Giving Credit Where Credit's Due August 21, 2007 This strip is based on my friend Jeremy Thompson. We were sitting at a diner one day when he announced, "I want to try to get a mealplan at Stevens." Stevens Institute of Technology is the local college here in Hoboken NJ. I tried giving him input as far as how to do it. He'd have to take at least one class. Considering he's a web designer and Stevens is primarily an engineering school, he may have to choose one of those easy electives. Tennis Anyone? Brief Mention on Indie Comic Podcast August 6, 2007 Indie Spinner Rack is a podcast devoted purely to independent comics runy by Charlito and Mr. Phil. I started listening to it last summer and met them at the New York Comic Con earlier this year. I gave them my latest collection The Dim Sum Club at MoCCA and they mentioned it on their latest podcast. They're usually an hour long or so, but this one was two hours because they took the time to talk about everything everyone gave to them. I get the mention 1 hour and 39 minutes in for those who listen on iTunes. But by listening here, I'm about 5/6th's of the way through. They said it looked like a "typical newspaper strip that's humerous and funny." Indie Spinner Rack is one of the best things that has happened to independent and web comics. I thank them sincerely. MoCCA was good June 27, 2007 MoCCA has come and gone and it was a good time. People actually have been telling me they've seen the site before so that's encouraging. I'll keep this brief, but I just want to mention Jodah Thayer of A Chipmunk and a Lizard, who was my table partner for the two days. I was glad to have someone listen to my whiney observations. Ali Solomon of Strings Attached, who survived her first MoCCA festival, and Cheryl Gladstone of Stinkypoo, who used my comic while she was helping a friend teach a class at Hunter College. 
MoCCA's Coming! June 13, 2007 The great MoCCA (Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art) Festival is in less than two weeks! It's on June 23-24, 2007 at the Puck Building (293 Lafayette at Houston), in New York City. Hours are 11:00am - 6:00pm. I'll be in the middle room debuting my latest and greatest collection, The Dim Sum Club for only $3! Hope to see there! And why should buy this if you can get it online for free? Well it's because this will take up space in your bathroom or living room! Enough said! Two Week Hiatus May 17, 2007 So I'll be in Idaho and Vancouver for the last two weeks of May, so there won't be another strip until June. My biggest issue for the longest time was the fact that I won't be watching the season finales of Lost and Heroes with the rest of the East coast. No way can I wait two weeks to watch it on my DVR. I'll be in Idaho for the first week, where I'm staying with my wife's nature loving uncle -- somehow I don't think the war with The Others and Sylar's plan to blow up New York will be his top priority. But fear not! My trusty cousin Colman will be taping them for me. And by the time I get to Vancouver later in the weekend, they'll be waiting for me. I'm not one to come up with theories on my own, but knowing that the Lost producers cite Stephen King's The Stand, and Alan Moore's Watchmen as influences, I'll be reading the former during the trip. (I'm already 180 pages in.) I read Watchmen last year, so it's still pretty fresh in my mind; and being a graphic novel, it's much easier to reference it. That being said, I like The Watchmen Theory the best, mostly because it's based on somthing solid. I'm looking forward to the Heroes finale more, only because I know it's going to wrap up the season. On the other hand, Lost provokes me to try to figure out what it's all about. Sometime over the summer, I'll be writing a "Which is the Better Show" column complete with a system I saw based on a "Is Lebron or Kobe Better? " article I read on ESPN. Speaking of... For the second time this series I have a Nets ticket waiting for me but alas, a good friend is in town and we'll be at a bar anyway. Despite the win yesterday, I'm still not convinced they can take the series -- forgive my pessimism. Vince Carter is such an inconsistent superstar, and they only scored 6 points in the 4th quarter. They were lucky they were up by 20-something points heading into the 4th and the Cavs played just as bad. Also, what am I going to do if they reach the next round and I can't even be in New Jersey to enjoy it? I've been busy all week putting together my latest collection titled, "The Dim Sum Club" for MoCCA (The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art Festival in Soho.) Once you see the cover, you'll notice it has absolutely nothing to do with Dim Sum. Anyway, time to see how Jim reacted to Pam telling him that it was because of him, she called off the wedding. Oh, did you notice I didn't mention 24? Yeah, old news but it sucks this year. The only thing interesting about it is a recent report that it actually encourages US soldiers to torture. I'll be watching it when I get back to Jersey. Wrong Turns Redesigned! April 20, 2007 I have finally finished redesigning the site! I am celebrating by finally finishing my last 10 of the 50 Greatest Shocking Moments of My Life! Due to its popularity, I'll be coming up with more lists. Because everyone loves lists. I've omitted the comics I've done in college and the ones right after. They just have a different feel and sensibility altogether. Maybe I'll gradually sneak them in a "vintage" section under features. As you can see, it's much more Web 2.0-y and blog-y. Yes, I'll be rambling about random pop-cultural and NBA musings, amongst other things. Oh, I guess independent comics too. Hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think!
