If you have a dog and a cat I have a feeling you have dealt with this yourself. Haven’t you? Coraline has taken to perching herself on the furniture and taking swipes at Frances.

Poor cat doesn’t even realize Frances is just biding her time.

We are all a little sick (no pun intended) of hearing about Swine Flu here at work. Really, I already wash my hands and don’t agree with the over-use of antibacterials but I digress. This morning my coworker Paul and I tag-teamed and replaced the pig mascot (no, really) with a baked ham and dearly departed. FYI – I’m not the cook but I’m sure you figured that out.

I can only hope the hype goes the same way.

So I learned last night that my cat loves to watch hockey. AND she wants to be part of the game. This may not be good for my tv.

Now if I could just get The Wife on board.

Well then, quite a few of you have decided to stick around, I appreciate that. It is just the kick in the pants I needed to stop leaving this site as a waste of space. First off the weekend was fantastic. Yes, I lost my bout at Super Art Fight 5 but really it didn’t matter it was so much fun that losing was ok by me. Anyway, the SAF folks decided to upgrade me to full roster status so it definitely can be said that I was able to win through losing.

You can get a full breakdown of the matches over on the SAF site but here I just wanted to show a little post match photo The Wife took:

See, we do get along and yes, that is paint on Danielle’s hands and my face (what you don’t see is my legs are also covered). D’s red paint marker broke during the first 5 minutes of the match and spent the remaining 25 finding its way on to me instead of the canvas.

So a big thank you to Miss Corsetto, her partner for the match Jamie Baldwin, my partner Kelsey Wailes and all the rest of the Super Art Fight folks.

Now I leave you with a warm-up panel I used to test out my new markers before the show and a promise that while I will not necessarily bring this sketch blog back to daily updates I will start updating it again (in the meantime HWC will stay 5x a week).

So this morning I went to do some cartooning and I realized I left my sketchbook at home… Does that mean I have to, gasp, relax? Seriously though it is nice to have a morning where all I need to do before work is catch up on reading other people’s comics.

Speaking of other people’s comics… Ross over at The System asked for guest art renderings of his popular character, Jimmy the Murderdog. Mine was posted yesterday.

Oh the difference a day makes. Folks we are now on schedule. The new site isn’t perfect but it WORKS!!! I’ll be figuring out what bits need to be tweaked and attended to but the important bit, the comic, is all set and viewable. I am in such a better place today that not even my alarm failing to go off put me out of my good mood.

So yeah, new comic is supposed to launch on Monday. The site still doesn’t work. This is killing me. Here’s hoping.
