the cat has fallen. the situation is at a loss.

Inhuman update!
(with the inks over on DA)

aaaaand back into the groove.
i mentioned this elsewhere, but i'm kind of messing around with a purple marker on this page trying to see if i can get it to render shadows on both characters and backgrounds a bit more...helpfully. as for the backgrounds, it didn't seem to accomplish much (perhaps i need a darker purple marker?) and on characters it worked - where i was bold enough to use it. still something i'm fiddling with.

let's see. in addition to the other site changes, i added three new comics to the links: trance, kyle & atticus and prequel. i've been reading all three for a while now, and only just got around to linking them. but check all three out. they're pretty good.

the cast page has been updated as well, and there still some things i need to work on getting functional with the new layout. if something breaks for you/is broken, please just let me know!

there's also fanart from Dying Dutchman and Delta93

but hey, who wants some the future is now! style news? YOU DO OF COURSE!

so as you (now) know, you couldn't exactly access the internet if you were in orbit in a space station. yes, life in zero g was harsh. and let's not fool ourselves, a lot of young would-be astronauts probably learned they couldn't get e-mail up there and decided "fuck it, i'll be a fireman instead." but this is a problem NO MORE!

recently, astronauts aboard the international space station successfully used a prototype interplanetary internet service (DTN) to drive a little lego robot around in germany. from space. through the internet.

the exciting thing about this is that this is a more secure method of transfering commands and information across space. see, when we send signals to say, the curiousity rover? they can get muddled, or mixed up, or take too long. DTN is an improvement upon that.

and it'd also mean that if you, say, lived on a martian colony? you could communicate with your internet pals back on earth. sure, the lag would be fierce. but you COULD DO IT. and that? is just hella cool.

oh and i guess i should just mention this. smackjeeves is doing their annual awards thing, and i dunno. if you're a fan of the comic, maybe you'd like to nominate it? inhuman's smackjeeves mirror is a few pages behind the main site, but that'd be the url you'd use to nominate if you had such a mind to. :x usually *if* inhuman gets nominated i don't find out about it until a day before the voting and so can't mobilise any votes, but maybe this time will be different?

i think that's all i've got for you! now i can finish up my coffee. delicious coffee. til next week, folks!

Inhuman update!
(and the inks are up on DA for y'all)

i apologise that this is all i have for you this week, no mishaps or fairy tale. i was kind of derailed by incoming family members and preparing for their visitation. the visit went fairly well! a lot better than i expected, to be entirely honest.

i talked a little bit about ruri's binoculars here, and also went on a small rant about timing with props that was spawned by a really awful webcomic i read recently that is making chekhov roll in his grave from lack of use of their estbalished gun in scenarios a gun would be uh. useful in. prettymuch it boils down to OH MY GOD DON'T INTRODUCE PROPS YOU AREN'T GOING TO USE ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE SOMETHING AS ATTENTION GRABBING AS A GUN!

oh, and if you can't wait for me to finish drawing the images that go with it, the rough draft of the contura planetary write-up is here!

for fanart, there's one from garuda and one from tydusis. check 'em out :v


( safe for work arts, ayup )

before i vanish for another week, let me talk about two fancy science things!

first off, did you know a young lady in egypt has theorized and applied for a patent on a method of propulsion which will, if it is built, completely revolutionize space travel? it's really quite stunning! she doesn't have a lot of cash, though, and neither does her school, so it's uncertain when or how this will be developed. but i really hope it gets made soon!

i had some simpleton argue wthat her theory is "impossible" because the only earth based technology capable of producing her theorized fuel (quantum particles!) is the LHC. even if this were true and these particles were magically found nowhere else in the universe, it's assinine to say that the LHC means we will "never" bring that technology to space. the LHC is one of the first of its kind, and all technological forerunners are larger and ungainly than their later mass produced counterparts. need i point you to ENIAC?

so this girl's idea is brilliant, she is brilliant, and i hope she becomes absolutely famous and rich for her concept. good on you, kid!

