Cat on a Hot Tin Rampage



I saw another Catcoon last night. Between that and the bears, I'm in for the fight of my life. I'm just glad I have Joanna.

I have a guest comic up for Beaver and Steve right now!

That's all for this week. This weekend I'm going to hole up in my room with the AC and Dehumidifier cranked and a pen and paper and about a billion ideas. Ta!

The Unbearable Lightness of Being The Poopmonster



That Poopmonster is a precocious little scamp. He drinks Red Bulls like a hipster douchebag drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon on Karaoke night.

Did you guys hear about that Doomsday vault? I'm gonna see if they can put some of my stuff in there. You know, just in case.

You



A long time ago my little brother Danny asked me "What's it like bein' you?" It is probably my favorite question of all time.

I have been informed that Flight 3 is slowly dropping. Hooray! Prettiest book ever.

Some people have been askin' whether or not I'm goin to San Diego Comic-Con this year. I am not going to Comic-Con this year because I am wicked burned out on Comic-Con. Bill, I'll see you next year!

The Sparkle



I got Severe Burnout, I think, combined with a nasty case of Permanently Saturated Atmosphere. The atmosphere is extremely humid out here, and that makes it hard to draw for a number of reasons.

But what I'm saying is, I finally got it figured out because I have a room in this house that is about 100 square feet with a 9,000 BTU air conditioner in it. I can seriously mangle the humidity in this space.

Apparently I almost had to fight a bear today. Fortunately I know how to deal with bears. If you get attacked by a bear, you have to punch the bear in the face. You have to punch it in the face until it dies.

Suddenly I realize that a daily, hand-drawn, full-color comic is a lot more than most professional cartoonists do. Eh, I ain't got nothin' better to do.

Like You Know



Recent studies show that "like" is the most commonly used word in American English. Then there are some cuss words and the sixth most popular word is "huh." The sixth most popular word in England is "yob."

Lately I'm fascinated with Massachusetts colloqualisms. Today I "banged" my first "u-ie." Friday we had a "wicked pissah." I'll figure it out.

Ok let's do this thing. Team Force Alpha, it's time to move out.
