I really wanted to avoid a pun like "See the ladies of Mobius Strip", if only because I wouldn't be able to realize the full visual potential of such a pun.

Ironically enough, this started out as a political joke ...
... that's "ironic" because there are too many stooges in politics.

There are three branches of government and three stooges.
Co-incidence?

Lunacon 2009 Report

In brief: it was a good time. Saw some friends that I haven't seen since the last con, and got to talk to some people that I met briefly last year.

One of them was Laura Anne Gilman, who autographed my newly-purchased copy of THE SHADOWS BETWEEN, a Poltergeist: The Legacy novel, written under the name L.A. Liverakos. This was sometime after I mentioned the fact that I was trying to avoid buying more media tie-in novels. Sorry, but most of them are awful. However, I have hope for this one because I made a bit of a fool of myself when I discovered that she had co-written DEEP WATER, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer novel with Josepha Sherman, a book that I read within the past year. I remembered Sherman's connection to the book, but not Gilman's.

Okay, so I felt like an oxymoron minus the oxy. I was introduced by a mutual friend and stopped by one of her panels. Shame on me for spacing out on her name until this year. In my defense, she was introduced to me only as "Laura Anne" ... No, not much of a defense. Now I have to find my copy of Deep Water and ask them both to sign it next year.

In other news, I re-used my Joker costume from last Halloween. Not the Heath Ledger Joker, but the costume I had in 1989. It still fit 20 years later. (It was a little big on me back then.) One guy asked why I wasn't wearing a fake mustache covered in white face paint. Ah, maybe next year.

What Is This Thing Called 'Sleep'?

Sleep can be overrated. Then again, parties can be overrated, too.

Also, Hours of Sleep is inversely proportional to Number of Hours Late the Next Strip Will Be Posted.

Edit: Call it "irony" or whathaveyou, but I noticed that due to lack of sleep, I misspelled "convention" in the original posting. It's been fixed.

Knowing

Knowing where the pun comes from is half the joke.

Actually, I saw this tagline on a bus shelter ad space ... but it wasn't on the movie poster, so I had to go back to that same bus stop to make sure that I had the wording correct.

So if you play blackjack at a casino in Ireland, could you be doublin' in Dublin?

Sunday Comic: Super-Stickman 46: Super-Stick-Man Goes West

Dateline: The Old West!
That's right, the Old West. The stagecoach is being robbed, but as luck and time would have it, Super-Stick-Man is there! Or, at least, he was there.

How he got back there isn't important! What is important is that you click on the link to the comic and follow the exciting story!

Happy Pizza Day

(Click on the cartoon to see the entire image.) (C)Copyright 2009, C. Burke. All rights reserved.


It came to my attention recently that calling a pizza a pie seems to be a regional thing. Friends on the net seemed perplexed when I used the term round pie. At least I didn't use the ultra-Brooklynese term pizza pie.

By the way, when I did this Pi Day comic last year, I hadn't planned on it being an annual thing. But I've been asked by a couple of people what I was cooking up for this year (and why I didn't mention Square Root Day).

So give the people what they want. I can't disappoint my handful of followers.

Another (x, why?) sighting

You are traveling to another dimension, a dimension not only length and width but of depth . . .

I couldn't find little magnetic numbers that were both the correct color and the correct shape. I'm guessing the FWOOM Tube caused color distortions along with the corresponding weight gain.

Without the disguises, you would've had a "mean none", instead.

A year later, and history is repeating itself, but the jury is out on whether it's tragedy or farce.

IWC Remix Competition Entries and Poll

The Lego-comic posted lasted under the title, Class Blog, was created partly because of the Irregular Webcomic Remix Competition. (And partly because I wanted to do it once I found out that I had permission to do it in the first place!)

There is also a poll on the IWC main page. Vote for Remix #9! Thanks.