the other majorly awesome sciencey thing is abotu some GMOs! you know i love GMOs. GMOs are our friends! modifying a crop to resist a drought is a REALLY GOOD WAY to avoid what we're dealing with now (a food price spike because corn crops cannot yeild in such dry conditions). to suggest that GMOs will KILL US ALL OMG WE'LL GET POISONED AND MUTATE is just as idiotic as saying jumping in a pool of toxic waste will give you mutations and superpowers. please. knock some sense into your head, GMOs are brilliant and wonderful things.

like my new friend the medusoid! bioengineered as an early step in using GMOs to develop treatments for heart disease, the medusoid looks like a tiny jellyfish. it swims like a tiny jellyfish. it probably tastes like one too! but it's been engineered from the cells of a rat heart, and that makes its DNA...a rat. SO LOOK AT OUR ADORABLE JELLYRAT! ITS THE CUTEST RAT EVER!

so while we're building jellyfish out of rats, what's going on with computers? well, i think the first true example of artificial life has been created. it's not self aware (to our knowledge) and hardly advanced, but baby steps man! you have to start with single celled artificial life before you really move into the big leagues, and that's what we've done.

neat, huh?

catch you 'round the solar system, space cadets.

Inhuman update!
(and of course the inks are on DA)

there's also another Unintentional Mishaps page up!

i don't have a whole lot to say about this page. it just is what it is. i wish i could have got the lighting effects better but eh. i'll try something different next time, i guess!

anyway you may have noticed the Speedgamers Widgit on the site! this is because they're AWESOME! also they'll be doing a pokemon gaming marathon in about a week to raise money for ACT Today, but donating opened a little early. if you donate 50$ right now, you can name one of the starter pokemon :O if you donate 25, you can name a trainer. check it out, cause it's for a good cause. details are at The Speedgamers' Site.

back in the inhumanverse, this week kyo answered questions about religions in space, species food allergies, half-blood racism, hugs, 90s rappers, the shard and music.

this week's fanart is from Steph, Hazard, Wing Commander Rudoji, XMantisX and Dawn. wooo


( All this week's art safe for work )

oh and last month's fundraiser? SUCCESS! not everyone used the chipin widgit to donate, but it totally was! so donors, hang tight while i finish up the sticker design for y'all - and then i'll shoot an email your way. non-donors? hang tight, because i'll have data on Morbacks up later this week and be working on another page of Fairy Tale later this month!

tomorrow venus lines up with the sun all pretty for the last time in any of our lifespans :O if you've got nice clear weather, you really should check it out!

that's all i got. later, space cadets.

Inhuman update!
(and yes, the inks are up on DA)

first off, anyone who donated to the chipin and requested a sticker? check your mailbox! they've been sent! they should be arriving in the next few days.
people who are curious about the sticker design? you'll just have to wait and hope one of the donors posts a picture, because i don't plan on releasing the design :o ooooo mystery sticker ooooo

but let me draw your attention to this adorable mite plush that is up for auction, by shady. look at that purplepinkblue fluffpuff. he/she has no bids! that's a travesty! someone should bid on this adorable mite. yes.

i'd also like to thank everyone who's migrated over to the ask kyo tumblr to ask kyo. this week, kyo got to answer questions about The Pushcart War, vampire aliens, bad parties, alien gender roles, zoos and - of course - booze. it's a LOT easier to the tumblr manage than that old spam-ridden guest book, and i enjoy drawing responses a lot more than typing them out. i recently added a new page to it that links a few other Inhuman spin-off character ask tumblrs - the coolest of which is White Sun Pharamceuticals. if you feel like watching a creepy chuian be creepy, i can't think of a better place to go.

oh. related to the comic? i made a mistake with this page. but i fixed it.

in terms of fanart, there's stuff from Aspect, Maniac/Keetah and a commission from Roz Gibson that looks so cool. check 'em out.

there's also the write up about Nikiticha for those who missed the link earlier.

and hey, who's excited about the JUICE mission to search for life on jupiter's moons? THIS GUUUUUY

Inhuman Update!
(and the inks are available for both this and last week's page)

first of all, i apologise for never making a blog post last week. it was a hectic week, to say the least. we were supposed to close on the house but due to general fumbling on the part of the mortgage broker, we had to file for extension -again-. We should be closing this week now, but time will tell.



i have much to say and little space to cover it in so let me get through it fast as i can.

