#122 ~ Rabid Lamb Comics

I think it speaks to Adam’s confidence that he let me go ahead with this comic

I half expected him to hand it back to me when I asked him to scan it, and simply say, “no way.” But Adam has a great sense of humor, and so here we are, laughing at stick figure Adam’s expense. Make sure to tune in Monday as I have great things planned for stick figure Adam.

I hope you all have great things planned for the weekend. With my website work (for my job) almost complete (my part is pretty much done, but there were a few kinks as always) I have taken a couple much needed days off – Friday, Monday, and Tuesday morning – all actually at the request of my awesome boss – to “take a break and recharge – you did great work – now rest” – which means I’m not using up any vacation time…yay!

Adam and I plan to see My Blueberry Nights and Married Life, I have fantasies of Urban Lobster (as always), and we’ll probably do a little shopping (very little – no money!), some apartment “improvements” and I hope to get very very caught up on my writing, which has been languishing while this web project took over my life. What about you guys?

PS – I liked just the circle goatee around Adam’s mouth in the previous strip, but Adam kind of thought it looked like I was doing some kind of bizarre black face, which sounded terrible, so I tried something new that I’m not wild about. Thoughts?

I’m thinking of moving over to this style, not because it’s easier and more fun (though it is) but simply because Adam and I both look nice and thin…

Yes, we’re back to this again.

I guess it’s good to know that if Adam decides to toss me, the blue collar workers of America will be waiting in the wings to scoop me up, but these encounters remain 10% flattering and bizarrely complimentary; 10% insulting to my inner (and outer?) feminist; and 80% creepy and uncomfortable…

Sadly, even though it is BAD I’m still pretty interested in it. Despite the fact that they didn’t handle much well in the entire first season I keep finding myself wondering how they will handle the interesting things to come in the second season. As a matter of fact, I have so much to say about this show that I’m going to do another post today about it…I would do it now, but I don’t want to delay Rabid Lamb any more than I have already…

Yeah, this has happened. A lot. Especially with this latest book, which I have to say, is just too big to be enjoyable to read. I mean I like the content, but it’s really hard to just relax and read it. On top of being over 600 pages it is about six inches wide and eleven inches tall and almost three inches deep. Too big I say!

Anyway, I’m with Paul, so far I hate this new wordpress dashboard/ navigation. I’m sure I’ll get used to it and find all the benefits (I assume they’re there, otherwise why woud they change, right?), but so far it’s just frustrating…and posting images is particularly frustrating…which makes me really really glad I have a daily comic I have to post. Whee!

There was some suggestion yesterday that I wish Adam would share Civilization, and I suppose in a way this is true. I don’t mind that he is playing a game that he loves, it’s just such an obsessive game that when he plays it I end up feeling massively left out of…well, everything. He doesn’t really like to have conversations when he’s playing (concentration), and it keeps him up to all hours, and I don’t know, there’s just very little connecting or communicating going on between us while this game goes on. I feel like when he is writing, or reading, or watching tv (other than Magic games), or a million other things he does in the apartment, there is more communication, more activity and exchange of thought between us. But not when he plays this game. And THAT is why I hate Civilization.

But it makes him happy and so I’ll just sit back, let him play, and write mean comic strips about it…

I’m actually almost glad he’s back to playing Civilization, as it makes for some of my favorite strips…here, here, here, and here even! But I’d happily give up the strip fodder if he could just hear what I’m saying again. It’s shocking how hard it is to have a conversation with him when he is playing this game. And by hard, I mean impossible.

I LOVE cake batter flavored ice cream. I believe I first had it and discovered how ridiculously freaking delicious it is at Cold Stone Creamery a couple years ago, but Ben & Jerry’s has gotten wise, and it was delicious. It would have been better without the chocolate stripe, which, while good, tasted (as advertised) like chocolate frosting…and I think a fudge stripe would have had a better blended flavor. Considering that we’ve so scientifically established my incredibly refined palette I think Ben & Jerry’s should take my advice…Ben & Jerry’s you can send my royalty checks as soon as you implement the new formula. Thank you.

Hmm…think you’ve stumbled onto the wrong comic (mostly because you’re shocked to be seeing COLOR)? No, but April Fools!

The above strip is a little cross-promotion fun that Paul Abbamondi of My Life Comics and I came up with…we cartoonists really know how to have a good time don’t we? Paul actually came up with the idea and suggested it to me, although I think he was inspired by Adam’s guest strip a few weeks ago.

It was a great suggestion though, especially since I LOVE another blog called Pencils At Dawn which is a “competition” between two insanely talented cartoonists Mike Jacobsen of See Mike Draw and Phil (no last name?) of The Rut, as they battle it out by drawing competing cartoons/strips and posting them on their Pencils At Dawn site, it’s a great idea, and they are by far two of the best cartoonists I have found on the web.

Anyway, Paul and I humbly offer up our meager cross-promotion April Fools Day fun for your enjoyment – to get the full effect please go over to his site as well and check out the cartoon I did for his strip.

I’ve been trying to slowly edge towards more healthy lifestyle choices (VERY slowly) and thought I’d see if V8 was an option for getting extra vegetable servings into my diet. NOT going to happen. This stuff tasted terrible. And I don’t really know why…I mean I like vegetables…and I definitely like tomato juice which seems like the base of the drink…but it is NOT like tomato juice…and there is a truly horrible aftertaste. I am liking the new V8 fusion though, which is fruit and vegetables and tastes much more like fruit…so far I’ve only had the Tropical Orange as Pomegranete Blueberry always seems to be sold out near me and Strawberry Banana and Peach Mango are obvious no go flavors for me (see: here). There is also an Acai Mixed Berry flavor, which has potential, but I also haven’t seen that one in the store and will need to check the ingredients when I do.

I know this is riveting Monday morning conversation…what can I say…I’m a riveting person.
