A four-panel black-and-white comic strip in bold cartoon style with halftone diagonal line shading. Scott and his bald round-headed friend are the two characters. Panel 1 (top left): Scott stands alone holding a small piece of paper — clearly just a tiny scrap — looking at it with wide, emotional eyes, his speech bubble reading "UNBELIEVABLE." Panel 2 (top right): His friend approaches and asks "WHAT'S WRONG?" Scott responds "JUST LOOKING AT THE NEWSPAPER." The scrap of paper in his hand is visibly tiny. Panel 3 (bottom left): The friend eyes the minuscule paper skeptically, bubble reading "THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE TEARS." Scott responds defensively: "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND." Panel 4 (bottom right): Scott holds up the tiny scrap with a pained expression, delivering the punchline through two bubbles: "WITH EVERYTHING HAPPENING TODAY" and "THIS IS THE ENTIRE NEWSPAPER."

I know that not many people even look anymore but the newspaper is about 4 pages now.

May is coming!

What used to be called SpringCon is now MSP ComicCon (I liked springcon better). I always feel like I’m caught off guard. This is good for you though because it’s a motivating factor to me getting off my ass and putting comics up.

Fall Cleaning

If you live somewhere warm you likely have spring cleaning events where you shake off winter and prepare for a glorious summer. In Wackapoodle Wisconsin we have a different tradition Fall Panic. This event happens shortly after the first good frost when you have to scrape your windshield for the first time this season. It’s when you realize that all of the mess you made in the garage over the summer is preventing you from parking your cars inside where they will stay warm-ish.

I spent a big part of Sunday working on cleaning up my garage. I’ve done a half ass job the last few years. I’ve piled things up. I’ve avoided throwing things out. I honestly can say that the collected amount of dirt I found was disgusting. I did manage to improve on a work bench. The bucket system I use for holding tools can now stack on a shelf rather then get kicked across the floor. The extra siding for the house is now in the rafters. I have started a pile of junk in the middle of the room and I’m honestly not sure I have enough garbage cans to get it all out at once.

I’ll have to take photos of it once I’m done. I’d take a before picture but it’s honestly embarrassing.
