In Loving Memory
The other the day I took a few moments to reflect on the memory of my blog. I wondered if it made it to blog heaven, and I was hoping it was happy wherever it was. Then someone told me, “Omigosh, Mike. Don’t you know? Your blog is *still alive*!”
I just laughed. ”I appreciate your childlike optimism, friend. But it has been 8 MONTHS since my blog has been updated. My blog is an angel now, and it is very happy.”
I was pretty sure my friend was crazy. Still, later that night I felt strangely compelled to visit my blog. I wanted to pay my respects, if nothing else. Imagine my shock/joy/horror to find my blog was indeed still alive! Unfortunately, it was barely managing to wheeze slow, difficult breaths through an accumulation of crusted spittle. Boy, was I embarrassed.
“This is why I don’t own pets,” I thought to myself. I tried to tell my blog how sorry I was, but it just responded by faintly gurgling some incoherent nonsense.
Anyway, I gave the blog a bubble bath, some soup, a new logo, and a sketch of a boy perched upon a mutant rabbit of some sort.
It isn’t much, but it is a start, I suppose.

So glad you’re back. Did you see the process post on Scott C’s blog from a few days ago? Good stuff.

I did see that post. I was so interested in the detailed breakdown of the process that I almost didn’t notice how awesome the finished painting was. I mean, it has zombies in brain bumper cars, fer cryin’ out loud. So awesome.

I’ve enjoyed your blog ever since I performed a routine googling of sasquatch and stumbled upon your exquisite drawings accompanied by an eloquent explanation of the distinction between sasquatch and big foot. Glad to see this blog has been resuscitated, as I do enjoy visiting from time to time.

You almost made it a year without posting. But digging the new look and work

I had given up hope. I stopped visiting your blog because time and time again I was left bitterly disappointed. Now that you have revived the only joy left in the world, I feel like I have something to look forward to and to live for again. Thank you.
