Getting out.

Chapter:
Characters:

It had been a while since I last cleaned my computer case. When I reassembled everything and tried rebooting, the computer got stuck in a loop. As I stared at the screen not wanting to spend any money at the moment the computer finally rebooted at the bios screen. I got everything reset and restarted from there and figgured why not figure out the video card problem I’ve been having. Two of the display ports quit working for some reason and the rift was attached to on of them. I haven’t used it in a while so I just left it sitting off. once I got the video card working and tested the headset I forgot how well it could trick you into being somewhere else. Isolation just got a little more manageable and depressing at the same time.

I’m sorry Dilly.

Chapter:
Characters:

I have gone through the 7 stages of grief over the last two weeks but had come to terms with the new normal on monday. Then today happened. I got kicked back to the start of the process. I never thought when I started Dinke and Dilly it would become a journal of a pandemic. The next two weeks are going to be rough I think. At least a Tale of Sails is figured out through the end, I may just run through them.

Target

Chapter:
Characters:

I miss target, though I have realized 2 things in the time we’ve been apart. The first is I didn’t realize how often we went to target to just putz around when we were bored. I’ll be a target walker instead of a mall walker when I get old. The second thing I realized is that I spend too much money when I walk around target bored. It’s the perfect trap.

X files and Kings Falls.

Chapter:
Characters: ,

Settling into the work from home schedule leaves me needing some noise so I finally started King Falls AM. I remember finding it on while browsing some spooky thread around halloween. I like it quite a bit so far. I really liked the artwork and wanted to do a take on it while I was listening.

March 11, 2020 Afternoon headlines.

Chapter:
Characters:

I know today is supposed to be a tale of sails but today’s afternoon news is so over the top I couldn’t do anything else. This has to be one of those historic news kind of days. Jan 28, 1986 – Challenger explodes on lift off. Mar 11, 2020 Coronavirus explodes across the world. I should get the papers with these headlines in the morning, this feels like something to hang on to.This was only the stories that weren’t based on “says two sources”, good lord those are even worse.

Paranoia

Chapter:
Characters:

Watching the news makes the Coronavirus feel like the tracking of a hurricane that’s slowly getting refined until the remaining paths range from pretty bad to “hold on to your butts” bad. You can’t talk about it without sounding crazy but watching the same pattern play out one after another how else should you react when you see your home city begin step two of the pattern.

“You guys think we should start working from home now to be safe since they’re probably going to announce it in 10 days anyway?”

“This is all being blown out of proportion, don’t fall for it”

I hope they are right, and I am wrong. If I am I will update this comic with a message that foil hats were the solution the whole time.

Seafood?

Chapter:
Characters: ,

I was just about to start telling Dilly not to show her food when she eats when I remembered I was the one that taught her. At that point I kinda just laughed and told her not to do it in public for now. Stupid past me always causing current me problems.

Uncle T didn’t have o return the favor.
