Natalie doesn't remember it, but she actually requested this comic. She was talking about how she's trying to reduce her stressors, and I interjected with "...but I'm a stress vending machine." She thought this was hilarious.

Living under this giant transmission tower is handy, because while we can't say that we live in the Inner Sunset, or Cole Valley, or anything else that surrounds us, we can point to this enormous tower on the highest hill in the city and say "We live over there."

Nerrrrrrrrrrrd

My friend Liz recently got a job as a baker in the kitchen of her local Earth Fare, and essentially wrote this strip for me when she messaged me saying "MY NEW JOB WORKING FOR HIPPIES HAS A 401(K). MY LIFE IS A CAT AND GIRL STRIP"

If you're unfamiliar with Cat and Girl, I suggest you go and read it here.

I'm getting a little better at this comic strip stuff, I think. I'm still trying to nail down a simple, repeatable style, and there are plenty of tools I still want to learn to use, but it's starting to feel a little more natural. The second panel was originally going to have a little more dialog, but in the end, the joke really sells itself. I do need to get better with confining my panels. Instinctively, I avoid it, but I realize that once I start working, things get sloppy without defined borders.

Well, I've moved to San Francisco during the worst state budget crisis, worst economic period, and worst job market there's been in years. But, at least I know I have some networking in the porn industry.

Uncorrected Proofs #6: One day, it will be you

Y'know, I'm beginning to wonder if maybe this comic is going to turn into just a bunch of things that have happened to me while I'm naked. This particular time was at a conference a few years ago. We'd just gone shopping and been talked into trying out Jockey underwear. They're soooo comfortable, and are now my favorite brand. So, I go back to the hotel and try them on, and they are super comfortable, but as I'm about to put clothes back on and get ready for dinner or something, and in walks my poor friend Courtney, who was absolutely mortified. When you're my friend, it's only a matter of time before you see my penis, let's be honest.

Trying out the monochromatic style, and I was downright lazy as far as background goes. I'm having fun with this.

It's stuck in my head

So, it's been a long while, yes? More time has freed up now that I've graduated, so I'm trying to actually update on a regular basis, or at least more frequently than in the past. I'm certain there will be some interesting stories to tell about my upcoming job hunt.
