Sorry I’ve been neglectful of this here sitey thing. I’ve been busy as hell - between work and sleep I generally have about four hours per day to do what I want. However there is light at the end of this tunnel. I get to go to Nashville, TN in October to demo the project for a bunch of big-wigs in the tanning industry. No, not leather tanning. Skin tanning. I’ll be out there for a few days and I’ll tell you all about the crazy tan people that I meet as each day comes to an end.
I’m sure they’ll all marvel at my pasty white skin more than the site we created. “You think that’s pasty? Wait till you see my shoulders!”

Lately I’ve been rather obsessed with online comics. You might have noticed the list on the right of this page has grown considerably. In this post I’m going to introduce some of my favorites from this list.
- Fanboys - About 3 people living together, all of whom have declared allegiance to a different video game manufacturer. Lemmy to Nintendo, Paul to Sony (formerly Sega), and Sylvia to Microsoft.
- Goats - A comic about a couple lazy dudes and a talking goat. Through their inter-dimensional adventures, they meet a talking chicken, a talking fish with a split personality, some aliens, talking monkeys, a large broccoli-man, and the devil himself.
- Megatokyo - Piro and Largo, a couple gamers from the states, want to go to the Tokyo Game Show and end up getting stranded in Japan. This beautiful manga is illustrated by a guy who lives in my home-town. The storyline has evolved away from gaming, but there’s still a few references here and there.
- Goblins - A comic in the D&D universe, except the goblins decide they will live under the rules of the Player-Characters instead of the rules for Non-Player-Characters.
- Hockey Zombie - A hockey fanatic dies and returns to the world of the living as a zombie. He can’t control his hunger for brains, and eventually infects an entire city with his zombie disease.
- The Mows - Day-to-day account of the lives of three cats. The author has a very interesting perspective on what’s going through cats’ minds. As a fellow cat-lover, I can’t help but love this comic.
- Bear & Kitten - A bear and a kitten live together and share some crazy, silly adventures.
The following comics are quick reads - often one panel - with a crazy bizarre style of humor. These are updated daily (except PBF) and good for a pick-me-up in the morning. Better than coffee. These are not for the prudish.
- Natalie Dee
- Toothpaste For Dinner (linked from Natalie Dee)
- Married To The Sea (linked from Natalie Dee)
- Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
- Explosm
- The Book of Biff
- Perry Bible Fellowship
Again, the links for these comics can be found on the right side of the page if you are interested.
