Running Silent....

Just so you know, the reason the Blog's been more silent than usual is that I've had a houseguest for the past week or so. The whole thing's been a blast, what with me playing "Berlin Tour Guide" all over the place and I will be putting together an illustrated guide to Berlin (or at least have an excuse to draw some of the less charming but funny crap that goes on in this city). I've been a busy monkey...or something like that. It's seriously messing with the whole nocturnal routine I had going on.

Next week I kick my houseguest the hell out of here and life returns to normal. So until then, enjoy a random doodle that I haven't posted on the main site because you never know who wants to sue you. (Or it just isn't that funny):

By the way, if you're one of the sickos that enjoyed the "Nightmare Fuel" page, be on the lookout: Part of my recent tour of Berlin included my first trip to the "Erotic Museum" of Berlin. You have no idea how traumatizing it is to look at pornography from the dawn of man in a museum environment. Still, it did teach me that the Japanese have been kinky little bastards for a very, very, very long time. I hate to say it, but the Nightmare Fuel section is going to be getting its first article soon. I don't know if that's a good thing.

Talk to you guys later,

P.S.: The Webcomic Telethon thing is over and, with all the last-minute participants, ended up being a much bigger thing than what was expected. While the $34,000 goal wasn't reached (that's the amount that webcomics raised so that some comic-convention could still continue), you really have to blame the fact that EVERYONE has been taking donations for the Red Cross over the past two weeks and the sheer fact that a bunch of webcomic folks (plus tiny people like me) had a part in raising over $28,000 is still pretty grand.

The telethon did introduce me to the "Webcomic Industry" or the community or whatever the hell you want to call it. More on that later....all the weird/good/terrible/tacky/awesome crap that I've been exposed to over the past week or so needs time to digest.
