So it’s been a few days now, and all I have as confirmation that my beer-soaked confederate is still alive and unhanded by the law is a voicemail. I’m not altogether sure as to what he is trying to say. There’s something in there about either Libya or Lima beans going to get theirs and marshmallows being the key to enlightenment. He also seems to make several references to what I hope is peanuts, but knowing him, it’s probably not.

I hope that you all had an enjoyable evening about celebrating what the Irish do best, as we did. It seems important to take at least one day a year and cut completely loose, in order to justify a mountainous breakfast of greasy sausages and hollandaise slathered over eggs. It helps clear out the grit and grime of the daily grind, and if you do take the time to come home and suss yourself out with a multitude of what we’ll call naps, refreshes you for the months ahead.
Awhile back, one of the first comics I started reading Mac Hall ended a sporadic and yet successful run. I was sorely disappointed to see the antics of Ian McConville and Matt Boyd’s both online and offline worlds come to an end – despite the fact there was probably only a period of a few months where they updated regularly. I think the attraction, less so the usually on-the-spot humor, was McConvilles artistic progression. Much like Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade the progression their style and ability was discernible, and the end product (or current product) is a phenomenal bit of artwork.
Noticing a link from yet another comic I read, I happened upon Three Panel Soul, which turned out to be their return to webcomicing. Although my jury is still out on this endeavor, I’ve added it to my long list of regular reads to see how it comes together.
In other news, stay tuned. Sometime in the next month, depending on time and motivation (I am intensely lazy) the site will be going through a refurbishment – to streamline our look, add some characters, and open up the doors to some more community action. We’re also looking for online retailers/merchandisers who might be willing to partner up with us to distribute some booby shirts, coffee mugs and weapons of mass destruction.
Breakfast at Dinner equals Brinner.
