All is going well, if you have a chance again check out my gf's new site; Sharkbyte Entertainment ; she'd really appreciate it. I've been pretty scarce lately due to my job. I'll continue to be scarce for a little while longer as I concentrate on that. No worries though, like always the comic will continue updating.

Cheers

This is the project my girlfriend is currently creating. It is to be a short film and her thesis for her masters degree in film. Take a look, see what you think.

This will be the LAST of the Sunday updates. Potential career oriented job has come my way and I will be needing all my time to concentrate on that. Fear not, the Tues and Fri comics will continue to update. I hope you have all enjoyed the extra updates. I for one have really enjoyed them. It paces out the story quite well for the second and third acts. On that note, 262, hollllly crap, it was just yesterday that it feels like I was having theGN Vol2 printed. Hope you are all doing well and enjoying your May.

Happy Birfday Melissa! Its my girlfriends birthday today. We just got back from dinner and Disney. Good eats and a fun walk. We are annual passholders, and she found out that if you sign up for something on Disneys site, you get the cash equivalent of a ticket on your birthday. So she got about 70$ as a birfday gift from Disney. Pretty cool stuff.

Wow half way through May already. This year does not bode well. At least I know that I can survive on a few dollars. If I ever get a long term job I should be able to make money hand over fist at this rate. Still lookin.

Tomorrow will be the second Sunday comic. I hope you are all enjoying the extra comics. Also tomorrow is mothers day. So everyone go out and do something nice for your moms. They love you and took/take care of you for the first 18 years (and sometimes more) years of your life. Rarely do they get a thankyou. Most of the time all they get is angsty teens whinning their asses off. It isn't until years later in the teens late 20s or early 30s do they realize what impact their parents left on them. So celebrate mothers day, and when it comes around, fathers day. Always remember to hug when you meet, and say "I love you" when you leave. You never know when someone might need a hug, or when those words will really matter.

LOVE YOU MOM!

Sincerly,
your only house cat,
Me =3

Helllllo Tuesdays folks. Just a reminder the comic updated on Sunday as well, so if you missed it remember to check the previous pages to see what you missed.

In other news off to the dentist on the morrow to get two molars pulled, well not the dentist... Oral Surgon, some days I think it would be better if I was just struck in the face by a 2x4 and have them all removed. Then replace them all with bionic teeth.

And on the other side of the coin, those of you non whiners out there that have stayed true, you rock harder then any fan anywhere. Like I said to Tav on deviant art. All I need is a great fans like you guys to keep my spirits up. As long as you guys are happy there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I spend more then 6 hours a day looking for jobs, the rest of the time is spent coloring the comics, paying the bills I can, spending time with my beautiful gf, and watering my plants. So thanks to those out there that still care. I still care about you, Im just not around that often to show it.

NEWS!!!! Comic is going to go to a 3 day a week updating run while I am unemployed. Sunday, Tuesday, Friday. So enjoy it while it lasts. Also new is the C box on the right. Ill be here and there on the interwebs, I've been spending a lot of time offline getting a few things in order around here. As always nothing will stop the comic from updating but I may disappear again.

To all the whiners out there, deal with it. There have been a few people that think their lives are supposed to take priority over mine and this comic. They seem to think that throwing a fit and claiming this and that will some how guilt me into spending more time on the forum. They seem to think my absence from the forum and chat is a personal attack on them. What I would like them to remember is that I am UNEMPLOYED. I am working very hard on attempting to find EMPLOYMENT. Which means that I spend ALOT of time offline. I provide all the services you use free of charge to you. Don't you dare for a second think that you are the most important part of what I have created. I do what I can to accommodate everyone. All I ask is that you do the same for me. A little understanding goes a long way. Instead of complaining how much the forum/chat/news/comics suck why don't you cheer the fuck up and deal with it.

Still unemployed. Nothing much more to report. My tomato plant is about 6 feet tall with about 40+ green cherry tomatoes on it. My snow snap peas are full and fresh, tasted great. Oregeno is out of control all over the place. Made apple pie, baklava, cookies, pita bread, and perfect steaks. Its one of my catharic exercises, along with painting and writing. Keeps me sane. We'll see what else I can cook up.

I have done some major overhauls to the Gallery, and created two new pages to house the Art of War concept art. I am currently working to build yet another page to house the Aircats concept work.

ATTENTION : Do not panic if some of the images in the gallery disappear for a moment. I am doing some site maintenance and things will be going up and down today. The Comic will not be affected.

So about a week and a half back my gf and I were watching our daily cooking shows (being unemployed has its advantages especially when it comes to daily cooking shows). On one particular show, they were showing a home/apartment solution for a small garden. I was very impressed, having grown up on a farm I have green thumbs and a constant need to create. This particular item intrigued me the most because of its simplicity and ease of use. The product was called the EarthBox . It is a very clever solution to a common problem, how to keep your soil rich and moist. Well what they did was (you can watch the exact process on their site) take a large plastic bin, stick a grating about an inch and a half off the bottom and fit it with a filling pipe. Now what happens is you fill the bottom with water, and cram two corners of the grate with dirt before filling the rest up. This leaves a water reservoir below your dirt and two "wick" spots which draws the water into the main body. You then cover the top with a sheet of plastic and cut small holes in which to plant. This whole thing is a very simple water recirculartor. The box heats up and the water rises up through the dirt watering the plants from roost to stem. And when it reaches the top the plastic keeps most of the water from evaporating and lets it soak back into the soil. What you get is a perfect environment to grow. We set ours up with a Cherry Tomato plant, a small thing of Oregano, Rosemary, and Basil, and a Serrano pepper. So far, so good. The Tomato is growing like craziness and the Oregano is starting to fill out well. Here are some pictures.

We will see how things go, but by the looks of it, it will be good eats.
