“In my Prius”

So, I might have been getting a little bit of stick/grief/sledging as it seems by beloved Toyota Prius has a few problems. Like switching itself off when I was on the motorway, like a dodgy accelerator, iffy brakes, and … oh … a worldwide recall.

This cannot be allowed to stand. My car is totally gangsta, and here is a video to prove it …

When art imitates life and vice versa.

As many of you know, writing comics is something I do at night. Considering that lots of other people do things far more devious, shameful, immoral, perverse, and disreputable with their nights, I see no shame in this.

But it means I have to do something with my days. And what I do with my days is write software. I rarely blog about this, but just in case any of you are wondering what it is all about, this small flowchart from the wonderful xkcd essentially sums up how my life works during the waking hours, Monday to Friday.

YBNBY Hall of Fame: Unintentionally Funny Comic Panels

People tell me that all writers have moments of doubt, times when they wonder if their voice is ever really being heard or if they are just screaming out into a void that will never respond. The existential dread that contemplating this for too long can engender is almost beyond comprehension, a crippling, agonising state of almost blind panic as you question whether anything you do has any meaning.

And then, you see this …YBNBY Hall of Fame: Unintentionally Funny Comic Panels.

And you realise the being in comics is cool because, if nothing else, you can slip this subversive nonsense past people from time to time. I, for one, don’t believe any of these are as unintentional as the creators would have us believe ;-)

For me, they are all the funnier for that! Enjoy.
