I really don't understand the appeal of using animal noises as ringtones.
Or any noise that isn't either a ring or a song of some sort. A friend
of mine has a ringtone of a woman screaming. That's not exactly
something I want going off in my pocket while in the line at the
supermarket. I also don't want a cat meowing; or a horse neighing; or a
man sticking his key in the ignition of his Toyota and turning it ever
so gently, only to discover that his truck may not want to start today.
He gives it a second, knowing that good things come with time, and then
proceeds to turn it again, only to be met again with the "wah wah
wah" of the defiant starter. He curses under his breath, this being
an appropriately fitting ending to a monumentally terrible day. In a way
he was glad. His current auto troubles were delaying the inevitable
argument that will arise when he informs his wife that the company
decided his services were no longer needed. Closing his eyes and
pressing his forehead against the wheel, he mutters a silent prayer as
he turns his key for the third and perhaps final time. His vehicle kicks
to life and life goes on for one more day.
I
don't want that as my ringtone.
I
haven't updated my blog in quite some time. I've been swamped with work,
so while I'm making excuses to never do said work, it just doesn't make
sense to do a blog entry when I have all this work I need to do.
I'm
going to change my blog format. I don't mean the layout; that's going to
remain the same for the time being. I mean I'm going to be writing less
and less standard entries and trying to do more fiction. I realize that
after doing this it won't be a blog per se, but I'll still do the
occasional "blog style" entry, so it's not a complete lie.

Some non-artist types don’t realize how much work goes into a comic
strip or page. My friend
nick exploded with confusion and amazement when I told him that it takes
a professional comic artist a day to complete only 1 to 2 pages
(that’s just the pencils).
That being said…I have failed you all.
I had a whole week to complete a measly eight panels yet I was
terribly late. I must
apologize to the fans. I
am sorry to the both of you. I
will be taking steps to prevent this from happening in the future even
if it kills me.
Yours in Christ
