A four-panel black-and-white comic by Madscott. The recurring bearded man interacts throughout with a small boxy robot — roughly the size of a toaster — that speaks only in nonsense beep words. Panel 1: The robot says "Bleep bop" and the man, looking startled, replies "Oh hi, I was just leaving." Panel 2: The robot says "Beep florp" and the man stares at it wide-eyed, responding "Wow, you're the entire internet." Panel 3: The robot faces away, emitting a dejected "Borp..." while the man asks "And how's that working out for you?" Panel 4: The robot says "Boop" and the man, now leaning in with a sympathetic expression, responds across three bubbles: "Ouch, I can see how that could suck," "Maybe you need a new hobby?" and "Maybe knitting." The comic personifies the internet as a small, weary machine having a rough time — and the man's sincere suggestion of knitting as a therapeutic outlet lands as a warmly absurd act of kindness.

Hobby

Have you tried a new hobby... not the old one.. a new one.

May is coming!

What used to be called SpringCon is now MSP ComicCon (I liked springcon better). I always feel like I’m caught off guard. This is good for you though because it’s a motivating factor to me getting off my ass and putting comics up. msp comiccon

Fall Cleaning

If you live somewhere warm you likely have spring cleaning events where you shake off winter and prepare for a glorious summer. In Wackapoodle Wisconsin we have a different tradition Fall Panic. This event happens shortly after the first good frost when you have to scrape your windshield for the first time this season. It’s when you realize that all of the mess you made in the garage over the summer is preventing you from parking your cars inside where they will stay warm-ish. I spent a big part of Sunday working on cleaning up my garage. I’ve done a half ass job the last few years. I’ve piled things up. I’ve avoided throwing things out. I honestly can say that the collected amount of dirt I found was disgusting. I did manage to improve on a work bench. The bucket system I use for holding tools can now stack on a shelf rather then get kicked across the floor. The extra siding for the house is now in the rafters. I have started a pile of junk in the middle of the room and I’m honestly not sure I have enough garbage cans to get it all out at once. I’ll have to take photos of it once I’m done. I’d take a before picture but it’s honestly embarrassing.
