Diabetical

There is a lot of speculation in the historical and religious community about just how and why Halloween came about and what its symbolism means. I am here to tell you that they are all terribly mistaken. Lil K has, in his childish wisdom, solved that problem.

Albeit, with some unfortunate casualties.

I’ve always felt a bit bad for severe diabetics at Halloween, I imagine it must be like being Jewish around Christmas here in the States. Assaulted by imagery and foods that could very well destroy you for at least a day every year can’t possibly be fun. And yet, they persevere, a clear indication of tremendous constitution: both physical and spiritual. I salute them.

To everyone, I hope you have a very enjoyable Halloween, La Dia De Los Muertos, or whatever Pagan Rituals you may subscribe to. If you happen to see any cryptozoological creatures (perhaps a Sasquatch?), do forward your photographs to me: k@10km.org.

With Friends Like These…

With Friends Like These…

Yesterday was my birthday. Er, actually, today is my birthday. I am writing this on my birthday. Essentially, I am hoping that by writing this on Thursday, my birthday powers will somehow continue into Friday in a shower of gifts and good wishes. I figure that if that happens, the weekend will just give in and continue the celebration.

And if that happens, what then? Perhaps every day will be my birthday. That would be great.

My real life birthday was quiet and pleasant in the ways that I love best. I got wonderful gifts from people I love and a fantastic cake with Sasquatch on it that read, “Have a Birthday”; a capital idea that I followed up on.

Some news to repeat in case you missed it:

There is a charity event TOMORROW, that is, SATURDAY the 17th. RPGamer.com is doing a 24 hour gaming marathon which my good friend Victor (who worked on Happle Tea with me before it was Happle Tea) is taking part in. If you can donate, they would appreciate it. All proceeds go to the Texas Children’s Hospital.

The forums are now up. They are, however, in their infancy and, like an infant, they don’t know or do very much. It is up to us to teach them and fill them with interesting things.

The store is also up but the selection is limited. Right now there is a 10kM illustration and you can acquire any HT strip in print for $5. There will be a new print up this weekend, most likely, that will have the same design as featured on the newest wallpaper I posted.

The Owling (Moving Out – Part 3)

The Owling (Moving Out – Part 3)

Don’t ever leave home.

You may be replaced by an owl-doppelganger.

School is devouring much of my time now, but I am doing well at keeping up with the comic. I am also drawing a ton in my sketchbook, something I usually don’t do. We, here at 10km, have a sketch blog that we rarely update, but we’re planning to start scanning and posting animations there soon. When that happens, I will let everyone know so you can check it out if you wish.

Leaving the Nest (Moving Out – Part 1)

Leaving the Nest (Moving Out – Part 1)

This is a strip about life, about moving up and moving on. It is about leaving the metaphorical nest to live in a literal one. With owls.

I’ve moved into my apartment here in Brighton with Sweet William and our friends Matt and Jessica. It is a nice place and only moderately expensive. To help pay for the place, William and I are going to be offering prints and other things soon, perhaps buttons. We’ve also begun to plan our convention schedule for next year! How exciting!

Our studio will finally be a lot easier to manage now that we’re in the same building, which is wonderful. I have to say, I’m really looking forward to the year ahead.

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has donated money. You don’t have to do it and that’s why it makes it even more awesome that you have. I’ve been putting the money toward some advertising and saving some for printing costs later on. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate it! Thanks as always to everyone commenting and telling friends!

To thank you all, I have done some extra work and created this fun little wallpaper for your of Lil K and his monstrous companions!

Roommates

Roommates

I am moving soon to an apartment in Greater Boston. Roommates and living situations and moving have been on my mind for the the last week or two and let me tell you, if someone takes my orange juice, there shall be retribution.

That is all I have to say about that.

I am fairly intrigued, personally, about Sasquatch’s fatherhood. There are authors and writers who will tell you they do not write a story, they tell a story as it comes, as though it were a tale from another world. I would be terrified of the world this particular fever dream comes from, if that is the case. I cannot say that I always know where this strip is going or what the story behind the characters is, but it is funny to keep bringing up Sasquatch’s child. Some day, perhaps after thousands of Happle Tea strips (Raptor Jesus, let it be so) someone will collect the facts laid before them and give us a proper family tree for the characters and provide a full background for each one. Odin knows I will sure as shit not be doing it.

Though that might be an interesting thing to include in a Happle Tea book.

Off-Putting

Pro tip: Do not tell people about your dreams. If there is no sex or if I am not in them, I do not want to hear about them!

That is a joke.

But really, it is funny when we tell others our dreams as they can often be very strange indeed. Dreams obviously are not controllable so you can’t be held accountable, but they can give us some small insight into the unique and disturbed psyche of individuals.

Sometimes it is best not to bring these things up.

As for me, I do not often dream. I have a tendency to get my personal oddities out on paper, often in strip format. The evidence of my own lunatic brain is before you.

When I do dream, I have a tendency to dream in animation or even comic page format. Do not ask me how that works, I cannot explain it.

Anticlimactic

Anticlimactic

If only Twitter could be put to some use defending humanity from the likes of evil sorcerons everywhere, maybe we wouldn’t be facing threats from magical terrorists. It’s quite a shame that, in reality, it consists of people just shouting nonsense into the internet void.

I am still working on getting some things situated around here. I’d like to get the store up and get some prints done, as well as put some forums up. I’m a little slow on these extra things, what with work and putting the strips together, but hopefully I’ll have them done soon. I still have a few other tweaks and edits I’d like to sort out as well.

Once again, thanks to everyone visiting the site, leaving comments, and telling your friends about Happle Tea. It is always very much appreciated.

The Wicker Man

The Wicker Man

Even acting at his best, Nicholas Cage is clearly a soulless husk set forth by wizards to terrorize the populace with his painful portrayals of actual human beings. I can’t decide if this is awful or interesting. A wicker construct playing at life as an actor seems terribly ironic. Sasquatch knows it’s true!

The sad part is, nothing can be funnier than the reality of the man himself.

For those of you that have never seen The Wicker Man starring Nicholas Cage, I highly recommend you watch it. Not because it’s good. No, of course not that. But rather, because it is hilarious. He punches a woman square in the face. He screams something about bees, and he is ultimately burned alive. Did I ruin the movie? No. The movie ruined itself. For examples, click the Nicholas Cage link above, you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve begun including links to supplemental material. You should browse them, I hope they will bring you happiness.
