So, looks like I’m back for the time being. I got bored with my philosophy paper and made this short one-panel comic in the meantime. Yeah, it’s formulaic, and most of you won’t get it. Rather, most of you will get it. I guess that depends on how well my total readership knows me personally.

Finally, I have finished the Awkward Third Comic Saga. Yes, I did wrap it up a little more hurriedly than I expected, but I didn’t want to let this project creep into the Fall Semester. There will be no further updates until September at the earliest, but I DO intend to return. So, no worries.

Have a pleasant summer.

Explanation: “Cabernet Voltaire” and “Fizzle Pop” are (or were) comics in the Brown Daily Herald. The artist of “Cabernet Voltaire” is named Abe Pressman. It’s a funny comic, but it appears to be drawn by a retarded chimpanzee.

Presently, the comic will take a decidedly inside-joke kind of direction. Fortunately, the only people who read this are privy to those kinds of jokes. If this comic is being followed by people who are not… Well, it’s more popular than I realized.

Good news, everyone! Awkward Third Wheel is back with a cereal adventure… I mean, serial adventure.

Dammit, now I want Golden Grahams.

To be continued, y’all… Have a great Spring Break!

Happy President’s Day, y’all. I’m sorry for the long delay in postings. I don’t foresee a lot of updates in the immediate future. I’m letting the idea pot stew for a little while.

So, yeah: Saturday was Valentine’s Day, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only man on earth who spent the greater part of it in a downward spiral of self-loathing and cynicism…

Meme Time

This one may require a little explanation. On Facebook, a particularly popular meme (sometimes called “quizzes” or “personality tests” for no apparent reason) that has spread is the “25 Random Facts” meme. The rules are simple: If a friend tags you, write a note containing twenty-five random facts that most people would not know about you. Then, tag twenty-five of your friends, who are supposed to repeat the process. The problem with this meme is that twenty-five is a very large number, and unless you give yourself an hour or so to recall some particularly good facts, you’ll end up with a vapid, generic meme. Or, you might tread the path of our main character, who spills a little too much information…
