Happy Independence Day to my American friends! To my British friends… Happy Colonial Burden Freedom Day!
I lost my own father many, many years ago, but if I could have him back as a brain in a jar with a speaker? I totally would! We could talk and… talk. That’s pretty much it.
Does Bezuel really deserve a hug? See how Star Maiden’s memory of her relationship with her father may be a little… off, right here!
Everybody enjoying their summer? This has seemed like an especially busy one. For both me and for Marc. My wife and I are taking our first real vacation together in a long, long time next week and I could not be more excited. Medical bills and kids and kids with issues have kept us away from any trip longer than a couple of days for years now.
So, next week, we take off. First stop: COMIC-CON! This year, Th3rd World Studios will have a booth (M-13 in the Small Press Area) and I’ll be there on Friday and Saturday. I’ll have SF books for sale and I might be persuaded to turn out a free sketch or two. I hope if you’re there you’ll stop on by to at least say hi. That’s the best part of any Con.
From there, Erin and I are just going to relax. For a solid week. Marc needs a similar break, so the SuperFogeys hitatus will begin July 13 and run through July 22. New strips will resume on July 23. Everybody got that? Cool.
I’m not going to formally ask for guest strips to run during the hiatus, HOWEVER, if you’d like to send one along between now and the 13th (a small window, I know), I’d be more than happy to run it (provided it meets the usual standards of good taste).
Thanks in advance for your understanding!
I almost feel like Bezuel’s next line is “Exterminate!” over and over again.
LOL that would be awesome!
I lost my father just recently. He was athletic before his cancer and enjoying eating and therefore would NOT appreciate being a brain in a jar.
On a more analytical note, how badly scrambled is Star Maiden’s brain? Is original flavour hidden away somewhere, who’s just sitting back, shaking her head and saying “Heck NO I’m not dealing with all this crap!”
Not enough hugs from her father is what turned her evil in the first place.
Brock when I read your post about he can talk..and talk, I had the Simpsons episode of Troy singing in the planet of the apes “he can talk, he can talk.” “HE CAN SING!!!” go through my mind and it made me giggle.
Aww, it’s nice to see Star getting some love from Swifty after all this time.