>> The Nikitak Plush...

I spoke with Patchtogether and plushes are apparently the hardest thing to get made. we need a minimum (MINIMUM) of 300 positive votes. i'm not sure if we can make this goal, as we're about 130 short. the alternative is that i will make the plushes by hand, which now that i've found the power line for my sewing machine doesn't sound like such a bad deal. alternately, would people be okay with a nikitak sculpture from PT? let me know your thoughts on this either by commenting here or e-mailing me. i'm going to leave the tally counter up for a little while still, but i need to redraw it. soooo yeah

>> The Shop...
when i was redesigning the site, i took it down again. the issue is...nobody uses google shops. ONE person ordered stickers from it that way, and i can't even figure out how to get their information. i've basicly lost my way back into the shop. someone help me with this so i can refund their money, and person who ordered the stickers please contact me so we can discuss actually getting you your order D:

however, in the next few weeks i'll be changing the shop to emulate Rainbow Cemetery's refurbished game console shop. aka, just paypal buttons. so hang tight, i know this hasn't been a good year for the shop. things WILL turn around soon.

>> Comic Mirrors...
i'm starting a bit of a project to make comic mirrors on various sites (like comicgenesis and smackjeeves) which will update daily with archived pages. basicly the purpose of these mirrors will be to just get a toe in in various comic community websites that by virtue of having my own domain name i've kinda neglected. nobody has to follow/bookmark any of these if they don't want, but i'm writing just to make people aware so nobody thinks i'm getting ripped off.

okay that should do it for the extra-stuff. now, on to the normal stuff.

>> fanstuff...
first off, please enjoy that fanstuff has now been split into fanart and fanfiction. you can get to these by clicking the art & writing tab and selecting either art or writing. and then just saying you want to see other people's stuff vs. mine.

this week (and last week) there was one silly photo edit by Coyote Caliente, a really cute nikitak by Hush-a-Bye, a brand new nikitak by Tydusis, a myche sent with my repaired ipod by Mulder and Dying Dutchman drew a nikitak with a giant muffin. mmm muffins...

i also added Dying Dutchman's Ashido minecraft skin and Ravagefox's dancing nikitak icon to the Downloads.

>> site stuff...
obviously, i did a major update on the site layout. i tried to clean it up a little bit, is what it really comes down to. as you poke around you'll see that more or less it's just easier to navigate. this included splitting the archives into the main archives and the side comic archives.

i also added two new links, one to a comic called Judecca and another to this awesome comic called Skin Deep. you should A+ check them out.

in addition, wolfwings and kane both got arm-deep in code and fixed the forum! so it should be working now, yaaaaay

>> news...
you heard about it right? RIGHT? the thing that shakes our very fundamental understanding of the universe? the thing that everyone said shouldn't be possible, and scowled down on scifi fans for believing in? that thing? NO??? well that thing is the speed of light may have been broken by neutrinos. the speed of light is supposed to be the universal speed limit - things aren't supposed to go over it. but neutrinos keep arriving "earlier" than light speed at CERN. they're looking into it now, and it may take years to either confirm or dispell, but for now you must accept the possibility that light speed CAN be broken.

which pleases me to no end. science fiction almost always predicts science fact. here we have just another example.

speaking of scifi predicting scifact, haven't you ever sat down and thought man - i'd love to see my dreams as a movie. or to imagine my own movie. or to just see people's thoughts visually represented. funny thing, the technology now exists to see brain activity visually represented. imagine the applications to, say, coma victims. suddenly they can communicate with the outside world again, as long as there's brain activity.

brains are funny things, though. they're extremely powerful but they're also very succeptible to suggestion. and some suggestions can be so subtle they're frankly insidious. it should come as no shock that i DO NOT LIKE whole foods. they're just another big box store masquerading as a folksy earthy healthy foods shop. truth is they're just robbing rich nitwits who want to believe they're "helping the planet" blind. what, you don't believe they're just as corporate as any other entity? maybe you've just been brainwashed by their store interior. i still say your produce is going to be fresher from a farm stand and your meat fresher from a butcher/fish shop. call me bonkers.

and that's all i got. oh, wait, one more thing :O

>> Cameo Alert!
Koji & Friends? Now that's a tv show that'd be educational AND hypercolour!

that's all i got. see y'all next week!

