The Anthology

I know we've been slacking off big time, but we've got goals. Yes, we've got our sights set on an anthology. Coming just as soon as we finish Mr. Huggins' major character arc, which we WILL get around to soon. Then... after some touch-ups, we'll be ready to release a veritable anthropomorphic graphic serial (which sounds a lot stuffier than I meant to sound, but you get the point).

Thanks for hanging in there with us!

The Animated Version

I'm super excited to share this animated version of the third strip. Yes, it's cheap animation and the voices aren't what I imagined (not sure what I imagined), but it's still a lot of fun.

Enjoy!

Buried Treasure

Just thought I'd share a side project I've been working on. Sort of a Robert Frost-style poem I wrote.

Noble Beast

Just listened to Andrew Bird's latest CD, Noble Beast. It sounded like Roy Orbison meets Enigma to me in ways I can't quite pin down (probably because I've never taken any music appreciation courses). The music is absolutely beautiful! Some of the lyrics are a little odd for my taste, but I really connected with "Effigy" which is both reminiscent of and the antithesis of a sixties protest song. Such depth. "When you learn to burn an effigy, it should be of a man who's lost his way." And then, "It could be you, it could be me."

Fitz and the Tantrums

If you get a chance you should absolutely check out Fitz and the Tantrums. Can't stop listening to the EP.

Old 97's

Recently picked up a couple of older CD's by the Old 97's at Amoeba in Hollywood. I've had Fight Songs for some time and listened to it a lot back when, but I'd never gotten fully into them. Then my sister gave me a copy of their greatest hits and I bought their latest. Now, haven't been able to stop listening. Funny how that stuff works.

Murakami

Just reread Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami. Hadn't read it for about fifteen years. It was one of a handful of his books I read over the course of a month or two after being introduced to A Wild Sheep Chase way back when.

It's amazing stuff. Both mind bending and very poetic about the small moments of daily life. Something to aspire to.
