Please, please don't let me end up in a threesome with the lunch lady and a gay pirate. That would hit a little too close to home.

My #1 most-wanted Achewood strip that never got made would be something about Pat from small times. Obviously Onstad didn't know who Pat was going to be any more than the other cats at the beginning, but it would've been nice to be able to reconcile Pat, Ray and Roast Beef's friend who's a bit stuck up, with Pat the raging self-righteous rear end in a top hat nobody wants anything to do with.

Well, now I can't find what drat thread it was in, but someone had a scanned old news clipping about a man who died digging a tunnel from his basement under the street towards a jewelry shop. The tunnel collapsed in on him, of course.
The last line was something like " he dug his way blindly into eternity"

Don't touch my bags if you please, Mr Customs Man.



I was trying to explain the phrase "rough chuckles" to a coworker the other day and nobody in my office knew what Achewood was or what I was talking about. "It's a strip about bears, cats, and robots, also one of the cats has depression and another is so rich he actually owns Airwolf and..."

They probably think I had a stroke.

Dear Diary,

You guessed it - last night I peed in my pants again. I guess I could probably just stop writing that part of my day down, as I have been peeing in my pants every night for over seventy years.

Today after I finish yelling at myself I think I will phone the old house and see how many of my friends have died.

I seem to be some sort of chemistry lab framework of glass tubes and beakers, except one of the beakers is a fifth of Glenfiddich. Can you imagine such a thing? I can. I may make a drawing of this idea later, using a Program.
