It’s been 2 weeks since the last comic was uploaded!  David and I have been coordinating to incompetence.  Hopefully the next batch makes you smile.

I must carry a small note-book (digital devices are anathema…I still prefer the tactile experience of pen and paper) to get ideas down as soon as they strike, otherwise they’re
often lost in the ether.

Some of the strip ideas come from the news cycle;there’s some pretty surreal things going on at the moment. Example…the joke about the French Govt. considering a law that would make it a crime to “incite thinn-ness” stems from the tragic death of a fashion model from anorexia.
The “bad idea” strip is linked to legislation inspired by Global Warming hysteria…just what we need; government telling us what kind of light bulb we must use/ what kind of car we must drive (California is out-lawing black cars).

The “packet of seeds” limerick was inspired by David Niven’s autobiography that I read years ago. He was asked if he knew any poetry at an audition. He responded by reciting this limerick and got the part! Some things are just etched in my brain; this limerick is one. The theme song from McKenna’s Gold, “Old Turkey Buzzard, sung by Jose Feliciano is another.

I don’t know if “weasel’s piss” is American or English slang…who cares! For me it accurately describes the character of Budweiser and a few others.

I thought I had scheduled a comic for last Monday; I was dead wrong.  My apologies to those of you who came knocking.  The next set of comics are ready to be enjoyed starting tomorrow.

David has been in the studio creating new comics.  There are now 5 or 6 comics ready to roll.  I have also replaced a few of the less than stellar quality comics with a higher quality version.

Let us know what you think, we would love to hear any feedback as Zim and Eugene grow.

As of today, September 2nd, 2008, Zim and Eugene are live to the world!  Expect to see a new comic here every Monday.
