Something’s Been Bugging Me

Something’s Been Bugging Me

I want to do a comic strip. Just a little mini-series of a comic strip, mind you, but a comic strip just the same.

This is a code blue, red alert, elephant-sized poop crisis in my world….

Jumping the Shark

Jumping the Shark

I’ve got a favor to ask of you. It’s that time of year—sweeps week, season finales on prime time TV, dramatic plots and cliffhangers. Shows that you like might never come back, and shows that you hate might pop up again. And after the season is over, all that’s left are reruns. H.E. and I have been discussing some of his favorite shows—which of them are coming back and which of them aren’t, which of them have jumped the shark…
