Quality Control

It should be considered common sense to not mess with buttons and switches that you don't know the function of (or even some that you do know the function of).  This goes double if it's a random, unlabeled switch, triple if you don't possess opposable thumbs, and quadruple if you're in a TV show, film, book, or offbeat comic blog, as most writers will find it a perfect opportunity to implement Murphy's Law.  Best not to risk it. 

Context Won't Help

Over the years, my parents have bugged me and my siblings to spend more time outside.  But every time we do, they start eyeing the psychiatrist section of the yellow pages.  It's very confusing. 

Nom, Nom

AKA, what happens when I make a last-ditch attempt to finish a cartoon before I pass out.  Right, then.  Passing out now. 

Let the Sunshine In

Let's see.  Far away from home?  Check.  Inhospitable environment?  Check.  Marshmallows and a fire?  Check.  Sounds like camping to me.  Even if the fire in question is a few thousand degrees hotter than the usual kind. 

Fun fact:  Marshmallows expand quite a lot in a vacuum.  But don't try to do the same thing with a human being.  It gets messy. 

Happy August!

Another month, another Birthstone Unicorn.  (Poppies!  Poppies will make them sleep...)  Maybe now that I'm on a break from school, I can get some sleep too.  Unless, of course, I'm up at dark A.M. drawing cartoons for a certain offbeat comic blog.... 

And Miles to Go Before They Sleep

Behold, the ultimate test of patience.  It's going to be a long drive to uncle Vlad's castle.
