A four-panel black-and-white comic strip labeled "MADSCOTT" in the top right, credited to SCOTTGALLATIN.COM in the bottom left. Bold cartoon style with halftone dot shading. Panel 1 (top left): Scott, the bearded man, gestures openly with one hand and a wry expression, his speech bubble reading "THIS IS NOT A SURPRISE BUT…" Panel 2 (top right): A small figure — Scott — stands alone in a flat landscape surrounded by heavy, low-hanging clouds rolling in from all sides, with a speech bubble reading "I AM ONCE AGAIN EXISTING IN A SOCIETAL FOG." No features are visible on the figure, emphasizing the isolation. Panel 3 (bottom left): A tiny boat sails on open water toward a large iceberg, with a speech bubble reading "AT ANY POINT I MAY CRASH HEADLONG INTO AN ICEBERG." Panel 4 (bottom right): A close-up of Scott's face, wearing a determined but resigned half-smile, with a speech bubble reading "IT'S LIKE I'M PLAYING HAPPY MUSIC ON A SINKING SHIP."

Fog

It's not a surprise, just a fog, an iceberg, and a really good attitude about all of it. What song are YOU playing on the sinking ship right 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. msp comiccon

Fall Cleaning

Posted on October 27, 2014 by Scott
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.
