bearses!






i felt a little awkward asking these artists to draw dancing bears. next time i will ask for buxom viking warrior princesses.
i have the internets and i am internets overloaded. every program on my computer wants me to update it. work has gone crazy so you won't hear from me during the day. earlier i returned all my phone calls and now i will do the same with e-mails. don't get behind on your keeping up with people! it just creates more work later.

the h.o.l. dance troupe









dancing bears drawn by the people who crammed into one hotel room of love at spx. missing: xander, zach, sarahh, and me.
spx was so much fun and comics people are ridiculously nice. ben woo, dean trippe, and i should be getting rings made soon. cause we're getting married. some neat people thought i was neat, and that was neat. jamie dee was ill but i would've kissed him anyways. perhaps the tone of my comic and internet presence suggests that i have hygiene problems and anger control issues, so when i don't smell too bad or punch people in the genitals it is a pleasant surprise.
it was honestly some of the most fun and best conversation and oddest antics i've been around in quite some time. like: ben woo's folk songs, jason turner's monster manual, mike stevens and the mcandrews' high school stories, the huoh reading, sarahh's husbands, and way too many other things to list.
later this week: more dancing bears by various artists. i should be getting the internets in my apartment soon so i'll actually respond to comments and e-mails and such. hooray. apologies for making your friends list unwieldy.

i should be leaving for spx tomorrow and so may not be updating. if you are going, i will be wearing a blue hat that says "campbell" on friday. it is a pretty hat.
i've been trying to figure out what i want to do with this webcomic of mine, and i'm not real sure. i feel like there are enough journal comics in the world, so i am not real set on making my own. i've been thinking about doing a storyline. this rip van winkle strip is a result of me considering turning that particular myth/fairytale into a seriously complex post-modern stick-figure graphic narrative. but that's what happens to every myth/fairytale so then it became all about the swears. swears!
i also don't know about trying for a gag every day, since there's already one toothpaste for dinner, and even that may be about .33 toothpaste's for dinner too many. in general my actually being funny is probably limited to once a week, if that. anyways: SOUL-SEARCHING.
this comic, as with most former-daily-grind comics, is in the pretty unique position of probably never again having an audience as large as the first day it was updated. speaking of audience: thanks for nice e-mails and for moneys and for comments and for being encouraging, people who read this. you are neat. i hope to come back from spx with an idea of what i want to do with this here webcomic and the gumption to finish "hobo failure." ha ha. gumption.

well hey, sara finally got around to updating her comic, and i think that's neat. also her new comic features me! it is a startling likeness!
also i should tell you about john spriggs' comic. we mowed lawns together for a summer! and talked about comics! also he has a comic which features me! he has taken much artistic liberty and drawn me as if i weren't a stick figure, and that is something to think about! what a world that would be!
p.s. there's a minibosses concert down the street from my place tonight! let's get together and have a NERD party! those are like regular parties but with fewer girls and more VIDEO GAMES.
p.p.s. see you at the sufjan show on saturday! i guess i might as well admit to being a bobo*! maybe later we can drink imported coffee and make art that is not good enough to be noticed but is good enough for us to feel a little better about our desk jobs! BITING SOCIAL CRITIQUE!

scrapped pages from "things were said" mini, which i printed up last night. doodles of random things said to me or overheard. these were dropped for boringness or pacing.

i don't know if my comic has run on the webcomic telethon yet. if somebody spots it, e-mail me the link or something. you will know it because it has a joke that is kind of inappropriate for a hurricane telethon.

hello children. i thought you should know i have an excerpt from the mini i've been working on all summer running in the webcomic telethon. the mini is entitled, "hobo failure" and i am not done with it yet. it is taking forever because i am making the art okay. i have another mini i made because i was tired of not having something done. it is called "things were said" and it is complete and just needs to be printed up.
also i met tom mchenry and sara the other night and i think i passed their not a psycho killer test by not going psycho and killing them. so they are going to take me to spx which is neat. perhaps i will see you there.
i think there's a handful of people who have been checking this site every day for the past unupdated three months. today is your reward. pretty disappointing, huh. i will hopefully be getting an internet connection in my apartment sometime soon, but for now you are reading this because i have gotten braver about using the internet at work. hooray.
also i saw the pAper chAse play saturday and oh man.
