I was shown an interesting article from The Oatmeal, for those who don't know, the oatmeal is written and drawn by Matt Inman and he makes cartoons, some really crude and crass, but most of them funny. Well People take these and post them all over like with the lol cat pages. Last year, Mr. Inman contected a website, Funnyjunk and asked them to remove his copyrighted material. http://theoatmeal.com/blog/funnyjunk they also have stuff from Calvin and Hobbes, The Farside and other comics from the internet.

One of my favorite cartoonists, Chris Baldwin, sometimes gets work at MAD. Here's a vaguely relevant cartoon he did from the MAD site:

The latest update of Wishful Thinking is not yet coloured, the artist has some school work she needs to do, so instead she has posted the rough pencil sketch, which actually looks awesome in my opinion.

here is a link to the latest comic.

Enjoy please.

Well in the latest update we finally see the girl that our hero has become - she's quite the cutie I think.

In this page Riley is having some lovely dreams of his past life, pity that life is about to become just a memory :).
Wait a few hours and then go check out the latest page of Wishful Thinking 2.0

Well, in a few hours Wishful Thinking page 4 is going up, this marks the last time we will see male Riley, well sort of, I am delighted to see that this comic has become quite popular and I want to thank everyone of you for showing support for us, I believe a speak for CrystalAsh and Michelous in this also.

Hi there, Wishful Thinking page 2 is about to go up in about five hours, I hope you enjoy it, believe me things will start to make sense soon - promise.

I found this while browsing the news sites this morning and thought it would be of interest to some readers.

A slightly different perspective.

Hi Everybody,
     I know i posted this before, but it's been a few months, and I felt it time to re-post this note.

Some of you may know, but other's probably don't, that I've been making book covers for not only my own, but other people's stories.

I make these using Stock Art purchased or found freely (royalty free archives) off the internet.

What Lies Beyond Twilight was done a while back, and is a little cluttered, but has nice pop/visual and I decided it needed showing.

Due to the number of inquiries I've been getting as of late...

A number of people have been asking about writing characters that have already been chosen. Sadly, I have to tell them that those particular ones are unavailable at this time, because other people have chosen them.

There are a number of authors/potential authors that have chosen characters and after a number of months, and in some cases over a year, have posted nothing.

Sometimes the funnies can teach all of us something: http://www.slagoon.com/cgi-bin/sviewer.pl
