I have been back on comic duty for a week now and it feels good. There is a white hot flame shooting through my body and the skeleton keeps saying "win!" This is a good sign.
The only bad thing that keeps happening is when I read those Scott Pilgrim books by Bryan Lee O'malley and realise that I "must try harder" where "trying harder" is not equal to "copying".
One of the most difficult things about running an international super-web-shop is keeping an eye on the exchange rate. When I appear to be jacking up prices willy-nilly, I'm not - I'm keeping them the same. Please try to remember this as I ruin your pocket-money dreams.
My body is very weak today because I painted the stairway and landing. there were some awkward corners. Awkward like you would not believe with your eyes and senses. I reckon it's going to take three coats because I'm painting on top of the most hideous Laura Ashley wallpaper. I realise that this is a dog rough thing to do but the plaster underneath is ancient.
So if I suddenly disappear from the internet world, don't worry, I've fallen off my ladder down the stairs and am dead. Don't weep for me.
You can help prevent my death by buying a copy of Skellington, my handsome book. Or as I like to fondly think of it, "the financial black hole of Calcutta".

I created a blogger account to agree! 'Scott Pilgrim' (and his creator, Brian Lee O'Malley) rules. Yopu can hardly beat all the awesome inside this book for the low price of a mere $12US!
Best of all, he's doing a book signing in Halifax here THIS weekend to promote SP: Volume 2.
Yes, I do feed off jealousy.
Ok, so I didn't create a blogger account at all. I've had one for two years.

I've had a blogger account for some time now AND I don't have anything to say, except for "Ok."
Also, David Lynch's "Dune" is very underrated.
I'm going to go buy books now.
Just give me a couple of weeks to (a) earn a bit more money and (b) get over the financial Black Hole of Calcutta that is Glastonbury and I will buy a copy of "Skellington" off you. I can use PayPal now and everything!
Please don't fall down the stairs and die. The world would be a poorer place without your internet-based wit and artisticity. Also, you should consider more glamorous ways to die, such as in a speed-boating accident with a party of international film stars, or in a death-or-glory charge towards an invading army of giant mutant hedgehogs.
By the way, "I can punch a man so hard that he farts teeth" is the best line I've heard in AGES.
John, I scraped wallpaper off of my staircase walls this past spring. It was maddening work - took three Saturdays (while painting only took one). Sore shoulders were the norm for a while. I don't blame you for just painting over the old paper, but I hope it doesn't begin to peel on you.
Thanks for the "Skellington" and the nifty drawing inside.
I've painted over a lot of paper in this house for fear of what lies beneath, it never peels because I am a total 100% pro.
I CREATED ONE TOO!
I was inspired by the books. They taught me all the fly skillz I was going to need.

Scott Pilgrim is amazing.
Scott Pilgrim is my hero.
Scott Pilgrim reminds me of Ryan.
Amy should join Sex Bo-Bomb.
