Garbage Day, Issue 6: Winnie Bueller’s Day Off

I decided to drop the ranting (which is rarely intentional) and the contradicting myself *waves at Greg’s Brain Handles site* this week and make a shiny, happy blog – where people hold hands and love the sweetest villain ever – Jasmine (only “Angel” fans will get that).  Gone are the days where I note that I tell my kids that I saw people getting slimed in the days when You [Couldn’t] Do That On Television - and by “gone”, I mean until next week when I start whining/ranting/making absolutely no sense (as opposed to making a smidgen of sense).  Okay, obviously I shouldn’t be so optimistic as far as my ability to leave the rants behind (but hey – the first step’s admitting it) – I mean, it’s common knowledge that Charlton Heston stole “from my cold, dead hands” from me (but not, “Soylent Green is made from people!”)  when he and I were at our Neckerchief Enthusiasts (N.E. – as in “not getting…”) meeting talking about someone ripping my ranting away…

Pump Up the Valium

…because May sweeps is killing me.  I’m losing several shows to cancellation as well as being inundated with ridiculous endings/decisions on others and am faced with the ranting (I mean, who does that? *lowers head in shame*) of other fans on the ones I was happy about.  Of course, I’ve never run a show (or stopped it, or been the PHAT lady who sings, which I think I was discriminated against; just like when I applied at Hooters and was turned down even after I swore I’d “put ‘em on when I got there” each day), or written for one, or really done anything but watched one and commented on it. Come to think of it – that is pretty sad – to complain, but not contribute to the betterment of television in a proactive way rather than a reactive one.  But hey, there are people who make money off of complaining about, er critiquing shows (*waves lovingly to TVGuide.com’s Matt Roush*), so I’m only half as bad as I think you thought I pondered to figure I was.  Don’t you think?

For those of you that are fans of my work and the Webcomic Beacon, I’ve got good news for you. I forget if I’ve already posted about this when I was working on it, but a few months back I decided I’d design some cover art for the Webcomic Beacon Podcast. Since this was the first podcast to ever mention STC, they will always have a special spot in my heart. If you want to see the post, you can click here. It’ll lead you to the episode. 

And remember. The Webcomic Beacon records live on talkshoe at: http://www.webcomicbeacon.com/live .

Well, if you’re a trusted member of the STCommunity, then you already know the premise. I’ve got 2 nephews and one niece that occasionally send me drawings through the mail. To encourage their correspondence, I’ve promised them I’d send them a sketch back with my version in return. Below is the latest piece, from one of my nephews.

For those of you not already avidly following me on Twitter, I recently got a new job. Last week began my first of 7 weeks of training. Along with a large binder of info to consume, we are also given a legal pad to write on. So with the help of this trusty pad, and my issued pen, I did the following sketches.
