President Bush is Doing a Terrible Job

I'm so mad about the way the USA is being run I want to set myself on fire.

President Bush, you are fired. I fire thee. I can do a better job than you, plus I won't spend 1/3 of my time on vacation. Plus, I understand the news and honestly I don't need a big giant jumbo jet.

The Revenge of 420

I was gonna do something about weed for 4/20 day, but 4/20 is about so many other things. 4/20 being about weed is dumb anyway. It's my Dad's Birthday, it's Hitler's Birthday, and it's National High Five Day, so give me some skin.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow because that's the day for George Bush's Performance Evaluation. I pay his salary, after all.

Happy birthday, Dad.

Thursday Update

Me so tired! My eyes are almost closed. Overcompensating will update 12 hours from this posting. In the meantime (as opposed to the nicetime), if you're unfamiliar with the works of my friend Kazu, please treat yourself! He strong.

And here a preview of things to come!



There are some reviews of the Missile Crisis books here and here. And here. I'm trying to get them to you as hard as I can!

Time Fogey

One day in 1998, I woke up at like 5:30am for some reason. For some other reason, I turned on the local news, and there was a young, female newsanchor who was visibly hungover and it was obvious the last thing she wanted to be doing at that moment was read the news in front of a camera. I'd been toying with the idea of making a comic strip to submit to syndicates, and I found my lead character right there. I had a good friend with the last name "Day," and the cranky local newsanchor Zoe Day from my first comic When I Grow Up was born right then and there.

The point is, don't ever go back in time and fix your mistakes on your deathbed. Let Time Fogey show you how to turn regret into ultra-regret! Could this comic's true face only be seen in the light of this comic?

I Do Too Have Problems

I guess I have unique problems. But human beings need to have problems; turmoil is the status quo. And if you don't have real problems, the human mind makes up fake problems. It's the brain's way of keeping you from going completely insane whenever a bear or a dog is about to attack you. This comic is my therapy.

I have added a "Blogodrome Buzz" link to the posts in the future. This feature links to the blogs that post to the specific Overcompensating blogs! It is kind of interesting. Now if you'll excuse me, some of us have to go sign our autograph about 300 more times!

Of NASCAR and String Cheese

It's true -- potheads compromise a whopping 91% of spectators at jam band concerts, yet surprisingly only 35% of record sales are attributable to the same demographic. What does that say about the future of America? Imagine you're reading a fairy tale book (with obfuscated, twisted, violent imagery as all good fairy tale books have), and suddenly you turn to the last page and it is scorched beyond recognition.

Got about 500 Missile Crisis books out the door so far (if you are near Southington, CT there are some at Kevin's Comics). I'm trying to make all the special editions extra special which is taking a little time. I hope to have all the pre-orders and current orders out the door by Wednesday, as well as all the other orders TopatoCo has and all the orders all of TopatoCo's shipping clients have, as well as working on material for the Literate Princess web-story and inking pages for the Case of Atlantis.

I did my income tax last night; basically I just shoved a bunch of papers into an envelope, held my breath, and crammed it into a the slot. If I owe the IRS money that they've made it too complicated for me to figure out, then they can send me a bill. I'm not too happy about being an accessory to mass murder, but it's Patriot Day so I'm not supposed to say that.
