Technical difficulties- Friday's comic is up today, Moday's comic will be up tomorrow and the rest of the week as previously scheduled.
Long, hot, tiring weekend- hit the San Diego Comic-con on Saturday. Didn't find it as entertaining or satisfying as in previous years, but many other people seemed to be enjoying themselves. Recognized many comic writers and artists just wandering around, which is always cool.
Of note: I sought out Scott McCloud after his two panels (that day, anyhow) to say "hi" and introduce myself. Shortly thereafter I caught my reflection in a glass door and realized what a gimboid I appeared after walking around downtown San Deigo in the warm afternoon and swimming through the masses attending the con-- The typical sweaty, disheveled comic book fan. Well, almost. At least I wasn't wearing a Spider-Man T-shirt. No, not me. It was a David Bowie shirt.
Anything else to say? No, not really.
Maybe I gave the wrong answers to this test... but maybe not.

Doc Searls asks: "I want a browser that lets me set specific cookie acceptance preferences. I would set mine not to accept any from X10, hitbox, doubleclick, ad.(anything) and ads.(anything), to name a few I've just evicted from my cookie inventory. Are there any browsers that do that?"
Opera has excellent cookie configuration and is a darn fine browser in all other respects. What makes it really great for comic-reading persons is that you can open multiple windows and then, when you close the browser, have Opera remember which pages you're viewing and automatically reload those pages when you next open the browser. This means that every time you open Opera, it can automatically open, say, 5 windows and each window will be opening up one of the, say, 5 comics you read daily. Neat.
It's really fun to draw in a semi-Schultzian style, but sometimes I think that I'm becoming a little too Wattersonian. I supposed it doesn't matter too much, as the end result is something with which I'm rather pleased.
Yeah- should have mentioned this earlier, at the bright start of the day, but Saturday's comic is from Mr. Damonk (FRAMED!!!) and continues the work started by Kevin Pease (with some help from me). The first five parts of RC are here.
