My dear friend hosted a New Year’s Eve party and asked me to bring my tarot deck to do readings! Tarot cards have become an occasional hobby of mine, and something I like to do when the mood strikes me (or in this case as a party trick) rather than a thing I plan to … Continue reading “It’s Not In The Cards”
Over the weekend I off-handedly made a post on my social media feeds that read as such: Every so often I wonder if I should try to get my comics adapted into something like a movie or TV show, but then I remember there are soulless execs who will erase years of work from existence … Continue reading “Adaptation, or Lack Thereof”
I have a better idea of what day it is today, so I’ll write a proper look back on 2024 and how I felt about it. I’ll be primarily talking about the comics here and not my personal life, the latter of which is less interesting to talk about in 2024 than the comics. 2024 … Continue reading “A Proper Retrospective”
Since today’s blog is posting on New Year’s Eve I should be making a post looking back on 2024. This was the year I switched from Snout’s wordless dreamscape journey to the short stories of Makena, Saritha, Alchemist, and the Ink Witch alongside the longer narrative of the dwarves of Kadaz. It should be a … Continue reading “What Day Is It?”
Yesterday was Christmas Day. Today we’re celebrating the holiday with my wife’s side of the family. Yesterday afternoon originally had no plans, and while that may sound like bliss to some folks, it felt empty to me. Something, anything, has to happen on Christmas Day for me. So I made something happen. I called it … Continue reading “Big Sandwich Christmas”
Every year for the past… well, every year in my career as a webcomicker I’ve taken my annual winter break. I take a week off from posting comics to enjoy the holiday season and spend time with my family and friends. I did it through most if not all the holiday seasons for the Oracle … Continue reading “Working Through the Holidays”
I got new glasses this week. Normally I wouldn’t dedicate an entire blog post to something as mundane and uninteresting as getting a new pair of glasses, but this is a little different for me. For years now I’ve worn thin wire-frame glasses with long rectangular lenses. Just plain black frames. They weren’t flashy. They … Continue reading “New Glasses”
The last few Christmas seasons I’ve been blessed with a “holiday budget” from my family, which I can use to treat myself to gifts. My immediate family all live hours away from us in another state, so this is their way of being involved in the spirit of holiday giving without having to ship presents … Continue reading “The Cool Uncle”
In case you missed the announcement on Monday (and I hope you didn’t, because it was plastered all over the front page) I’m having a HOLIDAY SALE! I spoke last week about how this time of year turns small businesses and independent creators like yours truly into walking commercials, and that time has come. So … Continue reading “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”
Thanksgiving is coming up this week for those of us here in the United States, and while Thursday is a day of feasting and togetherness with family, the very next day signals a shift in the holiday season. Most call it Black Friday here, but I’m not going to do any “Black Friday deals” or … Continue reading “Becoming A Holiday Commercial”
