I have killed my imaginary pet by deleting my link from Facebook to the only game I kept playing. For a long time, the only reason I would log into Facebook daily was to feed the guy and make sure he was happy. Every time I took a weekend off and had to look at his pitiful poor starving posture and filth I wanted the freedom but couldn’t make myself do it. Now I go days without thinking about logging in and it’s wonderful. I think it’s just one of those things that you make yourself need when you don’t. You know those things, like all web 2.0. I’m not going to make any great argument for or against living part of your life online. I certainly am not one to talk either way. But if you should want to leave the net there are a couple of options out there: web 2.0 suicide machine and vanish: self destructing digital data.

Idge, Urgh, and Clarence’s bunny and happy blogiversary
Hey ya’ll, I totally forgot that today was the Bean’s blogiversary. I am so sorry to myself. Only since I remembered, I guess I didn’t really forget and therefore do not need to be sorry. Honestly, I’m not really sure what day of the week it is, but I know that the LeEMS Bean was born on 12/12/2006, or that’s as far as anybody can trace it back, which makes it 6 years old today.

Crisco
the amazing re-sizable kitty. which if you eat enough of, you will not be re-sizable, you will be very large. Crisco that is. don’t eat it straight. that’s not what I meant. and don’t eat my cat either. that’s not what I meant.

24 hour comickers
The other great thing about 24 hour comics day is finding all those other comickers who were doing exactly what you were doing. It’s too bad that the group events don’t post participant web-sites, but there are several individual/web participants listed on the 24 hour comics site.
- Tara Abbamondi, (http://tarabba.com), you’ll remember was/is a comic artist I dug up in last year’s scrapings of 24 hour comickers and then I met her at Megacon – without knowing that I had already read some of her comics online. She’s still awesome and she participated in 24 hour comics day again this year.
- Jade F Lee, (http://www.stego-taco.com), didn’t finish a comic this year but what’s done is FABULOUS! And there are more comics and art for my grubby little eyes to gobble up!
- Chantit Simma (http://wildcats25.deviantart.com/gallery/40129794) wrote an awesome sci-fi fic for 24 hour comics day. Do check it out!
- Angel F Garcia Contreras (http://www.anatoleserial.net/blog/archives/511) wrote up a whole post on the process of 24 comics day as well as scoped out what people were doing on twitter and elsewhere (http://www.anatoleserial.net/blog/archives/517). I didn’t even think to look on social networks I never frequent. Silly me.
- Eric Weathers (http://www.ericweathers.net) finished an awesome comic and posted it here: http://www.ericweathers.net/2012/10/the-adventures-of-thumbson-and-mort.html#more.
- Nyssa Shaw (http://nyssashaw.tumblr.com) does some great shading work. I think my arm would’ve actually fallen off if I attempted something like this.
- Enzo S (http://cheerupemokid.com) and Cheer up Emo Kid comics for 24 hour comics day here: http://www.cheerupemokid.com/comic/24-hour-comics-1
- Tina Bits’ (http://tinabitspics.tumblr.com/) comic is a nice departure – instead of a story, it reads like an advice guide: on issuu
- Matt Loffhagen (http://billyhongkong.com) unfinished but great lines!
- Olov Redmalm (http://redmalm.blogspot.com/) is wow, just wow with music: on issuu.
Though I looked I could find no mention of a 24 hour comic but I couldn’t help but mention:
- Claire K Connelly at http://www.thinkillustration.tumblr.com – most notably her comic the wheat king: http://wheatkingcomic.tumblr.com/
- Amanda Lafrenais at http://www.lovemenicecomic.com
- Adam Lore at http://adamlore.blogspot.com/
- Chelsea McAlarney at http://ruthandannabel.com

Shamelessly cliche. I know, but I had to do it.
Shopping for couches
I was scrolling through pages and pages of couches online in order to get an idea of what I wanted for a new couch. So, that night, I drew couches. I think this may become a shopping thing.
This is pure excellence.
Work In Progress
So, I saved the file while it was in progress and here are the steps. I even made a gif of it cause it was fun.
Wondermark HALLOWEEN SPECIAL
I don’t know how I could have forgotten about Wondermark, but I was reminded a little bit ago and had this comic open in a tab for a over a week now. I’m sorry I’ve been keeping it to myself. It’s not too late after Halloween, is it?
on the tablet
I got this sketching app for my tablet, but hadn’t really used it yet until this afternoon when i was hanging out in a waiting room…
i did this.