Inhuman update!
(and inks? oh yeah they're around here somewhere)


in this page: myches! elevators! alliances!

er, i'd like to write something cool about the last week, but nothing particularly awesome happened. i got a lot of art done for people and read a lot, and sent a lot of paperwork to the mortgage broker. other than LJ's massive downtime, not a whole lot to report.

although! i did submit a nikitak plush design to PatchTogether. it hasn't been approved yet, i'll let you know when it is. but you guys should go to PT now and make an account. only people with accounts can vote, and when the plush is approved it will need lots of positive votes in order to be made.

i also suggest people make accounts at graphic.ly. just cause y'know...you might want one. at some point. hint hint.

>> fanstuff...
got a couple little things this week! first of all, elenawing has graciously drawn a sketch of grey! ravagefox returned with three new doodles of theoruf the nikitak skulking about in his super-sciency way, and gloucester created a fantabulous rendition of his hedonistic space dionysus nikitak! check em all out!

oh and if you drew fanart? feel free to e-mail it to me!

>> art stuff...

( all safe for work, yessiree )

>> site stuff...
okay, don't kill me...i'm TRYING OUT the scribol widgit. i was approached by the owners of scribol and asked to give it a try (not a form letter) and after some teeth-pulling to be allowed the right to withdraw my content at random, i agreed to give it a go. it should be blocked by most ad-block software if you hate it, but for those who aren't using adblock PLEASE let me know if it causes any problems for you. if it turns out to be trouble and i get no traffic from it, i'll pull it.

i also am starting up a new chipin, but this one has a specific goal :O A NEW SCANNER! :O! :O ! :O! :O!:!O!!:O!:!O!:!O!
but icarus, why do you need a new scanner?
well my young reader, my scanner is quite simply put, crap. it works well for documents, but its specs are quite low. it doesn't scan all colours, and has a very small scanner bed. it's really not for art or photographs. so this month's chipin is for a new scanner.

now, i could continue to just tough it out with my old scanner. but due to *things i can't discuss because i signed an agreement not to* i need to make nice rescans of the older pages, and i'd really like them to be as pretty as they are in reality. or at least close to that. i really want to do this right, but with the new house on the horizon i can't justify taking it out of my own savings (all of that is reserved for downpayment and repairs). on the upside, donaters will recieve a complimentary set of new stickers and alien pins. so yeah :O

(hey did i mention you might want a graphic.ly account...?)


>> news...
oh gosh, where to begin! it's been a HUGE exciting week for those of us who believe in extraterrestrial life. first off, there's a massive cache of water vapor surrounding a distant quasar. this is the farthest documented water source in our universe. a lot of nay-sayers like to tout that since life on earth finds water so essential, for life to exist in the universe besides ourselves there must be water and WELL HOW MUCH WATER DO YOU SEE ON MARS OR THE MOON HEM HEM. funny thing is, water appears quite common in the universe. in fact, it rains water on saturn. and as all of us remember from elementary school, saturn is a planet relatively close by.

since water is just hydrogen and oxygen, it's not that rare. hydrogen is the most common element in our known galaxy (universe?) and oxygen isn't all that rare either. some stars actually give off oxygen as they die.

since America has nixed their manned spaceflight program and Russia has decided to sink the International Space Station in 2020, these little things are all that keep us believers going these days. our technology is fabulous at this point. we can even create videos of rotating planetoids in our asteroid belt!

but we're not downhearted. not entirely, anyway. you see, the era of COMMERCIAL manned spaceflight has only just begun. not being backed by governments, commercial spaceflight may (at least initially) have more money than NASA to pour into development. in fact, one of them has enough money to run a raffle, the prize of which is a flight into space. it's even free to enter! (you're welcome for that link, by the way)

oh, and people may be feeling a little mopey because Chinese phycisists have decryed tiem travel... but stop and consider the fact that a week before they did so, the Chinese government banned time travel shows from TV. yes, it's Unpatriotic in China to believe in time travel. so i wouldn't trust them on that one, really...

