Comix Week Is Canceled
My comix week was scheduled to start next week, but I just don't have the time for it.
I have too much going on these days, and I haven't really been in contact with anyone who expressed an interest in contributing (and who I assume are also very busy).
If and when I'm able to do this (and I'd like to -- it's a cool idea, I think) I'll let you know.
If you have already drawn (or intend to draw) ideas I have already given you, I'd still love to get them, and will happily publish them when I do finally get around to the week.
Realistically, it will probably be some time after the holidays.
Love,
Splotchy

Eargasm Track Listing!
Hi, I am getting ready to attempt to assemble the delicious new Green Monkey Mix Eargasm, helmed by the lovely Barbara.
It appears that two people picked the same song that gave them an eargasm. Allison, since you chose the song after it had already been picked, would it be okay for you come up with an alternate song to (Antichrist Television Blues)?
Bubs has been very busy, but I have confidence he will be able to submit his choices to Barbara before tomorrow's arbitrary deadline. Until then, he's going to have to explain why he likes Classical Gas so much.

Yes, Google, How May I Help You?
I am a stats whore. I look at my stats.
This happens every once in a while.
I'm guessing it's some spider bot that Google just sends a-wanderin', and nobody at Google actually gives a damn about my blog.
Or, I guess maybe they *do* care enough to send the spiders.
I would just like to say that if it's *me* sending spider robots, it won't be because I like you -- it will be because we are mortal enemies, and I will stop nothing until you are obliterated from this reality.
SUCK ON THIS!

Want Whiter Teeth?
No, but I do like shoving lights in my mouth, so I suppose I will buy this product anyways.
