For anyone who was wondering, the site was down for eight hours today due to network problems at my ISP. Then, after they fixed the network problems it took them two hours to figure out they hadn't turned my server back on! SHEESH! It's all back and fluffy now, though.

All purpose, re-usable political message. One-size fits all!

Update May 27 - The qnez4u server is up again. The Gallery looks to be intact. I'm not certain what the exact cause is/was but the logs show a possible hard drive problem. I've made a backup of the Gallery so we haven't lost anything and moved a copy of the backup file to one of Erin's other servers.

Trust the farce! :)

Beware of large North American pungulates. :)

Finally Did one in color I like. :)

I'm off to spend the night with Mom and fix her breakfast in the morning. :)

I'm feeling hugely better after sleeping a great large amount, thanks to everyone who inquired.

I've got some catchup tasks to do on the site and there may be a couple of MAJOR changes in the planning ahead.

I've been sick the last three days and it's worse today. Aches and pains and an incredible lethargy. I've slept about 24 hours of the last 48 and I'm still tired.

I'm having weird dreams, too. In fact, I've dreamed a very nice long-term plot for IWaTACL, if I can draw some of the characters. :) The Alley Oop musical I dreamed is right out though. :)

Does the duckling need a name?

Pickle is a baseball term; it's when a baserunner gets caught between two fielders who toss the ball back and forth while the runner tries to find a base before he gets tagged. :)

I spent all day drawing ducks. I hope it was worth it. :)

Frogs and turtles aren't particularly political but they have their own brand of patriotism.

It takes a lot of talent to be a frog. Zook demonstrates in Frisky Business. He's cruising in a manner of speaking. :)

The new Beastly Thoughts is up. And the first story page of [I Was a Teen-age Cheerleader] is pencilled, written, and lettered. :) Looks like Saturday is a go for that one.

The newest Beastly Thoughts is up at Number Please. The guy in the foreground is a drawing of my roommate, Adam Sanford. When you read the cartoon, you'll know how appropriate that is. :)
