Laughed at seeing Girl Genius finally drop the other shoe on the Zeetha/Baron story - it's been a full _nineteen years_ of comics since those characters last spoke - and then just one sentence. That's some long game Phil and Kaja are playing […]

Mucking about with WebGL, made a live webcam filter to turn video into low-rent copy of A-Ha's Take On Me (details in the alt text)
This sprang from a conversation a couple of weeks back about #songexploder's podcast about it, which is worth a listen https://songexploder.net/a-ha #aha #takeonme

Hey, Portland Oregon!
I'm visiting your fine city and took advantage of this opportunity to drop 6 signed copies of BeaWolf (and one of Augie and the Green Knight) at @powells
If you are around, you can try to get one before they're all gone!
