Hey Guys, just a heads up on Thurday’s strip…. I have been unexpectedly asked to help my sister in-law move tonight and since I do the bulk of Thursday’s strip on Wednesdays, the strip will be posted on Friday this week.  I hope that everyone understands…

So I just watched the first episode of the new Knight Rider series… where to begin. First of all the new Kit is a Ford Mustang GT Cobra and it is definitely a really sweet ride. The virtual HUD that Kit can display across his windshield is pretty awesome as well… But that is pretty much where the good stuff ends.

I’m not sure if the writers of this show truly realize just how stupid they believe the average Television watcher really is… but the absolute bullshit they are expecting their potential fans to swallow is astronomical! Apparently now Kit can transform from a Mustang, to a Pickup Truck and a “suped-up” version they call “Attack Mode.” Yeah so these guys seem to think Kit is a cheap transformer Knock off or something. But Kit seems pretty believable when you hold it against the rest of the show.

The Acting in this show is just this side of an elementary school production of Peter Pan. The atrocious dialogue is paired with the cast’s almost uniformly unrealistic reactions to situations and complete lack of depth of character. I am almost positive that the cast finds the show as unbelievable as the audience does. There was a scene in the show where Michael and his female costar are in the car which is covered in some kind of SUPER NAPALM that can’t be extinguished ( even with Kit driving at 377 mph ) and the internal temperature is climbing past 140 degrees Celsius… and there is barely a drop of sweat on either of them… that doesn’t stop Micheal’s love interest from suggesting they remove their clothes however…. Obviously a lame attempt at adding sexual tension between the characters… funny thing is that it doesn’t work… And as the temperature pushes past 150… still no sweat…. When the fire actually IS extinguished the rescue team rushes in and pops open Kit’s still pristine doors ( which are now miraculously cool enough to touch ) to save the half naked duo. More stuff happens after this that is equally ridiculous but I’ll save you the pain of having to listen to it.

This show is quite literally an insult to my intelligence… everything about is just completely impossible to accept… and trust me I was willing to suspend my disbelief on this one, I really was… but there is only so far that I can go. If you haven’t seen this show please do yourself a favor and don’t waste an hour of your life on it… Do something more constructive… like digging a hole in your backyard and filling it in again. I don’t understand how people gave these people money to produce this steaming pile of crap…. Guys, if you really want to just give money away I would be happy to oblige… No really… anytime, just send me a cheque.

Knight Rider, what a waste of time…unless you enjoy vomiting in your mouth while you watch TV…

Hey there Console Hoppers… So this week has been all kinds of nuts!  The sickness I mysteriously contracted ( I suspect my wife to be the culprit ) really put me out of sorts, which definitely had ill effects on my production schedule.  But now the worst of it seems to have past and things are more or less back to normal.  I thought…  Today when I came home at lunch to take Amanda to college, she was complaining of a sore throat, and stuffed nose…. again!  So I’m planning on devouring large quantities of Vitamin C and building a barrier of pillows to insulate my precious mortal form when I go to bed tonight.

So Amanda and I had our first of three visits to the building construction company to pick out some “upgrades” for the house we are building this year.  I thought that this experience would be either a game of resist the pressure to buy all sorts of useless crap or being scared into upgrading everything to some god awful hypoallergenic bullshit building materials… but it was neither.  The sales lady did not try to push anything on us and answered every question we had about the various options we were looking at.  All in all it was actually a good experience.  I can’t wait to see what the place looks like when it’s done!

So lately I have been mentally preparing myself for my first comic con which is just about a year away.  I know it’s WAY early for that kind of thing, but I figure you only have one chance for a first impression and I want mine to be a good one.  Anyway here’s a work in progress shot of one of the sketches I’ll have up for sale at paradise con 2009.

Hope to see some of you there!
