Didn't post my Glowing Hearts progress yesterday. It's close! Probably finishing up with inks tomorrow afternoon.

Here's my unpopular opinion, on this, a day when people are grilling:

Grilling is, at best, the third best way to make hamburgers.

Looking forward to hearing the other municipalities of Japan's Ska Paradise Orchestras.

I don't think God gives a shit if you owned the devil at fiddle playing?

Here's my hot "Devil Went Down to Georgia" take:
I feel like agreeing to a contest with the devil, alone, is probably the trick. The second Johnny said yes his soul was hell-bound.

Some asshole professional: Never give into fan demands!
One of my fans: You should add a banister to the stairs in the house in your comic. It feels unsafe.
Me: Sorry. I'm not allowed.

Note: the reason I was thinking of this is that I own the shirt from an airforce uniform. It's fitted and looks great on me, but I have to assume you have to turn your uniform back in when you leave.
So I assume it's the shirt of a deserter. Which, good for them.

So, if I was hiring someone and they said they had military experience, I dunno if that'd be a plus for me, but I realized that if they had been dishonorably discharged I WOULD ask the reason, but if they went AWOL I wouldn't. I get going AWOL.

Separate the art from the artist?

ABSOLUTELY NOT. When you read my comic I want you to imagine me also reading it with you, over your shoulder.

If you're eating tortilla chips or pretzels while reading it, mime giving one to me every so often.

I feel like all my issues about western masculinity can be summed up by explaining my irritation by how quickly YMCA by The Village People became a meme.

The song, at it's base level, is an advertisement for a nonprofit that despite being a huge christian org, doesn't seem to do anything especially untoward and has a socialist bent. Real Christian not "real" christian.

The song overall is about being willing to accept the help of others.

AND it's a fucking jam.

Thinking about how that one Robbie Williams body horror music video was probably really formative for some people.

Today's #comic is frozen by choices and possible foreshadowing.

Pitch: Ken Penders echidna comics but they're drawn more like real echidnas

It also looks like there's a very good chance Glowing Hearts #3 will be available in my store before the first page is even posted, which has me torn because even the cover will likely be a spoiler.

It sounds like there's going to be two weeks between me finishing my comic and me starting freelance again, so I'm curious to see if I come off of Glowing Hearts 2 with a huge burst of energy for other projects or just lie in bed playing video games for a week.

Folks, I think I only have three semi-complicated backgrounds left to do in my comic. I understand why Garfield takes place on a table next to a blank wall.

I remember accidentally getting my mom's entire voting history out of her once. She's been down ticket democrat since she was 18, I think because my uncle Jeff was her baby sitter as a kid and he's apparently some sort of Democrat alderman in Indiana? I don't even know what an alderman is tbh.
Just relieved she didn't vote for Reagan, which I cannot necessarily vouch for for the rest of the people who raised me.

The Brandon Lee O'Malley/Jhonen Vasquez school of "I don't draw like that anymore, but other people sure as fuck do"

Today's #comic loves mices to pices.

I just looked into seeing what my state is determining at the midterms and holy shit I really need to get my ID changed over and register to vote.
