It seems they are used to lots of carange and explosions, so can’t appreciate any other type of game.

You’ve heard about ‘em, and I’ve got ‘em too.

whatever you do over the festive season, whatever you celebrate, may it be safe and happy.

There’s a common suggestion in the blogosphere that you should blog your passion. I don’t fully subscribe to that theory for a number of reasons

Another entry for the Chewing Pencils competition. It’s probably better. The previous one’s a bit too subtle I think.

Chewing Pencils is running a little competition to draw a Christmas themed cartoon that features the word “blog”. It does close on Now 5th though if you’re keen.

After scratching my head for a week and procrastinating because I had assignments to do (woohoo! two weeks to go!), I finally scribbled something down. I drew it using Rita with a Wacom graphics tablet and finished it (text and frames) using Plasq’s Comic Life.
