I’ve just submitted my first (of hopefully many) shirts to woot.com. If you have an account, and you fine my work pleasing please go and vote for my shirt.

It’s a combination of previous comics, so that makes it self referential, which is one of the critical design elements, right?

Being an owner of both a mustache and a beard, I have a special place in my heart for women who… um, have a special place in their heart for facial hair. Here are two of my favorite songs about face fungus:

Zoe: “Optional Accessory”  

Sophie Madeleine : “The Beard Song” 

Now, I’m the sort of girl who is equally happy sitting down with her knitting to watch Masterpiece Theatre on a lazy afternoon as I am to go out with the boys to watch My Bloody Valentine 3D. Sure, sometimes I mix things up a bit - y’know, maybe I’ll work on a little embroidery while I watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or I’ll play with Legos while I listen to the Wuthering Heights audiobook - but rarely do I see such an incredible melding of these two worlds as this new book by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. From the Chronicle Books website: “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen’s beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead.” The only disappointment is that I have to wait until April 15 to read it.

I’m so jealous of these kids. They get to play around with a giant ass screen (actually a bunch of screens networked together). A fellow named Daniel Shiffman teaches a class and writes books about a programming language called Processing. I’m slowly learning the language in my spare time following along with this book (Which is excellent btw). Here are some videos of his giant screen:
