My man Shannon Smith just posted an interview with yours truly over on his File Under Other blog and It’d sure be cool if you’d go read it.

Who knows? You might learn something.

This sexy pillow fight was brought to you by my friend, Sparrow (5th from left.)

Happy birthday, Sparrow!

The south will rise again, and I will be there, dudes!

My man Keith McNally has been busing himself with the 200 Sh*tty Comic challenge. Man, I can’t believe I asterisked out that “I.” Sigh, I used to be so edgy, what happened?

What I really can’t believe is that he’s done 60 in a few days, but I think my cameo on comic number 58 explains my attitude toward this phenomenon better than the real me ever could:

(Do I really need to explain that you click on the image to make it bigger?)

I, for one, cannot wait.

In this god awful, stinkin’ horrible world we live in, sometimes we forget that true love does exist. case in point: this happy couple illustrated below, met in the 60’s then, how ever many years later, they reconnected and are now getting married and will spend the rest of their lives together. Sweet story, huh?

The happy couple wanted the invitation to be personalized, colorful and fun and represent them when they’d met. Hmm, 60’s huh? I looked no further than this trippy Disney’s “Alice In Wonderland” poster in my bedroom for inspiration. By which I mean I stole the colors and the psychedelic swirls surrounding them. The couple dug the invitation and I hope you do too, you loveless cretin!
