I actually like kids: They are inquisitive and show the spark of future scientists. To those young adults reading this comic, understand this: It is your classmates who frustrate you that frighten me awake, screaming, in a cold sweat when I think they will be building and staffing my nursing home. In general, though, people are alright until they get to around college age. Then, it’s all downhill. I am really the butt of this joke, the old curmudgeon.
I hope you enjoy a a few laws of physics illustrated with humor. Maybe that will help you remember them in a pinch. Odds are not, but hey, a man can dream.

A reader was so kind as to clarify the origin of the idiom “had me in stitches”. Find out the gory (not really) details at:

And no, it has nothing to do with Lilo.

I have updated the gallery (link on the nav bar above) with all of the postings in the archived site. They won’t appear in the RSS feed, because they are back-dated for compatibility purposes. Future gallery posts will show up in the feed, fear not.
Also, over the rest of June I shall be updating my gallery code to make it look and function better. I do have some other projects to work on, but I hope to make significant headway. For those interested in seeing the work evolve (slowly), send me an e-mail for the super-secret development site link and let me know what you think!

Unfortunately, life is getting away from me, so I need to keep things on the down-slow for the next month while I catch up. With the exception of this week, you should expect to continue the twice-weekly update schedule, Wednesday and Sunday, through June.
This week shall be an exception. I missed Sunday because I spent the weekend helping get my late grandmother’s house in order. Airport delays caused packing delays caused driving delays, and I got home at around ten with nothing left for drawing. Today, I have to send out prototypes for a project I promised months ago, so they MUST be done.
However, since y’all have been gracious and I have not received a single nasty e-mail about being late and slow, I’ll give you three comics this week. I intend to deliver Wednesday, some time Saturday, and Sunday.
It’s the least I could do for having such great fans. Once I catch up on my projects, I’ll get back to living life and delivering three comics a week. Thanks for bearing with me.

For the month of May, I will be posting twice-weekly: Once on Sunday night and once on Wednesday night. This change of schedule is necessary because I have lots of other projects I need to get finished. The strip, nothing more than a hobby, must be sacrificed. I don’t foresee a problem with getting two strips a week up, but things may happen and the schedule may need to extend in to June.

Sorry for the late strip. In exchange, I have updated the process page from the archived site. It’s also available on the nav bar at the top of the page! Yay!

Update will be late, possibly Saturday. Got lots going on. I do have the strip penciled and the letters inked. This one is really good, though, so it will be worth it when I finally get around to it.
Also, as an added bonus, I’m working on refining my process page for the new site! Neato!

New comic tomorrow: I had friends in town tonight. Friends trump drawing. If any of you were in town, the same thing would go. Y’all are awesome and I hope you’ll understand.

I have closed comments on the site regarding books. If you have an opinion, there’s always e-mail.

Hooray! Got the site back up! Apparently Internet connectivity (rather, lack thereof) was a common issue in Georgia the past day or so, and during all this downtime my provider decided to switch some modem settings without telling me. My router stopped talking to my modem, so even though I tested the modem connection directly once, I should not have assumed that it meant anything.
You know, there used to be a time when people would send you a mailer with your monthly bill when they planned on changing the terms of service on you. That way, you were prepared.
