring about the destruction of at least one of the five branches of government.
(Two branches are secret and not know to the general public.) |

I think if Goats survives the next year I am going to have to bring back God as a recurring character. I need a really good villain.

I'm doing a limited run of 50 13"x19" Squid Vs. Wienermobile prints, archival inks and papers, signed and numbered, and I thought I'd let you good folks get first crack at them before I unleash them on the general public.
