I wonder if the “proper accommodationsâ€? include zero-g.  That would be an interesting place to stay.

I learned a lesson today.  I usually like to draw while playing a TV show or movie nearby.  That way in my own weird, lazy way, I feel like I’m multitasking.  But the lesson I learned is this:  Don’t draw your cartoon while attempting to watch “Apocalypto.â€?  Too much reading.  And way too many blood and guts scenes that you just have to gape in horrified awe at.

Inspired by the Gamespot/Gertsmann event of 11/2007 and staff aftermath.

The beginning of a transition...

Some cartoonists really just bring a lot of cynicism to their work.  Not me.  I like to keep it up-beat.

This one is for you, Brian.

Had to take a break to get this off my chest…

And if this is really what the media thinks my days are like, boy are they way off.  I NEVER get up at 6:00 am.

But seriously, the media just can't seem to stop talking about her...  As if they think we actually want to know.  There's a serious disconnect there...

Poor Alan.  Victim of a critical update.

And I thought the current Spider-Man reboot was annoying.

"The Sims" would probably be the safest place for Alan…  He can go to work every other day without getting fired.  He can take a job as an astronaut or a sports mascot. 

But if my girls were playing the game, his life would be in serious danger.

If I were a modern day Jeff Bridges and were somehow stranded Tron-style inside today's cyber-space, Line Rider would go from being an addictive, fun little pass-time to my worst nightmare.  Especially in the hands of a vindictive roommate.

Let's face it, in your average FPS, when you die, you respawn, but in Line Rider, you can fall for all eternity.

Eesh.

I didn'tt mention this before, but I'm taking Mark's idea of putting Alan in his games.  Got to give credit where credit is due.

Ripping off ideas from readers is not below me.

The word of the day is phhft.

Just got back tonight from almost a week of traveling (It's correct both ways.  I looked).  Spent a few days visiting the folks after Christmas and then attended a New Years Eve party for our World of Warcraft guild.  Fun times.  Had an absolute blast.  And the roads were even merciful to us.  Thank Heaven!!

You may notice the slightly disfigured title.  As the strips progress over the coming weeks, that title will change occasionally until the new theme is firmly set and then the disfiguredness will give way to the new strip name.  And for those of you who know what it is, NO TELLING!  :D
