MAYBE HE DIDN’T WANT YOU TO LOOK TO THE RIGHT

In case you missed it, there was an extra comic yesterday. Expect another one tomorrow.
Today’s comic is something real-life Cami probably wouldn’t be very happy with. She doesn’t tend to appreciate the strips where I depict her as physically abusive. But it’s a light slap, honest! I just thought it seemed like one of those opportunities where the husband does something well-meaning and the wife flips it around on them like in some kind of family-friendly sitcom. Maybe I’ve been watching too much Everybody Loves Raymond.
In any case, you should really check out the buzzComix incentive sketch I put together. I think it really compliments today’s comic well. I’m really happy with it.
Not much to report at the moment. Oh, hey. The Fantastic Four trailer is online. You should check it out. It’s better than I thought it would be, but I’m still firmly planted in the “wait and see” camp. The Thing still doesn’t look quite right to me. They’re going to have to do something really impressive to wash off the stink of that direct-to-video Roger Corman version from 1994.
Did you notice that I have a few ad spots available? Don’t you think now would be a good time to fill them? I do. Check the advertisements page for all the info you’ll need to place a banner on the site. Pricing, availability, the works.
By the way, you should think about buying some buttons. They’re a lot of fun and I’m getting kind of antsy looking for an excuse to make some more!
I don’t know if I have a lot to say about today’s comic, so if you want to vote for Theater Hopper at buzzComix while you’re waiting for me to conjure up some text, it would be much appreciated. We’re pretty much within striking distance of the number two spot. It would be pretty keen if we could snag it. Like yesterday’s incentive sketch, I’m really proud of today’s offering. I could easily see this design on a t-shirt, I’m that proud of it.
So what about today’s, extra-special Thursday comic? It would seem things are starting to come to a head, eh? Charlie seems to be everywhere Cami doesn’t want her to be. And is it possible she overheard her outburst in Wednesday’s comic? Seems like something is going to break pretty soon. You’ll have to come back tomorrow to see what!
I’m starting to have a lot of fun with the storyline now. Although at this point I kind of feel like I’ve been rushing them around like pawns on a chess table. It’s all been an exercise in moving the action into different locations before setting the stage for a big showdown. But first someone needs to say this so someone else can say this and everyone winds up here. Get the gist?
Really at a loss for words beyond that. It’s kind of late and I’m kind of feeling burned out right now. Think I’ll hit the hay.
