Let’s BLAWG!!!
I’ve been extremely busy filling book orders over the last couple days, mostly drawing crazy things like Llamas smoking a pipe. Someone got a Retardakitty flea zoomed in on. — I just got back from the post office from shipping ALL the worldwide orders (yes, including Belgium) - The orders the UK were a bit much to send, way more than I estimated, and I don’t understand why, because I’ve sent books there before and they werent as much. I may have to bump up overseas costs like 50 cents or something so I’m not eating it. We’ll see… - The local folks always seem amazed that I’m sending stuff all over the world. It is kinda cool. Heck, only a few years back, I was doing the minicomics just locally and then was thrilled to be sending books to like Iowa and Maine after a blurb in a small press magazine.
Man, that small press stuff was a dedicated bunch. This was before paypal, people would roll up their buck fifty into an envelope with their mailing address and mail that stuff to me– I’d then send them the mini or “ashcan” comics out to them. Fun times. Now it seems like I’m living in the future with all this groovy technology. Example– I got back from the post office, and a guy named Daniel from Duquesne PA which isn’t too far from here, had an order sent in for a book. BAM, i printed the label, drew something in a book for him and now it’s in a post office box– heck, he might get it at his door tomorrow or the next day. That’s amazing to me. — The first book has done really well and I already put in a reorder for more. We’re at the point right now where if you order, the book is here, it’ll ship out right away to you with no delays. Especially since I figured out the label thing through paypal which is REALLY fast and awesome.
Enough about Yirmumah. She’s doing fine.
How about Dick Cheney shooting a guy!? WOW…. You know, it’s sounding like he friggin killed the guy and they’ve covered it up– we’ll probably hear about the guy dying like a month from now, and they’ll have doctors say that it was totally unrelated to the birdshot pellets. I mean, it’s all sort of shaking down like some sort of minor cover up now… the 18 hour delay in telling the press, etc. It’s just weird. — Still… Dick Cheney shot someone and that’s just fantastically funny. Of course it’s not funny if you’re the guy who got shot. The Daily Show did an awesome bit on it where they showed the game DUCK HUNT– you can watch it here. (thanks to Crooks and Liars)

Seems the guy had a heart attack now… you might be right…

I know I’m weird, but if I shot a guy by accident when I was hunting, I wouldn’t go broadcasting it all over the place. For one thing, my friends would never let me forget it.

the highlight of the situation was the coverage of the ranch owner saying that he got immediate attention because cheney travels with a ‘crack medical team.’
The only person with a more crack team of doctors is Montgomery Burns, I would bet.

DJ, thanks for that link to the Daily Show clip. That was priceless.

Hey DJ, wow… kinda cool to see myself mentioned in a blog. I’m a rather cynical bastard who hooked up with your comic through cracked.com. I think it was the one for the thumb arc that drew my attention… It was funny, because we seemed to have the same reaction to something I’ve waited my entire life for (25 yrs.) Football is a brain infection around these parts. I’m not much of a comic guy, but I dug your strip and I like the fact that this shit exists in Pittsburgh. By the way, my girlfriend thouroughly enjoyed the cobra card. So much so, that my cobra was going “SPAK SPAK” all night. Peace homeslice.
