(I did not, in fact, stay out, but went home, had a quick nap, and am now useful again.)

I accidentally looked at YouTube without being signed in, and saw the raw, unfiltered sewage of the internet.

In other Hallowe’en-adjacent news, I made a pair of pumpkins to decorate our house, and to test out making cardboard cutouts for the outdoors.

Alas, my weatherproofing efforts were insufficient.

The images on the front were preserved, but the Thompsons WaterSeal wasn’t enough to protect the rest of the cardboard from getting soggy in the rain.

Back to the drawing-board!

On the weekend I saw a fella on Saturday jogging down my street while holding two bags of potato chips. I had so many thoughts.

We’d just had our weekly Family Meeting and chosen Alanis Morrisette as October’s “Artist of the Month”, so on seeing this jogger my husband and I naturally turned to each other and asked “Isn’t it ironic?”… then, of course, questioned whether this was, in fact, ironic — as we all do since people started snarking at that song.

It’s been a jam-packed year so far, and this site’s been up and down as I messed around with my server, but that’s matter for a future post. For now, I just wanted to come back and say hi.

Hi.

Comic drawn at the “Still Zine” event.

While fiddling with the cruise control I discovered that the car has steering assistance. Oh my word, it’s lovely!

Yeah yeah, I know, “Don’t rely on the technology, keep your hands on the wheel, pay attention” etc, and I did all that, but what a lot of effort it relieves to have the car keep itself at a steady speed and squarely positioned in the lane.

I’m the first to admit that there’s a lot wrong with our current technologies, but it sure is nice when inventors get it right.

P.S. The second panel makes A. look like a little kid, but he was just slumped down in the chair.
