The watch has been a little less than vigilant recently, and look what's happened, a fireworks explosion of SPPs: (and how about that clever timely metaphor?)

Confidential to commenter Kris:
Uh, yeah, holy crap, that's me. What's up? Somewhere in my box of old VHS tapes, I still have a copy of our performance at Mid-stock '92. Those were the days, man.
i graduated in 91, but i think i was in your band for about a week. i remember patrick, you, meg, but no one else. what was the name of that band??
ReplyDeleteHey, what about the July 3 Monty? That penultimate panel is not just silent, it's silenced.

Dominic,
ReplyDeleteYa gotta learn to let go, man!
silent panels are about dramatic pause. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. to write a blog about this, to even contribute a significant part of your life to this, is a waste of your time. If this is the best way you can spend your time blogging, you have less imagination than the cartoonists you criticize. In the cartoonists' case, it's a wasted cartoon. In your case, it's a much bigger wasted part of your life. I hope you will find more fruitful endeavors with which to devote yourself, that could possibly change this world in a more significant way.
ReplyDeletehmm, it looks like this blog is a little dead, although very fun. I thought I'd share this in case anyone was still passing by:

It's a comics scrambler I made using only silent panels from the Sunday comics.
