On space, collective endeavors, and personal ignorance…
The last planned manned flight into space by the USA was today. Without being a reason for, it is either a symptom of how far we’ve fallen or evidence that our accomplishments and the reasons behind them were never as lofty as we like to think they are. Collectively, we invest our resources only if [...]

Unstuck in time.
This is a message to the future. It will travel at a speed of one hour per hour, one day per day. Once you begin reading this entry, it is already over. When I started writing it, the events outlined below had already taken place. And once you reach the end of this entry, you [...]

I SWEAT WITH BUSY: August 2008
Smell that? That’s my musk. Not my normal musk mind you, no, this is a rare, potent fragrance that can only be sucreted from these pasty, anglo-saxon pores once in a blue moon. Embrace it with your nostrils. Ahhhh, that’s it. So, why do I perspire. Gather my little ones and I shall tell all. The [...]

SEQUENTIAL SMARTS post-mortem
If you didn’t catch it Tuesday, the tenth and “final” weekly installment of my column at Newsarama.com went live yesterday. I went out with a bang, offering one free copy of LACKLUSTER WORLD #1 to the first 100 people that signed up. 2 hours and 34 minutes after the column went live, all 100 copies [...]

STUART
Spent my weekend trying to finish the art for a 6-page story called STUART for Chris Arrant’s FOUR STORIES anthology due out at San Diego Comicon. I came *THIS* close to finishing it Sunday, alas it needs a bit of Photoshop work. Here is the first page, unlettered: Babbling about comics, time and such behind [...]

Time, Pain, Comics, and California
In just 9 days, con season is kicks off for me with APE. I’m making an extended trip of it and will be enjoying the loveliness of San Francisco for a full week: Wed, April 5 – Wed April 12. Anyway, I’m incredibly aggravated and embarrassed to say I will not have Lackluster World #4 [...]

Meanwhile, our hero examines the worth of his online temperament
Not even one month and I’ve managed to ignore posting for more than one week. Despite the lack of new content, this little outlet of mine has been in my thoughts. I’ve come to realize that I need a shtick or two for this site – something kind of daily/weekly/regularly thing that I can whip [...]
