F**k chess and jazz music.

But yoga…

You be seriously missing out there my friend.

I had a similar discussion with a friend recently. I was being bitter because while information was free, the tools are not. I fantasize about what I could do with a full suite of tools, but instead I have to jerry-rig most of what I use to work for what I want to use it for.

I updated to the latest version of WordPress and it took a few of the plugins out… including the one that emails you when there’s a comment… It *should* be fixed now, but you might have to leave another comment on a page to get updates from it.

I’ve stopped recieving email updates from about this point on, maybe earlier, haven’t checked.
Is it because I corrected you?
Am I being punished?
Will you ever forgive me? Or shall I forever walk in the dark shame that is your scorn?

Does conversing include me and others pointing out typo’s?

“comment an converse”
Should maybe be an “and”.
Damn, I feel anally retentive.

I’ve done all three, plus some more.
I feel some what alienated from my peer group when I admit this.

until you made that comment, sam, i hadnt realised that i had skipped the comic and accidentally gone straight to the post/conversation. evidently i dont come here just for the comics, although i do enjoy them.

I think all 3 of those activities are neato… but yeah I don’t have the time for ‘em.

I couldn’t agree with you more regarding Tyler Martin. I use the hell out of his comicpress theme. I’d be lost without him

They are great, they last for ages… and they’re pretty good right up until the end. I tried some other pens but they degraded slowly over time with use.

I wrote to Staedtler again, to say thanks and ‘you spell your name funny’, and they sent me a whole bunch in the post with a note saying that they liked my comic… and that’s the best pen of all – the free one.

Isn’t he. He deserves a fanclub.

I sent him an email a little while ago just saying ‘thanks’ – I didn’t expect a reply, I expected him to be way too popular and busy – he replied with a lovely email.

He is responsible for nearly every webcomic I know.

Wacom tablets… I do have a soft spot for them – I used them as a typesetter.

“for our birthday”

Tia, are you a twin? Have you mentioned this before and I’ve forgotten?

Staedtler pens are, in actual fact, the master of all pens.
I use them when I do black and white ink based art. And they are magnificent. Plus, they take a while to run out (unless I use the same one for a whole piece…)

I am reading this comic with a custom black beast of a computer (called Sally) and a big LG monitor. Plus wireless keyboard and mouse.

By the way, Tyler is awesome.
I had the chance to meet him
and he helped me get Encore
Seraphine started. Without his
help, I would have given up in
frustration.

What do you have against cheese?
I *love* cheese, yoga and jazz.
It’s the unholy trinity of the neo
intelligensa who have nothing better
to do on rainy saturday afternoons.

They are good pens, but I only started using them as one was to hand. Who knows, I could have picked up a coloured crayon and this comic would be very different.

Although I’ve drawn a comic about the opposite, the truth is that I don’t mind a bit of yoga and I’m particial to good jazz music… chess however is not my sport, using hands or feet.

i use my my sister’s sakura micron pens, coffee, my purple mechanical pencil with the hook-thing sawn off, my desk, and my lamp. i get most of my inspiration from history class.
my sister and i received a Wacom tablet for our birthday too, hopefully she’ll leave it alone long enough for me to learn how to use it.

Those are very nice pens. They sound like they would be a dream to write with (I don’t draw but I do write).

I’ve never tried yoga, chess, and listening to jazz music all at the same time. It sounds like it would be fun, though perhaps a challenge what with the yoga and the reaching of the chess board. Awesome people could probably move the pieces with their toes if they were in a difficult pose.

I observe them using a Dell laptop and think about them using a custom-made one-off brain supplied by Mum and Dad.
