Gosh this makes me want this Eightball collection. www.youtube.com/watch

I just posted our 3rd patron exclusive podcast about the creation of Incredible Doom. It’s about the year of pre-production we did before launch, coming up with our business model, working with printers, and preparing for launch day.

The more I think about livestreaming my drawing of new pages for Incredible Doom Vol 2 the more I realize that I get up from my desk about every 15 min.

📺 👩‍🚀Started a rewatch of For All Mankind, this time with girlfriend, so that we’re ready for the new season next month. We’re both enjoying it. Girlfriend kept saying “I want to get to the ladies!” throughout the first episodes.

Played a few rounds of Star Wars Battlefront today. 45 or so deaths, 3 kills. Not sure how to get much better. I’ve been trying off and on for years now. Oh well. It’s not as if it wasn’t fun.

What cartoonist hasn’t had to dig up an old Mac mini, to run even older software, to accurately re-create late 90s ANSI art?

We were feeling cooped up in the house, so we found a much smaller one to stay in for a few days.

Patreon reward idea: Every 3 months you get a different “Incredible Doom” floppy, with a new label design & files on it like characters’ emails to each-other, their ASCII art, etc. + a clue to a secret URL to download those files if you don’t have a drive. Fun? Not fun?

Birthday presents from girlfriend. She got them with the help of the good folks at Books With Pictures. They are great. (The books, my girlfriend, and the folks.)

I get to talk about my log secret project this week. Stay tuned.

Never have I wanted to master a tool so badly. I never got anywhere with this thing as kid. Part of me wants to buy one again and keep trying.

What It Was Like To Buy A Computer In 1994

I worked at a computer store for years and years, until just recently. It’s remarkable how much of this interaction feels the same today.

I just resubscribed to the Sunday paper. I love getting that thing in the mail so much. Something about printed objects make my heart sing, especially now that so much is digital.

Spider web floating in the air.

Take that sunshine! I put out blackout curtains!

Watched Dirty Dancing for the first time last night. Had a GREAT TIME! I haven’t thought critically about it at all yet, but there were so many touching, funny, exciting moments. I know I’m a BIT late to the party on this one.

Dreaming a dream of mail carriers.

Setting all else aside, everyone looks pretty amazing wearing masks.

Spent yesterday immersing myself in stories about the early web, including re-watching the documentary “Home Page” which was recently re-released after 20 years. Although I wasn’t much of a computer user then, that film feels so much like that time to me it’s shocking.

I’ve been working towards a big deadline for several weeks and it frankly kept me tethered. Now that it’s passed I’ve got plenty to do, but I’m feeling pretty adrift.

I’ve oficially entered the phase of life where I have to midigate RSI.

All it took was a pandemic for girlfriend to watch an Apple event with me. (jk. I don’t blame her)

Stopped by here as twitter was giving me heart problems. (had a video call with a doctor & everything) I’m not sure I have a lot to post, but I have to say … this place is so nice. Thank you to everyone I follow here for posting thoughtful, kind things.

Oh gosh. This hold music for Ting customer support is the end credits music for Buckaroo Banzai.