oh, and by the way, Google+ won't ban you from your other google accounts for a fake name anymore. you're good to go on a superior social networking platform!

see you next week, compadres & comrades

Inhuman update!
(actually there's been two since i last updated, so here's inks for page 413 and here's 414!)

my aplogies for not posting the last few weeks. it was the end of the school year, which meant shit was going BANANAS! but now it's all over, and i can settle in for a nice relaxing summer. a nice, relaxing summer. a nice...oh who am i kidding.

there's also a new No Booty Calls up! And the tip jar has been rebooted, cause a lot of my markers are running dry and i...can't afford to replace them if we're saving for a house :x anyway!

real world junk...
it's only been a week (well more like 5 days) of vacation, and already stuff's gone wonky. the house we'd put a bid in on suddenly was pulled off the market by the owner (a bank) and is now going to be an auction. we have no details on that auction, and i'm a little nervous about even bidding on an auction house. what if we bid, win, and then it won't pass home inspection? part of our whole contract/bid was that it had to pass an inspection before we would consider buying it. why you gotta hate, fannie mae :< so now we're looking at other houses...and that's pretty time consuming in and of itself.

also, for those following the tumblr, there's been some rediculous drama involving my neighbor the crackhead and some neglected kittens. it's apparently reached a point where even the fire department knows about it, because the crackhead won't stop harassing them. at this point the landlord is waiting for her to say she'll get rid of the cats so the kittens can go safely to a shelter. but i've learned one thing from this ordeal so far. never bet against a crackhead being crazy as all hell. they are crazy. crazy as all hell.

i've also been reading voraciously. in fact i've run out of books until my new one arrives in the mail next week. this is a problem. I NEED A HIT OF LITERATURE, SWEET SWEET PROSE.

i also completed my global pokedex in pokemon White! HORRAY!! also got two of my three teams to level 100! DOUBLE HORRAY! so if anyone needs help with their pokedex now, i can actually assist. don't be afear'd to ask :>

fanstuff...
i've been stockpiling it, like a boss. which is very different from organizing it, don't get me wrong. the sprite artist Mantis is back with 4 new sprites! ShiftySketch has graced us with 3 doses of Nare the Myche! Rudoji is back to drawing him and milo in piloting gear again. boys will be boys. Maniac made byootiful kyosticker and also an adorable drawing of hazard cuddling plushes...including a koji plush. Chaz sent 2 pieces of artwork with the markers i had to order from the UK, which he graciously acted as a go-between for. thank you again, chaz! and of course, Dying Dutchman returned- this time with some art of his Morback, Gavin. he's really improving a lot! you should check it out!

art stuff...
why yes, yes i do have something to put here this week!

( all safe for work )

site stuff...
as i mentioned, the tip jar is back up due to a severe need for markers. also coffee. and possibly more books. but if you're not cool with tips, that's okay, because since it's summer i also can actually do commissions! so there's that too.

hopefully i'll have the shop up and running soon...it's currently a matter of finding a nice, free OScommerce skin that i can use since the default makes me think i'm on a pokemon website from '99. or serebii.net. either one.

news...
wow, uhm. where to begin. gay marriage is legal in new york now, that's a good place! here's my first and final word on the subject: WOOHOO!

moving on.

ever wish you could just plug something into your skull and instantly know how to, say, perform complex first-aid procedures? well, soon your wish may become a reality. this "brain expansion" chip already works in rodents, and scientists are making efforts towards getting it to work with primates as well. please avoid any kung fu related jokes. or i might have to zap you with my laser.

what's that you say? humans can't produce lasers? sure we can, with a little help from jellyfish DNA! i went into a little more excited detail on this elsewhere, but here let me just say that finally being able to have laser eyes would be goddamn badass. just don't go giving them to komodo dragons, or next thing you know tokyo will be in big trouble.

and okay, holograms are cool. nothing like pinching the miniturized holographic head of emperor palpitine. but it's always been MISSING something. that actual, physical sensation of squishing a head perhaps? at least it won't be missing long! japan (of course japan) is working on touchable holograms. one step closer to virtual reality...

whew. that's a lot of news. now, off to find an OScommerce template! and also watch about 400 episodes of the twilight zone.

don't forget to like inhuman on facebook and share it on twitter, please!

