Today’s comic happened… to me… today… sigh. Ottawa has had SO much snow over the Christmas vacation. In fact, in the last three days or so I must have shoveled about 3 and a half feet of snow off my driveway. Now grated a good deal of that was due to snow drifts that have been blown across the driveway from my lawn, but still. Anyway I did actually have to dig my car out of the snow today. We have two cars and the one that is technically mine was parked on the road so my wife could park her car in the garage. We use that one a lot more because it has snow tires on it and for the moment mine does not… Anyway, there is a fire hydrant on my lawn, but you practically can’t see it anymore with all the snow. So after I had dug the car free, I proceeded to start removing the foot or so from on top… As I was digging guess what I found? A warning ticket for parking too close to a fire hydrant… I had a bit of a laugh about that. Until further digging revealed an actual ticket for not obeying the first one….
I call foul!! How can I obey a ticket when I can’t see it’s there?! And on top of that I had to call the city like three times since the snow has started to get them to come plow the road. I find it typical that they can’t send the plows out but the Ottawa Bylaw can swing around looking for people to ticket…. ah well… Such is life.

Hey guys! Been working a little bit on a map for my next D&D session… thought I’d post some in progress pics.

It has been a while since I’ve done any animation at home and I decided to whip this up while I was watching Warehouse 13 last night. It’s nothing special, but I thought I would share.

Hey Guys!
Finally got around to uploading this image to the site. It was sent to me by Lou Manglass of “Yet Another Webcomic.” Lou’s been reading the comic for a long time now and I actually got to meet him at PAX East this year for an evening of Beer and Munchkin. Lou sent me this piece of fan art just after my son was born and I’ve been meaning to get it up on the site for a while. Either way it’s up now for you all to enjoy! Also, be sure to check out his site to read his comic and check out his process page and gadgets!

It’s not usually that snowy here in Baltimore, but we had more than our fair share so far. Brilliant backgrounds, by the way. Beautiful. It’s certainly a lost art.

Thanks David! Yeah I’ve seen the snow the states is getting this year… I guess it’s crazy all round.

that looks very similar to what is outside my window here in nova scotia. don’t suppose you can lend me your snow shovel? : )

I wish I could! But it seems like snow shovels may become the basis of the canadian economy. Have you seen how expensive they are these days! 30 bucks for a damned couple pieces of molded plastic!
