Sunday Comics

A new feature on the Comic Genesis site will be the Sunday Comic, featuring Super-Stick-Man.

The first Sunday installment can be seen here.

Any objections to making this a weekly feature?

UPDATE: Please hold your comments until the Comic is actually posted.
Last night, I posted this comment after loading the files that were supposed to have appeared this morning on my site. The site has not been updated by their server yet.

Well, that isn't quite true. The main page is updated. You can see the reference to Super-Stick-Man. But the comic itself has not been loaded. I have reloaded the images and have tried to force updates several times.

Comic Genesis's site has not responded yet.

Keep trying. It'll be there eventually.

Trig's Mom is in the News Again

Regular readers of (x, why?) weren't scratching their heads yesterday and asking, "Sarah who?"

It was noted here back a few months ago on April 20, 2008 that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin gave birth to a boy named Trig. Trig has been mentioned a few times in the last 24 hours because of his Down's Syndrome.

Pushing the Envelope

Be sure that the envelope you're pushing isn't really a load-bearing wall.

The fact that summer vacation is over today is totally tangentially to the mood of today's comic.

By the way, I inverted the colors by accident, but I liked how it looked better. What do you think?

Back to School Tomorrow

NYC public school teachers go back to school tomorrow, Thursday, August 28, 2008. Yes, we have two days of work and then our first three-day weekend. Go figure. The kids come back next Tuesday.

Now before everyone out there who wasn't off for summer vacation starts cursing me (too late!), I'm not looking for pity or commiseration or anything like that.

I'm just using that as an excuse if I can't keep up the four strips per week pace that I've been keeping for the past couple of weeks.

Wish me luck.

Bananas in the Caribbean

So I've been back from vacation for over a week now and there's definitely some things I already miss.

We had sunlight on the sand. We had moonlight on the Sea.
We had mangoes and bananas you could pick right off the buffet tables...

And those bananas are what I miss. Instead of ripping them off while they're green so that they could ripen in a warehouse, they ripened on the trees until they were needed for your breakfast cereal! Fresh and delicious.

I wanted to stuff my pockets with them and bring them home with me!
There were, of course, three problems with doing this.

First, the practical problem: it would be quite messy.

Second, the legal problem: you can't take produce off the island and back to the U.S.

And third, and most importantly, the folks at the resort have seen it all. They have witnessed plenty of bizarre behavior and are absolutely unfazed by the antics of their guests. so no matter how much you may want it, you will not get a barmaid or hostess to ask, "Excuse me, sir. Is that a banana in your pocket?"

Kind of makes it just not worth it.
