And Don't Even Get Me Started On Max and Ruby

Seriously, is it that hard to make Rocket fly? It flies. Why are the crawling through the woods being stopped by wildlife? Why is a blue jet giving them so much trouble? I mean, that would be an excellent time to teach kids about super sonic flight.

Oh well. Kids will be kids.

In more interesting news, it seems folks are finding their way back to the site. Every day I keep getting more and more people welcoming me back and saying how well the new strip is going. As I always tell them, it's good to be cartooning again, and better yet to know I was missed.

I love making you guys laugh and entertaining you. It always makes a creative person feel good to know what they make strikes a chord with others. I guess there are more nerd parents out there than I anticipated. And Wii owners. And people sensitive about their comedy sci-fi cartoons. And Civil War buffs.

Well, welcome one and all!

As a fun side project, I created my first ever little video tutorial. It's a short video on making comic word balloons with Adobe Photoshop. You can find it posted here on youTube (in high resolution even).

As a little youTube tip, you can watch any video on youTube in high definition be adding &fmt=18 to the end of the URL (as you can see on the video I posted).

This is just a quick tutorial test, but I hope to do more that cover tools, tips, tricks and even an in depth "how I do the strip" series. But for now, it will be baby steps as I move towards a global multimedia empire! Muaahahahaahahaha! *ahem*

Oh, and in "Great Minds Think Alike" news ... as I was working on Monday's strip on Sunday evening, the folks int he InkTank forums started up a conversation covering exactly what I was drawing and writing about. Them not having seen the strip, and me not having visited the forums.

We are the InkTank Hive Mind.

Cool, huh?

Hive Mind..you mean like in CoH? ;)

As for the strip: "Little Pinheads"..seriously I honestly laughed out loud to the point where my husband was looking at me rather oddly. (I'll show him what I was laughing about after this comment.)

Honestly though? Max and Ruby isn't too horrible..have you been subjected to Angelina Ballerina yet? (I have 2 boys...it was an odd day when they chose to watch that show...*twitch*)

Also...what is wrong with the cartoon creators today? Chowder? .. and some other horribly drawn cartoon about a whale. *augh* I'd rather my kids watch Spongebob.

It was...eerie(and not Indiana). I was waiting for you to post a youtube video of you telling me "Resistance is futile" while a clip of my living room was playing in the background.

Seriously, where'd you hide the cameras? ;p~

I let my son watch Tom & Jerry, Macross, Blue's Clues, Speed Racer, Iron Man, Shining Time Station(now called Thomas & Friends), etc...you know, the good stuff!

OH, let me tell you about Max and Ruby, Jack! WTF? Where the hell are their parents? Ruby: Caring Older Sister or Forced to Grow Up Too Soon? Also, does she not LISTEN to her brother? ARGH!

(the previous was brought to you by the Stay-At-Home Stressed-out Dad Network)

On a more normal note, I'm glad you're back doing webcomics. Good show.
