- The love of a cartoonist dad means drawing Pokemon on ordinarily plain bandages to make pre-schoolers love wearing them. #
- Finally fixed the GPF High-Def Dec. 22-23, 2000 strips and improved the regular versions. And still within a decade of publication! Timely! #
- Nuts! Typo in today's GPF. Yes, I'm aware of it. I'll fix it when I can. #
- And these Twitter bots that search for keywords and retweet everything that contains them are getting SUPER annoying. How unoriginal… #
- OK, typo fixed. "Produces" -> "Producers" in the third panel. If you aren't seeing the new strip, force a refresh in your browser. #
- Still reading Daniel Suarez' "Daemon". Don't want to spoil things, but the daemon's answer to the spam problem is… tempting. [evil grin] #
- Finished Daniel Suarez's "Daemon". Final score: A-. Good plot & tech detail, points deducted for overly excessive F-bomb-to-page ratio. #
