Happy birthday to Studs Terkel, Journalist, Chicagoan.

I saw a zombie using a cellphone today, so I made a quick sketch of {{popup zombie_on_cellphone.gif zombie_on_cellphone 348×300}}him.

I need to cheer a friend up. Can you help me?
–You could try sending a comic strip from Ucomics.com. They have like a hundred sindicated strips available. One of my faves is Tom the Dancing Bug.

Another one is Doonesbury. It’s gotten kinda heavy since BD got his leg blown off in Iraq. Unfortunately Ucomics won’t let you view strips older than two weeks anymore, those bastards. So go to the library. Or, look here.

Another great strip is this modern world, and another is Ted Rall.

If you are looking for something so absurd it is no longer funny, look here.

Lil Wee Diary entry

This morning as I was having breakfast with my esteemed colleague Sarah and her rabbit Lil Wee, I noticed something quite upsetting: a dead rabbit baby in the middle of the cage.

It is high time I got on with my life and got a new umbrella.

My Back is Killing Me — Conclusion

Remember how I was complaining how my back was killing me? Well my back is still killing me. It’s like I broke a rib or something, except not that painful. I was telling one of my classes today just that, when it suddenly dawned on me. Monday night on my way to the sack, I tripped over my chair in the dark. I lost my bearings and couldn’t catch myself from falling and hitting a shelf with my back on the way to the floor.

I must have been pretty tired, because I awoke the next morning with the nightstand lamp still on. And I forgot that I tripped and fell down the night before. So that’s why my back is killing me. I fell down. Then I forgot that I fell down.

And they all lived happily ever after, except that their backs are killing them. The end.

Dude Dude Chick reborn

Some have asked why Dude Dude Chick’s website is Farked. The answer is simple.

Ron, aka Twennfore, left the band, thus leaving the membership count to one. That left the remaining member standing and wondering if the band is broken up, or just regrouping.

After some soul-searchin’ I’ve decided to stick with the band name. After a bunch of phonecalls and schmooz session I’ve found some ersatz members to tide me over for the gigs booked in the coming month or so.

So I’ll relaunch the website as soon as I have time.

Dude Dude Chick lives! Reararrrarrrrgh!
