A four-panel black-and-white comic by Madscott. The recurring bearded man interacts throughout with a small boxy robot — roughly the size of a toaster — that speaks only in nonsense beep words. Panel 1: The robot says "Bleep bop" and the man, looking startled, replies "Oh hi, I was just leaving." Panel 2: The robot says "Beep florp" and the man stares at it wide-eyed, responding "Wow, you're the entire internet." Panel 3: The robot faces away, emitting a dejected "Borp..." while the man asks "And how's that working out for you?" Panel 4: The robot says "Boop" and the man, now leaning in with a sympathetic expression, responds across three bubbles: "Ouch, I can see how that could suck," "Maybe you need a new hobby?" and "Maybe knitting." The comic personifies the internet as a small, weary machine having a rough time — and the man's sincere suggestion of knitting as a therapeutic outlet lands as a warmly absurd act of kindness.

Hobby

Have you tried a new hobby... not the old one.. a new one.

Yes I’m awake

So springcon was awesome. I tabled next to the fine folks over at Hollow. Got to talk to old friends and even sold a few things. Now I just need a nap, then I can do comics.

Snow

I have been resisting the urge to complain about the snow. Today seems like a good day to complain though because I think we’re at the end of it. Last night we had another snow storm and it dropped roughly 6 inches of snow. Wet.. Heavy.. Deep.. snow. I normally (this late in the season) ignored the snow and let it melt on its own. This though was so thick and wet I even had a tough time plowing the snow. To add insult to injury on the news last night they pointed out that in April we have had more snow then any other month this season. UGH!

I both hate and love April Fools day

For a number of years I didn’t even pay attention to April Fools Day. I’m just not into fooling people I guess. I love a good gag and I respect people who can pull off a clever stunt but too many times a April Fools day joke that sounds good in planning becomes a wreck on execution. So far today I have only see the cute kinds of April Fools Day gags but I feel the need to possibly stay off the internet today.

Hats!

So I have been spending my drawing time being horrible. I started loom knitting. I will have a few of these for sale and have plans to stop looming so I can prep for the up coming shows. I want to give you a sample of my hats though. green and black knit hat Pink with Black Skull knit hat
