Good morning.

Uh, so Christmas. :x Hope you all had a good one. I did. I have to work today and it's going to be screaming busy.

Maybe I'll see one or two of you there, buying some graphic novels with your Christmas money. Eh? :p

Good morning.

And away we go. Did I mention this next sequence is not for the faint-hearted? Well, I just did.

Good morning. So, like I said last week, this is gonna be the last Thursday update for a while. I can't keep up with the twice-weekly schedule at the moment, so updates will only be on Monday for the next while. Hey, you're all subscribed to the RSS feed anyway, aint'cha? It should save you the trouble of checking on Thursday to see if there's an update. ;p

Plus, I promise the next sequence is going to rock your socks off, so you won't mind waiting a week between pages. Hot damn!

Also, I just found out that apparently I WILL be exhibiting at the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival in May, so WOOHOO for that!

Lastly, have a painting of Spider-Man and the Green Goblin. This is a Christmas gift for my boss. Who is awesome. The best boss in the world. I'm pretty sure he doesn't read this blog, so I don't have to worry about him seeing this before Christmas. If he does, "oops" :p

Good morning. 

I should warn you all right now - I'm going to be cutting back on my update schedule. Twice a week is driving me absolutely insane.

For a long time now I've treated this comic as a matter of life and death, and that's not the way things should be at all.

So, I'll finish up this sequence and then starting next Monday I'll update only once a week for the forseeable future. Sorry for the inconvenience, but that's just how it's gotta go.

Thank you all so much for reading and supporting me, it's keeping me going. :)

Good morning. I'm mostly putting this next bit in here for my boss at work, who is a big CCR fan. I almost had them sing the commonly misheard line "There's a bathroom on the right" but decided against it. :p

Good morning. Seeing as how most of my readers are American, I had better explain this one: Mr. Dressup (Ernie Coombs) was a Canadian children's entertainer who had his own TV show on CBC that ran from 1967 to 1996, and then until 2006 in reruns. (Since LSA is meant to take place in the year 2002, it would still be plausible for Jeremy and Ian to be watching an old rerun)

Mr. Dressup was often accompanied by two puppets, Casey and Finnegan. He would dress up in costumes acquired from his "Tickle Trunk" and act out stories with them. In other segments he would sing songs, make crafts, or draw pictures on a pad of bond paper draped over an easel.

It was very low budget, and still infinitely more fascinating to me as a child than Sesame Street or any other children's show. I WEPT when Mr. Dressup died.

It was also brought to my attention that the pictures on this blog are too small to read. This is, unfortunately, not my doing: Blogger used to link directly to an image, but now each image is displayed in a horrible Flash presentation, with no way of resizing it. I suggest you click on my "Good morning" link in each post, which will take you to my own website where you can read the comic at the proper size! Hope that helps. :) I'll see you all on Thursday!
