I Paid the Iron Price

2013-06-20-bm

I like the George R. R. Martin books too. What do YOU think has happened to Jon Snow, gentle readers?

There are three more strips in this little storyline (this one posted September 10, 2013), and then another storyline featuring INEZ, some other comics, and then a big Grand Finale to the Year One stuff, at which point all the gap should be filled between this and the ongoing Year Two stuff. Then everything will be ontologically calm in my world (except that The Man Who Hates Fun still needs an ending, and I never finished the third game in my ZZT trilogy when I was 15, so.)

Five Noble Factors

2012-11-15-bm

A comic commemorating Sun Tzu, author of that classic of military strategy and tactics, War is a Racket. Remember these five noble factors! They can be useful in your own life! A usual interpretation of these factors: Issues involving the weather. Issues involving the terrain of the enemy. The personal character of the enemy commander. The internal logistics of the army. AND: general submission to the individual tendencies of objects under THE TAO. If you correctly calculate these factors in your own force and that of your opponent, you can know the outcome of the battle before it even happens.

So hey: some artwork I did was included in a show called PRESIDENTIAL LOSERS at Salvage Vanguard Theater in Austin. The idea was that a combination of local artists like myself and Big Deal artists like Anders Nilsen, John Porcellino, and Lauren Weinstein would come together to do pictures of people who’d run for president and lost. (I did Geo. McClellan.) The show is becoming a book, with luck, and you can help this process out by contributing to the Kickstarter campaign! They just need $5,000. This seems eminently achievable. DOESN’T IT?

There will for sure be a comic next Thursday, or THANKSGIVING. There will probably also be one Tuesday. See y’alls then
