Called my dad from Australia, to say hello, let him know we’re having a good time, and check in.

Dad: What time is it there?
Me: About eight on Easter morning.
Dad: it’s Easter there already?
Me: Yes. Jesus has risen here already.
Dad: What did he say?
Me: He saw his shadow and went. Ack into his grave, so six more months of judgement.

Dear Scott,

Big fan, normally I don’t write cartoonists, but recently something’s changed with your work and I just have to bring it to your attention You’re supposed to be a professional Scott. And if you actually start to ACT like a professional, then I can’t email you about how you’re supposed to BE more of a professional.

Hear me out. I’ve always known about PvP, but I never really go into it until you switched over from being a comic strip, to being about people shitting on you for not getting the comic up on time. The first time I got enraged about there not being a new PvP posted until 3:46pm PACIFIC time, I was hooked. Since then I’ve been addicted to bitching about PvP. It’s given me an identity and a community to call my own.

Scott, since the new website when up, PvP has been on time. You’re producing a lot and it’s not affecting the schedule of the strip. Your new site is encouraging me to discover older strips and storylines I never took the time to read. What it’s not doing is giving me opportunity to bitch about what a fuck up you are. And I miss that.

I don’t want to tell you how to run your business, but if you could please go back to your sporatic posting, and passive aggressive twitters about how we shouldn’t be so entitled, I would really apprecaite it. I don’t come to PvP for the content. I come to PvP to bitch about how the content isn’t being presented to my liking.

You’re a professional. Stop acting like one.

Kris: Yeah.
Scott: What did he die from?
Kris: He died from being an ancient man whose body was filled with drugs.

Dale: We gotta start thinking bigger, though, Brennan. Listen. What are you really good at?
Brennan: I'm a world-class singer.
Dale: See? Right there. That's an amazing skill. Now what am I good at? I can shred on the drums and I'm a marketing whiz. Put it all together and what do you get?
Brennan: I don't know, a band?
Dale: No, that's been done before. Even better: we are gonna start an international entertainment company. The biggest and the best. And we're gonna call it Prestige Worldwide.
Brennan: That sounds so cool. I feel like a lightning bolt just hit the tip of my penis.
Dale: Yeah. Yeah.
Brennan: We're brothers. This is why we met. To form this alliance.

“Next a walky-talky preamble from the auteur, pacing steady towards the lens, punctuating every other sentence with a hand-gesture and ignoring all the pricks milling around him like he’s gliding through the fucking Matrix.”

Picard on Death

While we’re on the subject of Star Trek, I wanted to also bring this up.

Why is it that Science Fiction has done more to help me understand God than my church or the religion I was raised in? And I’m not just talking about Star Trek. I’m talking about a lot of Science Fiction literature I’ve read. Carl Sagan’s books Contact and Demon Haunted World have brought me closer to God than the Bible ever has.

How is that possible?

Something to think about.

Far Beyond The Stars

If you can watch this episode without losing your shit, then you don’t have a heart. Far Beyond the Stars is a zenith of Star Trek. I think it proves unequivocally that Deep Space 9 is not only the best of the Star Trek series, but better than anything that’s come since.

This is my father and my Uncle Bill. The two are related by marriage only, however when they say “brother” to each other it feels more real and genuine than when I say it to my biological brother.

My father was an only child and Billy was a real blessing. He’d always wanted a brother and he got a good one.

When my friend Gary Tyrell over at Fleen.com saw I was going to have my sister-in-law knit me a Doctor Who scarf, he twittered me to let me know he had one he was willing to part with.

His mom knit it for him when he was younger and it’s not getting used much these days. I was reluctant to take something that was made from a mother’s heart, but he assured me she would be happy to see it getting use. So I took him up on the offer.

The scarf is huge, warm, soft and long. Even wrapped around my neck twice it reaches past my knees and I’m 6’4” tall.

It’s an awesome scarf. I just wish it stayed cold enough here to enjoy it more than a couple days a year. Hopefully, I’ll get more use out of it in Seattle.

Ashely: Seimens
Me: Heh he he hhe heeee...
Ashley: Someone actually named their company that.
Me: It's so stupid. Nobody is going to take you seriously.
Ashley: Yeah, but It's spelled S-E-I-
Me: It doesn't matter HOW it's spelled. People still hear the word in their head and think of Jizz.
Ashley: People, or YOU?
Me: They should just call their company Cumstains.
Me: "We'll shoot you in the eye...with savings."

Scott: I think I'm going to order the Monte Cristo.
Angela: yeah?
Scott: Do you think it'll be good?
Angela: You're chasing that Bennegins Monte Cristo, and nothing ever tastes like it.
Scott: Yeah. I just...I want one.
Regean: The Count of Monte Cristo was a good movie, so...
Scott: Yeah. That's true.
Scott: A really good Monte Cristo is served to you while you're bricked into a wall.
Angela: WHAT?!
Scott: Isn't that in that story?
Angela: That's The Cask of Amontillado!
Scott: Oh. Right. Damn. That was almost a perfect joke.

Bella reclining

Anyone who says that Webcomics don’t have something special with their readers needs to hear about Bella. We found out today that Bella has Entropion, a curling in of her lower eyelid. It’s going to require a simple surgery.

I twittered about it and hours later I have been provided, by readers, a dog eye specialist in my area who comes highly recommended.

If that happens with newspaper cartoonists, I’ll eat my hat.
