I really prefer football season to election season.

In fact, I prefer MOSQUITO season to election season.

Maybe it's a bit of sour grapes because I can't vote here yet, but the sheer volume of drool-inducing ads are enough to make me want to move to some apolitical nation, like the back side of the moon. Pity about the lack of oxygen and running water there.

I am annoyed when my television programs are suddenly covered by incredibly urgent updates from the primaries. Why doesn't my TiVo have an "I DON'T CARE" button to suppress them?

TWENTY-SIX states are holding primaries today, and I am just leaving my television off in protest. Wren gave me this comic idea after she described how both Hilary Clinton and Scarlett Johansen called her house this morning. Scarlett was of course calling for the man of the house, who shares her political views. Plus, he's a man. She's not dumb.

Anyway, that's why I pre-empted my regular programming to bring you this political broadcast. Blame Wren and her activist ways!

Sadly, that doesn't stop recorded people from calling me to tell my why Mike Huckabee is the way to go. Worse yet, political calls do NOT fall under the auspices of my magical "do not call" list of protection. They are exempt. I wonder how many souls were sold to the devil for THAT law?

I get all the election coverage I need from The Daily Show, thanks. It is far more informative than CNN or FOX news, not to mention that I can stay awake through the whole thing.



Now, maybe noone else but me noticed, but the font for the comic is different today. With my new supah-ubah computer upgrade, I decided to spend the 30 minutes needed to transfer my drawing tablet and software to the PC from my Mac... because, in direct contrast to what the Mac vs PC ads may tell you, the Mac SUCKS. I've been using it for 2 years under duress, and the only reason I am keeping it is because it's a laptop and I need something to haul around to trade shows so that I look legit.

Meanwhile, as with any computing project, my 30 minutes turned into 300 (not the movie, the aggravation).

Sadly, my fonts are largely Mac-format only. I went to Blambot.com today to re-purchase the PC version of my beloved comic font (SuperStrong BB), but while my account processed the payment, no response from those who hold my font yet. I bet Mac pays them to delay delivery of PC-based fonts. They'll be getting a visit from me and my axe tomorrow if I don't see my download code.

Still, the experience of working on my PC again has been.... heavenly, and almost makes up for all the political diatribe that is piling up around the nation. I'll just stay indoors till it all blows over, in ohhh, 11 months or so. See you then!

ps. Kwee is NOT a Libertarian... more like a sorta Republican-conservative-free-thinker kind of rat. There. Now he doesn't have to come after me in MSN at 3am, three sheets to the wind and 3 large mugs of wine later to straighten that out. He will, however, probably be driven to a rambling political post on the forums at about 4:47a.m., which will cover: the state of the nation, how boffo and relevant a particular Beatles or Beach Boys song is, and/or interpersonal relationships in the modern age. You have been warned.

pps. You people will talk about anything on the forums. Fine then, join in!

ppps. I wonder how many of these I can get in? I substituted reasonable comic fonts for the admirable but unsuitable Comic Sans font that I had in the original version. Does anyone even care?
