Since summer last year we’ve been dealing with my wife’s cancer. We’re almost done with chemo, but man have these months been hard. If you’ve been umming or ahhing about buying one of these pens, now would be a great time for me.

Not messing about when I say that the past few months have been *really* challenging. It’d help a bunch if you shared or purchased one of these sweet pens I make.

Learned that one of my nieces (9 years old) thought that the word ‘shucks’ was a compound of the words ‘shit’ and ‘fucks’ and this is now the only acceptable use of the word. Please update your dictionaries.

I was in hospital with a suspected brain haemorrhage and was emailed by a charity saying they were trying to use a picture from my website for their poster but the resolution was too low. I explained no thanks, hospital, brain haemorrhage etc… 1/2

…And they kept pushing, insisting I send the full resolution version. I ignored them because I had other things to worry about. They eventually emailed to say they’d fixed it by printing out the low res image and scanning it back in high res. Problem solved!

I dreamed the other night that I was being pursued by a Moss Hound, a huge wolf-like forest creature made of lichen and moss without ears or eyes and let me tell you I kicked the covers off the bed. Properly terrifying. I must write a comic about the Moss Hound.
