Hourly Comics for the Day of Feb 01, 2010

Exactly what it says on the tin - I scrawled out a comic for every hour I was awake on Monday, Feb 1st. Warning - the comics ahead are very rough.

Also, I apologize for my handwriting.







































Firewire cables are a pain to replace.

Down Time

So what have I been up to? What ingenious inventions have I constructed? Well, I did make some progress on a virulent strain of virus!

...Yes that is code for 'I got sick and slept for a few days'.

But mostly I've been playing my Nintendo DS. Mild spoilers from Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks ahead, but nothing you can't gather from the trailer or the back of the box.





To be fair, Zelda isn't quite as annoying as I make her out to be. Her actions make sense for her character and she only improves as the game continues. But... seriously, Nintendo. Rats? Seriously?

But Phantom-Back jousting HEALS ALL WOUNDS.

The Project(s)

Alas! Every time I think I am clear to concentrate on my work, I am set upon by distractions - both the painfully mundane and the marvelously inspired.

Don't think that my silence here is evidence of lackadaisical activity on my part! Take a look at some of the bold undertakings I've attempted since the last post.

That's right. I. Made. Gingerbread houses!



There are really only two of them. I drew the door-and-windows designs on first, figuring I could just make another one on the other side if I messed up.

That's why there are two houses, but four fronts.



They're nothing fancy, just kit-made. Which is means that while they're technically edible, they're totally inedible.



I had real difficulty finding kits, too. In fact I wound up getting these at a craft store.



I'm very proud of the results.

But, what's the point of gingerbread if you can't eat it? Sooooooo....



...COOKIES! I'm not much of a baker, or of a decorator, but these were delicious. Thank you, box mix!



The blurry makes them extra tasty.



I was considering the possibility of using Gingerbread Men as messengers, given that they are considered impossible to outrun. But in the end... just too delicious.

But lest you think I've been frittering all of my time away on ginger-related year end festivities, I think it's well enough time to let you in on a little other project I've been working on. Something involving... cameras. And not photographic cameras, but... video cameras!

I'm talking, of course, about-

The number of the Robot Beast is... Thirteen.

Phew! It's been a while. I hate to report that my NaNoWriMo attempt hasn't received much more love and attention than this blog, but it is so. I've been greatly distracted by other endeavors. I'll give you a hint- it involves cameras.

But, enough of that for now!

Time flies when you're gritting your teeth in frustration.

I apologize for the absence, there was some moving of lairs and taking on of additional projects that has slowed me down considerably.

But that doesn't mean nothing has been happening. See?

We are at the cusp of a new age! An an age of... MULTIPLE minions!

Ha ha! That Mr. 13. He's such a lamb!

'The Time', previously referenced, has come! Of a sort.

And THAT catches you up.

Original thread is here, if you care. I enjoy looking back at it because of the texture added by the reactions of others. And perhaps that will, or won't, explain a few in-jokes.

But enough of this! Soon we will be striking out into bold, NEW territory!