Inhuman update!
(the inks were on DA for a while now :B)

i'll try to make this short and sweet. the comic took forever because my family came up for a visit. and in less than two hours proceeded to wreck the apartment, terrify the dog and make us miss the hours at the museum. it's really kind of impressive.


real world junk...
well, my vacation ended and i didn't get nearly as much as i wanted to done. AND the D&D game ended, and i dunno i'm a bit relieved. i still call shenanigins on my character being the only one to die. i wasn't even bloodied (half your hp)! if i'd actually died i could have teleported away (i had a skill for that) but it felt kind of...skewed. i dunno, i'm missing star wars RP more than anything anymore :B alas and alack, there's no group playing.

i DID acquire a brand new painting from maniac_online! and alfonzos2112 managed to snag a brand new/used office chair to replace my old broken plastic chair. livin high on the hog here.

fanstuff...
shiftysketch has been causing chaos on minecraft, building giant nikitaks. dragonlover (new artist!) created his own personal nikitak plush. chaz updated saardinen's look, and delta93 developed his own version of nikitak armor. i also got some little doodles from maniac when her painting arrived!

art stuff...

( all safe for work, unless sniffing markers is unsafe for work )

news stuff...
regretfully, i only have bad news this week. mega nerds might know what SETI is. non mega nerds might not, so let me just explain it in a sentance: it's a giant array of dishes scanning the cosmos constantly for evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. and the sad thing is? SETI is out of money, and shutting down. that means that if aliens are out there, we may never be able to hear about it. we've effectively shut down one of our ears on the stars. for people who Want To Believe like me, that's a major bummer :<

and we all know Bill Nye the Science Guy, yeah? yeah. he's a kid-friendly tv scientist. but apparently in texas, he was boo'd off the stage for stating a basic scientific fact. was it evolution? heat death? global warming? nothing so scandelous. all he said was that the MOON REFLECTS THE SUN'S LIGHT. and apparently *THAT* is too much for the ultra-right to handle. is ignorance the newest political fashion in the south? what the hell, man. if we don't understand the world we live in, we're going to slaughter our own species.

oh and i should mention that there's a petition going around that you all should sign. a woman was brutally beaten in a mcdonalds, and nobody did anything to stop it. why was she brutally beaten? she was born a man. big flippin' deal, in my opinion, but apparently the employees and patrons at this sicky dees thought that was justification to nearly kill her. so wanna make some good happen this week? sign the petition. make sure stuff like this doesn't happen again.

this week requires some intelligence and effort on your part to make it stop stinking. i know y'all can do it. make some positive change this week, guys. plant a tree, sign a petition, open the door for someone in a wheelchair, donate to charities. be a human being. and i'll see you on the flipside.

later, taters.

Oh, but if you were considering a mac in hopes it would help you to go green and help the planet this week? you may want to think again.

Inhuman update!
(and since it's a main page, there's inks! Inks for everyone on DA!)

my markers arrived on weds. in the mail and THANK GOD. no more trying to choke the last bits of black ink out to give ben his fur or aslilin her hair. no more crossing my fingers and hoping the last remaining greys (cool 4 and 5) would hold out enough to at least get aslilin's outfit looking SIMILAR...



i liked the format i used last time so i'm going to stick with it for a bit.

real world junk...
not a whole lot going on. there were job interviews had, and unemployment filed for. though this is a total red-tape state so who knows when it'll go through. tax returns arrived, which will mean that we can probably pay rent for next month when it comes time. all in all just kind of a tough time. tavanaka is coming over tomorrow to hang out though, and promises to bring cookies. cookies are always appriciated. also as i wait on my art teacher certification, i'm gathering a list of folks who will write me letters of reccomendation for a theatre tech teacher job within the school. i'm hoping to get ahold of some of my fellow techs here online, too, and add them to the bundle. the more the merrier.

fanstuff...
lesse. human ameoba drew two new bits of fanart, including a hekshanian grey :v Milo drew a chuian riding into race-day on koji's back, and kilo arrived a little late to the new-years party...but better late than never, right? thanks guys!

