Comical Things

The week is just buzzin' by! (Which is a GOOD thing). Left work early yesterday and took the boy to have his braces put on (uppers). He was a tad nervous but absolutely thrilled that it didn't hurt at all. No pain last night but (he claimed) he was sore this a.m. so he coullllllldn't go to school!!! Well, the wife was off today anyway so we let him bail. So, I'm at work while the rest of the family is home relaxing. Well, I couldn't let that happen . . . so I sent painters to work on the house today so they'd have no peace or quiet. BWA-HA-HA! (evil laugh of glee).

So, instead of writing today at lunch, I got hooked into something else creative that's been itching inside my brain for months now: a comic strip. Why? No clue, but the damn thing's been driving me buggy so I figured I'd better get it out of my head. I'm not much of an artist but I have to say it was a lot of fun to draw. I actually have the first two srips done. I'm not planning on shifting careers or anything but if I get a few of them put together I might just post them up here on the blog for your entertainment. I suppose it's a good thing. I've read a lot of writers who claim it's important for authorial type folks to have secondary outlets for their creative angst. Art, music, bear-wrestling . . . whatever floats your boat. This was a good change of pace. I'm hoping it'll clear the brain a bit and let me get back to a better flow on "First".

I actually have a pretty good list of web-comics that I read on a regular basis. I'm a big fan of the dark and/or irreverent views of life. If you're feeling adventurous today you might wanna check out:

The Devil's Panties
or
Striptease

(Relax, neither is a porn comic! Though they do have adult humor so view at your own risk!)

I find them both to be "have the co-workers-stare-at-you-for-laughing-out-loud-for-no-apparent-reason" funny. Then again, I'm a pretty twisted little gimp myself (like you didn't already know that!)

I am sitting here sweating at the moment . . . I made the mistake of wearing a heavy sweater today and it is in the 60's outside right now! I swear: the entire state of NJ is going to die of pneumonia soon. We went from a record snowfall over the weekend to 60 degree temps yesterday & today, and the coming weekend is supposed to drop into single digits! It's frikkin' insane, folks! Ah well, work beckons . . . gotta run.

Later!
