Important announcement!

So, after weeks of struggle and bitter tears, I finally have reached the stage where I am not completely ashamed to link to this. Web sites are not my strength, so I'm pretty proud of myself - I don't know how terrible it is in the grand scheme of things, but I personally can look at it without ocular damage, and that is pretty good.

In any case: weekly comic! This is an exercise in me keeping myself on a schedule (Thursdays), while also doing something that I've wanted to do for a long time now. YEAH!

Exotic creatures!

So I once heard necessity is the mother of invention. I'd like to submit that stupidity is its dad or uncle or wacky cousin or something. Here we have a specimen from a very long period of time spent on the road with friends.

Originally, it was going to be a giraffe, but tip-of-the-tongue syndrome kept the shape of its head juuuust out of reach. We were all waving our hands in the air, finger-sketching our ideas of what a giraffe should look like, but I never quite got it.

"All right, enough is enough," I said. "It will have the head of a lion."

And then, suddenly, this completely plausible and effortlessly majestic creature appeared.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...

...uh...

Hey, what on earth is this thing?
