The Greatest Form of Entertainment

Can you guess my greatest source of entertainment these days? It's junk food. Pathetic, I know. Junk food is the only reliable mood lifter that I have. I guess technically it's not entertainment, but what else do I have? I hate 99% of movies, TV, books, comics, etc. I can't even mindlessly zone out in front of the TV without frothing the second a commercial or a cliched sitcom device pops onto the screen. How can you people stand any of that shit?

Okay, so I hate the entertainment industry. I could have at least said that my 14-month-old daughter is my greatest source of entertainment, right? It is true that she gives me the greatest laughs, along with all that sappy stuff that comes with being a father . But that comes at the draining cost of raising a toddler. Junk food, on the other hand, is pure instant gratification -- no strings attached. Okay, fine, it costs money. And, yeah, it causes weight gain and harms your health in the long run. Geez, you just want me to admit that I hate everything, don't you? Fine! I HATE EVERYTHING! Shit!

Lookin' Good, Frumpmaster!

Here's a little self-portrait that I did at work while looking at myself in a tiny, rear-view driving mirror that you can buy at a gas station. (I got the rear-view mirror to catch dorks sneaking into my cubicle from behind me.) I can't vouch for the likeness, but I captured the mood quite accurately.

UltraCrispy Issue #1 Posted

The inaugural issue is live. The web site is sparse, but we'll flesh it out over time. Special thanks to Myles Matheson, who ended up providing much more material for the issue than I ever expected. I can't say when the next issue will arrive, but I've already made decent progress on it. In between issues I'll be posting here quite a bit (I think). I certainly have lots of sketches I can post. See ya soon.
