goodbye, foom

he is upset because he accidentally scheduled his child's birthday party for the same time as the secret meeting of a cult he inadvertently became the leader of. perhaps he will have to run between the two events, changing clothing. perhaps there will be confusion, and he will ask his child's guests to drink poison kool-aid. the joke is that some people's needs are met by irrational, personality-driven religious sects to such a great degree that they are willing to abandon their families and take their own lives. ha ha. i get the joke.

sara and tom took me to buy groceries so that i can eat again. thank you guys again times a million! it is going to take work to get used to eating again though! it's kind of uncomfortable, at first.

jason turner's true loves is as good as people say. possibly better?

not sure how i have lived without knowing about these guys. i think this came from jess. so thanks!

Just thought I'd let you know I read your stuff back when you did the daily grind and was way disappointed when you got eliminated. I even wrote a kind of foolish pedantic comment on one of the early strips about how I liked how understated your comic was. I just noticed that you're back to updating regularly and wanted to say I like what I'm seeing.

john said...: thanks y.k., i appreciated the comment back then cause i'd just come back to all those preposterous comments on the captain awesome comics.

i appreciate both the positive and negative comments. i would like to get away from the joke-a-day format and into some of the more serious projects i've been leaning toward. the world doesn't need another toothpaste for dinner.

though now that i'm thinking about it, the jab about the paypal donation button in the anonymous comment above seems a little uncalled for. my work is so poor and derivative that i shouldn't even leave the option open for people to give me money should they choose? i mean...geeze. and for the record, i was literally starving until a few days ago, and my car has broken down and will need fixing with money that i can only assume will fall out of the sky, and i will have student loans to worry about in a month as well. but man, it sure is presumptious of me to leave the possibility for the exchange of currency to occur on my little website here. AWESOME TIMES TEN, THANKS BUDDY.; 8/10/05 12:24 PM