art stuff...
not a lot this week. it's been busy, and pretty stressful. :B

( only one more under here, safe for work )

charity drive...
donations have been very slow to charity lately. this is the last month to do this, though, guys! March third is when the drive ends. blood banks are STILL really low on blood so if you can, i really urge you to give blood right now. giving blood saves lives, and when we're low on blood a lot of people who need help in the winter just plain won't get it. visit a bloodmobile, folks! help someone out!


news stuff...
first off, i hate to be a downer but if you're an american? i strongly, STRONGLY urge you to sign this petition. there's currently a push to redefine rape. specifically, women who are drugged, underage, dating their rapist before they're raped? yeah, according to the changes they want to make, that's no longer rape. this means that those women can't use their health insurance which would cover rape to help themselves OR to get abortions after being raped.

the main argument the GOP is making is that this is 'costing the taxpayer' but i believe the daily show did the math and it turned out to be something like one TENTH of a penny per year. i think even the most jewish of us (read: me) can spare THAT. so sign this petition, let women be the ones who stay in charge of what happens to their bodies, and let's NOT enable rapists. kay?

in less serious newsy-news, robots are getting their own internet.

WHAT'S WITH THIS CRAP, ARE THEY NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO SHARE OURS? this is a disgrace! this is robodiscrimination! or maybe homodiscrimination! I DEMAND FAIR AND EQUAL USE OF BOTH ROBOT AND HUMAN INTERNETS! and the opposition can bite my SHINY METAL ASS >:( wait...

and hey, remember when i posted those crazy UFO videos a few months back? apparently they're back! in israel! on my birthday! DAMNIT GUYS, IM A JEW BUT THAT ISNT WHERE I LIVE. i'm never gonna catch that flight outta here at this rate. i mean i told them EARTH, i guess i could have been slightly more specific...

alright, alf's hogging all the tasha-time and there's nothing funnier than a big fat dogsausage racing around the house so i'm out. next week, droogs!

Inhuman update!
(and yes, there are inks up on DA as usual :o)



first of all let's start off with the AMAZING news. the charity drive this year has surpassed all other years...and it isn't even january yet! 13k raised! vast amounts of that are food donations, donating time to non-profit organizations and donations of old items/clothing. seriously, this is amazing!


second, lemme interject here that our holidays were lovely. lotta warm fuzzies going around. in the end my loot consisted of a bunch of vintage line star wars toys (which went well with the rifftrax of the star wars holiday special) and this little robot dilophosaurus i've been wanting for the entire year. ren got nothing, because she's bad. tasha got a tug o' war rope toy and the fish got frozen brine shrimp. and alf got a red cobra HISS tank, a remote control helicopter and a bunch of other stuff. we took cookies to the police department and just in general had a fine time of it. i can not in memory recall a holiday quite that nice :O

there won't be a page this weekend, but there will be a new years filler, as there has been ...well every year prior :B we're not planning a new years party or anything anymore (alf got stomach flu) but i still like to keep up tradition. another year down, droogs.

there was some great fanstuff cast my way this holiday from chaz, Milo (who created a metal chuian), vudw and jake autumn. thank you, guys!


( all safe for work art in here )

in the realm of SCIENCE! they've worked out a new way to store and create solar fuel. the machine acts like a plant does...absorbs light and co2 and spits out air. a power generator that creates air. the implications of this are pretty staggering, but i bet we won't be hearing much of it until the oil wells run 100% dry. but hey, a solar-powered car that creates oxygen? i'm for it!

and hey, i know i linked you to the star wars holiday special. and i'm sorry about that. but if you want to see the only portion of it that won't burn your retnas out of your skull on contact, this stylized 1970s animated segment featuring boba fett should do you nicely. it is, however, still awful. and i'm more or less certain the animators were on a great deal of drugs. but hey, fett's first appearance.

oh, hey. got leftover holiday money still to burn? Nikitak t-shirts are still 10$, but i'll be putting them back to normal price about mid-january and won't be reprinting them. i'm already out of XXL, running low on some of the other sizes. just fyi :O

hey, that's all i got. see you in 2011, droogs! i'm off to tend to the stomach flu'd.
