Cool webcomic,

poor champ. or is it action? i don’t know, maybe he thought it was a director shouting

regardless, action champ walkaway has caused a lot of trouble in his action hero days on and off set

 

a long long time ago i had a cop parody called “hard action squad” that performed the hardest tasks known to law enforcement. i always wanted to come back to them, so i’ve resurrected them here

the guy in the sleeveless tee is james “john” castle

the guy with the tie is johnny “james” rook

When I lived out near Boston I liked to visit the New England Aquarium. They have a super cool coral reef tank in the center of the building. It’s a giant cylinder with a spiral pedestrian ramp that coils up to the top. Although the penguin exhibit adjacent to that was pretty memorable as well. They have a big flashlight mounted on a pole that projected a little glowing fish. You get to swivel it around and the penguins will go chasing after it. Clearly penguins and cats are closely related.

Today’s Biff is swept away.

I’m always fascinated when I come across a tree that had something attached to it many years ago and is in the process of swallowing it. At more than a few parks I’ve seen trees with little embedded plaques on them describing what kind of tree it is you are looking at. A tree growing through a chain-link fence can look like a freeze frame of liquid wood being squirted through it. One day as a kid I was walking around with the post from a garage sale sign pretending it was a sword. I sliced it into the crotch of a two-legged tree and left it there. I was quite surprised to come across that tree years later to find the ends of my sword poking out of either side of the tree trunk that had nearly  swallowed it whole.

Today’s Biff is flakey.

heh heh… figures when you’ve got your nose buried so deep in your electric doodads you don’t look where you’re going! when i was your age we didn’t have ipods and ipads and ithis and ithat. we had woolen bowties so you knew who was decent and who was a no-account hoodlum

I have a heavy duty dust mask that I keep on my desk and almost always remember to put it on before doing something that would trigger my dust allergies. I get hit pretty fast if I start rummaging around under tables or behind boxes without the mask. I recently slipped up right before going to bed. It turn out that it’s really hard to brush your teeth and sneeze at the same time.

we’ve all been here: someone bought you cool rare earth magnets for your bar mitzvah and you hadda go and eat two of them

ain’t you read the warnings!! they’ll pinch your guts, send you packing to the hospital! anyway don’t follow any of the advice in this strip

i think it’d go something like this

gay joke, semi-self-aware racism masquerading as joke, man falling down, man falling down

what is the obsession with more and more star wars bro-parodies from family guy and robot chicken, is there any moment in star wars canon that hasn’t been fully dissected yet? they can’t be doing jokes about the prequels too, can they? they’re already parodies of star wars

So that it doesn’t become vandalized, I’ve instead decided to provide the information as un-editable. But hey, you can still make your own with this as a starting place. It’s here.

A special public service announcement from your friends at The System. By the way if this comic looks familiar, it ran as part of an article on ZDnet thanks to Systemic SkawtNYC, who is now a blogger over there. I reformat and sometimes write him comics for his blog posts, which has been great to invite people over to the site. If you’re coming over because of that, hello! Otherwise you should check out his blog here, it’s pretty interesting stuff.

Remember, I’ll be at InterventionCon this coming weekend with many goods for sale. Be sure to stop by my table and say hi, even if you don’t plan on purchasing anything. If you find me at the con, be sure to let me know that you’ve already read the comic. Current readers get free stuff! The secret password is “tacos”.

For that matter, I’ll be on a few events as part of SUPER ART FIGHT which we’re doing as part of the con. The confirmed events so far are our full live event on Saturday and an “after dark” SAF show that night that is sure to be interesting, and R-rated in nature. We’re letting Noguchi use all his 4-letter words, so that will not be something to miss. Be sure to come see those too!

i didn’t do a very good job a few months ago, hopefully i can make up for it. this does promise to be the best pax ever even if i do break all my body parts into fragments

come see me in bandland this weekend if you’re going!!!

i’ll be on the following panels:

When I was a kid water slides were a rare thing that you had to drive many miles find. I mainly saw them when on vacation in places like Florida. Now I see them all over. The local pool has a bunch and I even see them at some hotels I pass on the highway. The ones that I had access to were just standard slides you would see on a playground but there just happened to be water at the bottom.

say what you want, he does a great job containing leased offices

Neat little sketches documenting a dude’s flight from the US to Germany. Anyone knows the artist? I would like to give him proper credit.

Update – The artist is: Christoph Niemann

Our little dog doesn’t get to run much. We don’t have a fenced in yard and so when we take her out on a leash it’s for a nice leisurely walk. Unless there is a giant bumblebee dive bombing my head. Then I will make an exception and take the dog on a blisteringly fast and erratic through many of our neighbor’s yards.
