So I sign up for a summer semester class. I go downtown (where the collage is) at 5:30 pm… apparently I signed up for an evening class…

I should explain why this sucks before going on to why it sucks even more:

The population of the Metro-Milwaukee area is about 2 million… every one of those SOB’s commutes downtown. Not a big problem if Milwaukee had a useable downtown, but no! At any given time half the roads are closed, the other half are unnavicable and don’t get me started on the buses!


No one wants to be downtown. There’s a mass exodus everyday at 5:00pm when the work day ends. Like rats from a sinking ship…


Long story short (too late), I fight through the traffic only to sit in a hall with this one other dude for forty damn minutes! No one else shows up! No teacher, no peers, no nothing.

Why did I wait forty minutes? Because it’s a four hour class. A lot of shit probably gets covered so I want to be sure I’m not missing anything before I bug out.

I spent the whole first half the week get set for this damn class (which explains why I’ve been scarce) and… and… what the hell? Is it happening or what?

And seriously, the campus seems to shut down at 5 too. That sucks double for me cuz I’m horny as hell and- and that’s probably not important.


So I’m going down to that hellhole again this evening and if I’m the only one there I’ll rain down fiery wraith the likes of which haven’t been seen since… since quite some time!


Also: lefarce, if you didn’t get the response to that last comment ya made (and are reading this), I totally dig your work, so yeah, hook me up with a banner and I’ll link ya

… though you may have already sent it… I haven’t checked my e-mail in several days… I wonder if I got some email about that class being canceled… I really should look into that…



uh, there was one other thing…. Oh, yeah! The comic. I messed with the trace setting a little. I’m trying to find a balance between crisp lines and the sketchy look I’m going for.

And I swear ta God, I’m working on getting speech bubbles :)


Last note: My other comic, Kitsch as Hell, should get its first page Friday. Everything’s more or less inked and scanned, now I just have to put it together in Photoshop.

P.S. if anyone’s wondering what happened to Atomic:

Good idea, bad timing. Will revisit at a later date :)
