Eastern phoebe (Sayornis phoebe) The renowned naturalist, entomologist and sociobiologist Edward O. Wilson maintains that belief in the afterlife developed as a human coping mechanism, as a way for our enlarged brains to contend with mortality. He writes,"Our conscious minds hunger for a permanent e...

It is in fact a page. So while drawing I went ahead and skipped The Power of Kroll -- yeah, that's right, I skipped it, whatcha gonna do about that? Nothing? I thought so -- and went straight to the final story of the Doctor Who Key to Time sequence, The Armageddon Factor. And I have to say... Arma-...

In the usual place. I was watching the old Doctor Who episode The Ribos Operation whilst ("whilst"?) drawing today's page. It holds up remarkably well, considering its 1977-ness. I have alluded to my teenage crush on Lalla Ward (who played the second Romana) in the past, but I must admit that Mary T...

A surprise update appears! Yeah, the one time of the year I don't have to get up early on Monday, I actually get the comic done at a reasonable hour -- go figure. Actually I have all kinds of mysterious errands to run tomorrow morning, and today's page was super-easy, so there you go. Speaking of aw...

Update as usual. I'm afraid I have been very careless with my video gaming. I started playing Tomb Raider: Underworld, which so far I quite like (executive summary: a) big epic levels, b) Lara does a neat sideways somersault if you hold down the jump button while vaulting up onto something, c) at th...

So yeah. Finished the page while trying out that Netflix-streaming-to-the-360 thing. Other than the weird roundabout way you have to add things to your queue on the computer, then pick them from the queue on the 360, I love it. They've got giant stacks and piles of old Doctor Who episodes on there! ...

I know that we all die and that there’s absolutely no way around that. I know and accept that one day I will die as well, and I’m not afraid of dying, per se. What I am afraid of—terrified of really—is no longer existing, no longer being conscious of everything that’s happening in this gre...

Well ... Well ... Well It's been a long time. We haven't visited with our First Lady in over a year. For awhile, we were pumping out The Laura Bush Bummer Bombing-of-the Day posts, born of the gift of that is Laura , who summed up the plight of the invasion and occupation of Iraq, keying right in on...
