This weekend I got to visit the merry old land of Winnipeg. It was a great weekend for being there as well. I had been leery because the previous weekend was apparently snowy, but this weekend was pure goodness weatherwise. Just some of the things the weekend gave to me: Experience in navigating corn mazes, a chance to see District 9 in a theatre for cheap, seeing a building with Louis Riel’s name on it and just generally adding to the number of places in this world that I’ve been lucky enough to see. (Oh, and I got to hang out in the company of two cool people). Not bad.
Having spent my weekend with travel, I didn’t get a chance to make a new Adventure Dennis as I might have done. In its place I’ve dug up Abominable Hairman vs. Thompson, a flash cartoon from Contains2 and put it back on the Internet where it belongs.
I have just uploaded the latest chapter of Adventure Dennis. It is worth noting that that rounds out my average to one level for every year since I started making Adventure Dennis. That is, of course, pathetic. I am hoping to actually finish the thing off over the next few months, so maybe I will be able to get that average up to 1.5 a year. Hooray!
Haiku!
In these troubled times,
There will come a unique man.
He will eat a moon.
In other news, I have been reading the Iliad and it is taking me FOREVER. I mean, getting through Don Quixote actually took most of a year, I think, so the two months I have been at the Iliad are paltry in comparison, but for the last year I had been working through about a book a week. It might help if I read at home instead of just at free moments at work and on buses and what not, but I have the Internet at home. Productivity just ain’t gonna happen.
Also, ducks should have a species of fish that helps them out. That would be real teamwork.
That’s all.
Since I know that the odds of Contains2 ever being fully up and running again are pretty low, I have begun putting up a Comics section here on this site which can now be reached from above. I am in the process of making sure all my old material is here, but I’m taking my time so we can expect it to be pretty ugly for a while yet.
But I will also finally be creating new comics. That might sound unlikely at first given the track record I have for actual work on this site lately, but I have managed to make a new level for my Adventure Dennis comic, all of which can be seen here.
More new things shall follow.
