"Happy Birthday to Mama Daniels!" Tuesday May 22nd, 2007

I hope you enjoyed today's comic. I was of the mind that most people would've guessed VanBrocklin was Wrath, but I had a bunch of people put up a good case for Wrath turning out to be Jules. In the end though, it was the Kawasaki High School superstar who's career was derailed by Tom Brisket. Is Dawson really petty enough to seek the destruction of mankind because Tom kicked his ass in football? Maybe. If you know me though by now, you'll know that I wouldn't cheese out on you like that. What you know for sure is that Dawson VanBrocklin is obviously here to kick ass and chew some bubblegum and he's so very out of bubblegum. Tom can't catch a break can he? If it's not one guy gunning for his neck it's another...

This fight will continue next Monday/Tuesday as there will be no comic on Thursday/Friday due to Rob coming down from Syracuse to visit me here on the Island which is Long. It should be fun times indeed. Not fun times for all of you since you won't have a comic so I apologize. I'll let you know how our adventures go this weekend in the next comic update.

A few announcements I wanted to pass along... my friend Kris is expecting his first child soon and I wanted to say congrats to the man and his family. Even though he's an A's fan, we're pretty tight and I'm happy as hell for him since he went through a similar experience I went through around this time last year. Unlike me though he managed to get through it, find a wonderful girl, and then start a family. So much luck to him and his clan of kids who's arms are their legs and their legs are their arms.

I also wanted to wish my moms a Happy Birthday. She got a cell phone for mother's day and a porcelain dog for her birthday. This is my family.

And here is a new webcomic I just recently found if you are interested in such things. Candi is a nice slice of life college comic. I just think it's clever and well written. Despite some of the obviously crazy hijinks these kids find themselves in, a lot of the humor rings true if you've been to college and lived in some shared housing unit. I'm not saying it's the next MacHall, but it is an enjoyable read and very clever at times.

Also I'm not sure if I like the new Avril album. It's a fair bit different in tone compared to her first two albums. I'm going to hold off judgment for a few more weeks because sometimes these albums need to grow on me like NFG's Coming Home. One thing that I need to mention is the song "Everything Back But You". All I can say is that if you wanted to know what Sum 41 would sound like if Avril was the lead singer and not Deryck, you now have your answer. From the opening pop punkish riff to the punctuated-shouted chorus part screams Sum 41. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just pointing it out is all.

I think that's it for now. I will now let you resume with your week in progress and will see you next week. Have a great Memorial Day weekend for all of you in the States.
