If I went to a subscription model, aint nobody gonna see it!

I haven't done Ken-Do in a while, and with good reason. I still have to go back and re-do the first dozen or so comics in this theme. I started making my own characters to look like figures from some cable cartoon or other, but in the past I used an online generator, which is only good for personal use. So if I ever wanted to make, say, postcards, or even a book, I can't use these comics until they're re-done. The problem is that they aren't really a high priority when I'm trying to turn out new content, answer Regents questions, and get some new writing accomplished. (I have a bunch of stories in circulation... but many of them are a couple years old.)

Anyway, this is a fun format that I'd like to return to, if only because it's an extra step removed. This allows Mike to be a voice of reason if Ken goes a little over the line. (Some people have wondered if Ken is who I'd be if I didn't let my inner-Mike shut him down a bit. Those people are generally close friends and family, naturally.)

I also write Fiction! You can now order Devilish And Divine, edited by John L. French and Danielle Ackley-McPhail, which contains (among many, many others) three stories by me, Christopher J. Burke about those above us and from down below. Order the softcover or ebook at Amazon. Also, check out In A Flash 2020, by Christopher J.

What web of puns is he spinning now?
The bottom text was supposed to be the after text, but I didn't have a bottom text. Oh well.

I haven't done a lot of Ken-Do comics because I still have to go back and re-do the originals.

If you didn't think I'd go there for an 11th anniversary joke, you haven't been paying attention.

My little therapy sessions to take my mind off my classes may last until it's old enough to go to high school itself. It's already lasted longer than the number of years I was in that school, and I couldn't tell you how many schools I've been to since then.

Tell me about it! The first 1100+ comics are the hardest!

The wurst thing about this: at first, I thought, I can't do this. But then the song came into my head and the words wrote seemed to write themselves ... until I tried writing them down and I realized I didn't have as much as I thought. Do you know why?

Because my muse is a brat!

Ken-Do #12: K-8 And Beyond!

There's a Doctor Who reference in there, too. Or just sci-fi, in general.

There is a trend in some smaller schools that are housed in bigger buildings to grow into the space so the kids don't have to leave if they don't wish to. If there are multiple schools in a building, one might outgrow their space and move to a new facility while the remaining one may expand. So a K-5 school may add a grade per year until it gets to K-8. Becoming a K-12 school is a bigger decision entirely, so that may take a few years to happen.

I'd given Ken-Do a rest, mostly because I still have to go back and re-do all the old ones. While it's fine to create images in this style, I shouldn't be using random character generators from the internet. I'll probably edit them over the Christmas break.

All gave some. Some gave all.

I did try longer, more complicated set-builder notations, but scrapped them.

Oddly, this is comic #1111 or 11-11, which would be Veterans Day, which is totally coincidental. I didn't go out of my way to make this happen. If anything, I've been wanting to update the page for at least a week now. Real world stuff.

Happy Memorial Day

I'm not planning on going to Hell ... but I am planning on going to Central Park to see the Papal Procession, and the crowds and detours might start to resemble that handbasket.

Ken-Do #9: Lemons

(Click on the comic if you can't see the full image.)

Why else would I have all those lemons?

Thanks to a glitch in my file naming, I thought this was #10, and Ken was going to reference the "Big 1-0". Last minute accounting picked up a discrepancy. (And a misplaced file, which is still misplaced -- I'll have to search for it.)

I haven't done a Ken-Do in quite a while because I realized that I needed to redo the figures. Basically, the program I used to create them in the first place had a clause on it stating that the avatars created could only be used for personal use. Putting them in the webcomic is probably not allowed. Previous attempts to duplicate them in my own style were horrible, and I've abandoned it a couple of times. I still have to go back and update the other 8 -- which will require a few more figures. Wish me luck.

Wow! Nine strips. Who would have thought it possible?

A teacher making a comic about a guy who makes a comic? It would never work.
