I would have volunteered to host or co-host, but I've been tied up putting a comic together for the DD anthology project… which I'm not even sure is going to be a real thing… and which my entry is probably too long for anyway.

I was holding off on that as no decision has been made as to number of pages or page dimensions, if it happens. What did you go for, out of interest?

For my page dimensions, I went with the Ka-Blam template. The comic itself is a mini-caper set in the universe of my 'Transneptunian' comic. Sadly, I'm more or less incapable of writing anything short, so it's already cracked 25 pages. It will likely run something like 32-ish pages all said and done. If it doesn't make the anthology, I'm sure I'll find somewhere else to post it!

And I was worrying about going over six pages! Ka-Blam template is a good bet, should work for most printers.

Stop listening to those ignorant fools. There is only one race; the human race. Color is skin deep adaptation to sunlight and has nothing to do with self worth.

Want to talk about colonialism and imperialism? Let's talk about pre-Columbian indigenous people or the Egyptians or Chaldeans or Chinese or South Seas islanders. It's human cross-cultural social behavior.

And straight? That's biology. There's a species to propagate. Hundred thousand years of hunter gathering tribal groups now thinking we have a answers about our behavior after a few hundred years of science after 4000 years of backwards thinking and superstition?

The optimist knows we live in the best of worlds, the pessimists fear this is so. Don't let the ignorant get you down.

Life is a banquet, no need to starve.

What bravo1102 said.



I don't know how bad thinking about it is and I'm guessing many of us have done so at one time or another. Going through with it is definitely a bad thing and tends to cause long lasting pain for loved ones. You'll also miss out on all the things you would have seen and done and the world will be a less interesting place.

People who take their own lives see no possible alternative. If only they had stuck around a while longer, those alternatives would inevitably present themselves. It's a lovely day tomorrow.

If your having thoughts like that, reach out for help. Suicide is a very permanent solution to a temporary feeling.
Perhaps stop interacting with whoever or whatever it is that makes you feel that way.

I've been thinking about this and I guess much depends on how many stories get made and how big we want the whole thing. I don't know what costs would be on printing something like 160 - 200 pages would be, but I imagine that sort of size would be good. It would provide a decent showcase for talent on here and allow for a couple of slightly longer stories.

Well holy crap! In the last week I think I've made more comic pages than in the last year or so. I seem to have rediscovered the joy of it, and can get my head back into it. Woo hoo!

I woke up with a nasty, bitter taste on the back on my tongue that I can't get rid off :(

WebMD says acid reflux. Hopefully it's not chronic or you'll have to give up coffee, alcohol, clearing your throat and talking.

I get that sometimes. It means you're dead but you haven't realised it yet, like Bruce Willis.

Haha, it's not that, Aids, cancer or death XD
I thought it might be reflux and tried anti-acid stuff, which didn't work.

I have yellow on my tongue and a bitter, peppery, slightly burny taste at the back of my tongue and throat.
I reasoned it will either be a bacterial infection or thrush. The doctor thought the same.

I don't think it's thrush because that's normally white, coats the entire tongue, and you can't really taste any food. you just have a slimy, cream taste always.

So… it's antibiotics for me. And if that doesn't work, then I'll try antifungals! XD

HAHAHA! I'll keep you informed. And if I die I will haunt you.

Well that's actually good news as it's something that can be cured as opposed to just treated.

And the doctor recommendations sheet for reflux does include all the things I mentioned. I got it after my follow up with the Ear-nose-throat after my swallow test.

Ever see those cool X-ray movies of people swallowing? That's a swallow test. You eat and drink stuff laced with Barium and they take X-rays of it going down. I have reflux from a flap at the back of my throat that doesn't let me swallow things completely.

No wonder I'm a skeptic.

It also explains why you're not a prostitute… Just saying.

Way too fattening to swallow.

There's a story in All you want to know about sex but were afraid to ask about a prostitute you wanted to lose weight. She followed her doctor's instructions but lost nothing. Then the doctor asked her how many times she performed oral sex. She answered six or seven and that she swallowed.

Turns out the typical ejaculation is 200+ calories mostly fat and sugars. When past girlfriends were on diets, I'd tell them not to swallow.

So tell me, who's been happily married for 25 years?

You come out as this considerate and concerned with your partner's well being?

She won't be so critical when you want a night out with the guys. 🙂

Happy wife, happy life.

Hmmm, interesting. So effectively ejaculation results in a man losing 200 odd calories, meaning frequent masturbation could help men lose weight as well as making them go blind.

Actually that's a myth. Frequent masturbation leads to long life, happiness and doing any movie that comes along. It's called Ernest Borgnine syndrome.

When the actor was asked to what he attributed his long life, he said "I masturbate a lot "
