Gah!

Some things are just so painful to look at that you just have to share.

eew.

There are so many things wrong here I don’t even know where to start.

Oh, and a quick note on the comic schedule. I know I recently cut the comic schedule, but I also recently tripped into enough fodder for Idiocy on the Internet to keep me stocked for a bit longer. In fact, as I write this, we’re comicked up to the 20th of March.

So here’s the deal; if I have enough in the buffer to offer you one Get Outta My Head and one something else in a week, that something else will show up on Saturday as if I’d not changed my schedule at all. (And you can use the links in the archive to easily navigate only the stuff you want to read.)

If on the other hand I run the buffer out, then Tuesday will definitely be update day. I want to update Tuesday and Saturday whenever I can, but if I miss Saturday I won’t be heartbroken.

And if you guys want even more buffer-filler, I can post some of my Fark photoshop projects in on Saturdays too. Drop by the forum to give me your opinion on that.

Oh, and Websnark updated today. Yay!

This post rambles. I have a bad headache and Tums are my friend.

Speaking of friends, one friend pulled me aside recently to ask whether I was offline more often because he’d done something to offend me. That’s not it — I just want to spend more time with my husband than with the computer. I’m sure I’ll have upticks in online time again sometime in the future, but I’m not sure I’ve hit my low point in this downtick yet, so don’t take it personally if I’m not on the forum or on IM after work. It’s just, well, I love him enough to have married him, so he gets first dibs on my time.

And speaking of Nighthawk, another friend pulled me aside recently to ask whether the current cancer comics indicate that Nighthawk’s health is in flux again. That’s an emphatic no. He’s doing very well — the cancer’s undetectable which means there’s a good chance it’s gone altogether, and everything else is good.

So why the cancer comics? Because a) even though he’s doing very well, I find I work through major emotional stuff best by writing, and what better topic than the item that kicked all this off? and b) there isn’t a whole lot out there on thyroid cancer. It’s a pretty rare cancer, and if we can pass on anything we learned to someone else who experiences it, that’s a good thing, to me.

But (and this should be obvious) this isn’t an autobiographical journal comic any more than Real Life is a purely autobiographical journal comic. “Inspired by occasional true events” is accurate. “Details what actually happened to me” is not. 90% of the stuff in the comic is crap I made up.

Milo’s a good example — none of the alien life forms I work with are that short.

It’s past my bedtime, and I’m not going to get the comic I was working on finished tonight. Tomorrow maybe.

Tomorrow’s date night with more Firefly. Yay!

I also created a new teeshirt design. Check it out by clicking that big store talk bubble up there in the top right corner. If you can’t tell which one’s the new one, you haven’t visited the store enough. ;)

Well, goodnight!
