Well, thank you all for your indulgence in these last few strips for letting me play with various cartoony styles. As per today… too much Potter Puppet Pals? Or maybe Sinfest? Who knows… but every time I sat down to draw this, I saw puppets. Go figure…

I spent all day trying to figure out how to draw Jane in a more cartoony style. I’m still not sure I like it, but she’s my character, and if I can’t draw her, who can?!? So as this storyline continues it turns out that violence actually *has* erupted in France… though I doubt youth riots regarding the raising of the mandatory retirement age is exactly what the administration had in mind when they started issuing their warnings.
As per the riots, Sarkozy has really got to get his head straight. I mean really… raising the retirement age to *62*?!? That’s just inhumane!

It seems that Trooper Trent will never make an appearance around these parts because the Sunday news always seems to have a story worth commenting on. In this case, I read this article about someones concerns over the evils of yoga, and I just had to laugh. Of course, Mr. Mohler is hardly the first Christian to be worried about yoga, but maybe coming down on the side of Pat Robertson isn’t the wisest move.
With all the problems in this world that people are struggling with on a daily basis, maybe you could try and focus on something else for a while. Talk to your flock. I’m sure you’ll find that the biggest problem they are experiencing from yoga is the occasional charley horse! Just a thought but maybe you could concentrate on feeding and housing the poor?
As per me, I love yoga (best not to try and form a mental image of that)… I really need to start making more time for it these days as life has been stressful lately and moving very, very fast. When I’m sweating and stretching and breathing, at no point do I ever feel that I am somehow pulling away from God. My body is a temple, right? Shouldn’t I be encouraged to spruce the bloody thing up then? I’m just saying…

ALWAYS SAVE YOUR WORK!!! I was almost finished with this when DTE was kind enough to kill the power, and guess who wasn’t saving their work?!? Bad, bad me.
This seems to be a theme with me lately, as I was working on the code for the store last night, and was moving everything in to sections that made more sense with the code, and I managed to delete EVERYTHING. (Did I mention that you should always save your work?). I then started reuploading images, and creating products only to realize at the end that I had uploaded the low res images instead of the proper ones, so once again, I got to delete everything (though on purpose that time). I then started uploading the proper images, but only have four of them associated with products (it’s amazingly time consuming when you are starting from scratch). I will continue to assign the images you can’t see to products over the next day or two.
In the mean time, however, you can pop over to the store and have a look. The current designs are just the first four on the list of image, and aren’t truly representative of the store as a whole (though they are very representative of my daughter’s current Hetalia obsession), but I had to start rebuilding somewhere. It’s set up, so you can click on an image to see what products are associated with them. Printfection has a tremendous amount of shirt styles available, and I’ve activated most of them for each design (because how do I know what people like to wear). I’ve done a number of Printfection shirts, and the quality is always good. The dark shirts are a bit expensive, though. I may look for an alternate vendor for dark-specific designs. (Contest winners: if you see a design pop up over the next day or two that you like, let me know, and I’ll get it sent to you.)

I often wonder if advertisers feel regret. After a seemingly successful project — the boss is pleased, the client has signed off, the filming is done — do the advertising jocks ever flip on the TV, see what they’ve wrought and feel shame for their work? I mean, look at this thing!
There’s no excuse for that amount of over-the-top enthusiasm for a shiny ball!
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching contact juggling on a street corner as much as the the next guy, but the impressive part is the juggler’s skill… not the friggin’ ball!

If he can’t check his schedule, you’d think the News Guy could at least get one of the administrative assistants at work to give him a call. Oh well, I hope he remembered to put on shoes before he left…

I hate to put my words in my character’s mouths, but this is an actual conversation that occurred in my home last night… well, minus the ninth panel, anyways.
I know right?
Sometimes, I just do not understand that woman. I mean… it’s Shark Week for crying out loud!
Oh well… Jane needs to catch up on her reading, so this will be good for her.
I’m sure you’ve also noticed that I’ve managed to recreate my font. On with the contest. How many of you have unlocked this rather simple code?

So, I’ve been working on a movie poster for someone, and it was starting to hurt my brain, so I thought I’d whip up a quick one from a different movie for myself.

It’s the same thing every year with this guy. He just can’t say no to his sweet tooth. Jane has actually taken to buying extra candy and hiding it because as he waits by the door for the trick or treaters, he continually dips into the bucket. If she didn’t plan ahead, there would be nothing left for the kids!
So, hey, is anyone dressing up for the holiday? What as?

I think in the end it would be a lot easier if people would just talk to their parents honestly and openly about their lives.
