A good, full day at work, followed by a good dinner with my parents, good conversation with them afterwards (marred only by a random phone call from someone in Maryland, whose number I didn’t recognize so I didn’t pick up), followed by a wonderfully cheesy movie (The Sword and the Sorcerer) and a bit of […]

Today begins a week of on-site training at work. I’m sequestered with a dozen co-workers in a classroom all week. We’re running through a bunch of test scenarios with our new SAP system. My co-workers are all good people, but the experience itself is a frustrating interruption to my other work. I’m still a little […]

I started drawing my next comic today. Knowing how this goes, I spent the day waiting for the dramatic event that would keep me from moving forward creatively. There’s always something to dissuade one from a creative project. I shouldn’t have been surprised. There was no dramatic event, but I have had trouble drawing. Because […]
