She grew up.

Chapter:
Characters: ,

It’s hard to draw anymore, working from home has left me burnt out and hating my computer. In the off chance I get off early enough, and my computer isn’t tied up rendering late into the night, I’d rather spend what little time I have of away from this screen.

Dilly had her first day of school on monday. Looking around at all the other parents was the first time I’ve ever felt like an adult.

I work too much and need to stop. I’ve already missed too much, I’m sorry dilly.

Stubbs

Chapter:
Characters: , ,

My son is old enough now that I feel guilty not having him in any of these. The original idea started before he was even a thought in our future but it’s time to add Stubbs in. Works getting slow again so I was actually able to do this before the sun went down. It’s a nice and yet concerning thing to have a free evening.

I’m behind on spooky comics.

I’m working on a wrap for a friend’s old tv and I’m stuck on a portion. I tried to get it done before going back to comics but it’s taking too long. I need to get that thing done so I can finish a tale of sails. Both projects are just lingering and gnawing at my motivation to do anything else, and now extra work is starting to creep back in. I liked having a week with no second job.

Boardgames Anonymous Update

Chapter:
Characters:

I actually managed to talk myself out of the Twilight Imperium expansion. The only reason I want to get it is just to say I have it. It will absolutely never get learned or played. So that’s great and all but that left a hole my compulsive brain needed to fill, which it did. Immediately. I’ve managed to skip almost all the Arkham Horror LCG expansion’s, though Carcosa is tempting, but The Innsmouth Conspiracy slithered it’s way into my brain. Something about the cold and damp gets too me.

Unfortunately this is choice cost’s more, so that’s, just, great. Scooby Doo is ready for Hallowistmukah night though so that’s going to be fun, I think dilly will like the stories, we’ll find out.

Boardgames Anonymous

Chapter:
Characters:

I’m out of room on my shelf and there are still pre-ordered games coming in the mail. I need to stop watching boardgame reviews, that’s what gets me. I can read a review and not care, but seeing it in motion tricks my brain. As is, seeds that will sprout sooner or later have already been planted. Of course I need to buy a sequel to two games I’ve barely started. And an expansion to a game I’ve only half played once? Immediate purchase. When will these even get played this year?

Irony.

I did not feel like doing anymore work today when I sat down. This will be my first weekend even sort of off in 3 weeks so my brain has shut down. In shutting down my brain still took the same length of time to get this one done as if I’d done a more elaborate one. The feeling is still correct.

Out of gas

Chapter:
Characters:

After 23 days the crunch is done, I feel bad for game developers doing that all the time. Since I haven’t had a day off in so long, my brain keeps thinking its friday. That makes it very hard to be motivated on what should be a day off. I’m going to step away from my computer and read one of the unread books that are collecting dust on the shelf.

Solo game nights

Chapter:
Characters:

I enjoy playing solo games. Only playing solo games however is a depressing solution to quarantine. Yes yes I know you can play online a variety of ways there is just something lacking in execution. I play for interaction with people way more than I realized.

I’m also trying a better 4 panel layout for on the site. It definitely needs a better workflow.

Lazy ham and potato soup

Chapter:
Characters: ,

Here is where I post a four page monologue on my soup discovery interspersed with ads rather not unlike a rather prolific nose. This is interrupted abruptly with a subtle and quite completely unavoidable warning that you must join to see the ingredients. With deep regret you choose to accept the lopsided agreement and are finally shown the three step recipe; of which the commentators leave such remarks as “added 4 cups of salt, this recipe is way to salty, 0 stars.” and “I burned my house down because I fell asleep it smelled so delicious!!!  3 stars” while nonetheless not following the directions.

The recipe is up there, just look at the picture.
