Gift Receipt - A Holiday Interruption
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Hi friends! A new comic is here to oogle and gafaw upon. Please do one at a time as doing both at once could be dangerous. It is a brief interlude from the epic tree tales we’ve had lately. Don’t worry, the tree will be back very soon. Or not. Kind of sick of the tree so I hope it goes away.

Today’s Comic Superstar:Â Cap’n Nobeard!
Funny and intelligent don’t always go together. But once in a billion they do and you get a cool person that is slying subverting your viewpoint. Cap’N is just that sort of zany person I think we all wish we grew up with. And then had weekly adventures. Thanks for your intelligent humor and wit!

I hope you had/are having a wonderful winter holiday of your religious flavor. Did you? Did your religious or social norms eek out a fun gift?
Mine sure did. My wonderful mom got me a light which thinks it is the sun, but it is still really a light. But in theory it will cheer you up. So go light! And there were many other neat things like a picture frame that is actually a monitor, and a tiny Wii statue which is actually a giftcard. Come to think of it most of my gifts were masquerading around as other things as I opened them.
I’m beginning to doubt the clothes or books I received are really what the seem. Perhaps the clothes are really books and the books are clothes, and when I read I’ll look silly with my face mashed up close trying to decipher a sweater in the light.
As far as a gift giver, I failed. All gift cards purchased in a frantic rush due to the avalanche that is self-employment. I’m trying to pull it in a bit now so I can breathe and draw again. I like these things. (Blog tip #186: Take a stand. ie, I like breathing!) I did buy a trip for Hawaii for my stunning bride but this was more as an offering to goddess then a friendly giving gesture. The gods can get angry from time to time.
Here are a few early new years resolutions for the comic:
- I want to post art everyday. Even if it is just a sketch or random idea.
- I’d like to share a book I’m reading every week. I have a pile literally 4 feet high next to my desk I next to conquer possibly publicly.
- I’d also like to share a page from the big Pixelton Graphic Novel in early form each week.
- Get a regular posting schedule again because this month has been harsh without your kind ideas!
- Anything else you’d like to see/hear/laugh with? I’d love to hear it.
The book is coming along so well it has been hard to work on the web comics. I’m very proud of it. It is the best thing I’ve ever touched by a lifetime. Go self-actualization too! (See Blog tip#186)
I may also quit playing games for a few months as I really beginning to fear I am addicted. Normally I make fun of this particular line, but since it is my own I can only stare impotently. Hrm. But after beating all of Orange Box, Mass Effect, Halo 3, COD4, Bioshock, Guitar Hero 3 and many others, I have to admit real life is slightly less interesting. I won’t even touch Mario as I beat Sunshine with almost all stars in less than 24 hours, so I know I will be absorbed in total into its’ bliss.
Enough blah blah - thanks so much for reading! I hope you have a great holidays and a wonderful intro to the new year!
Full of animation and activity,
