Commentary:
Sunday , August 28 , 2005: It All Comes To An End

If you haven't been keeping up with these...yeah. It's ending. I counted up (and processed most of) the comics I'll have to post. I got three comics I drew earlier in the school year (Including a sequel of sorts to the Martian comic), a really shitty two-parter from last summer I'm just gonna post all at once, the majority of a Kool Trek sequel, and the first two pages of a more serious story. Then I will end this son of a bitch. It will most likely not live up at all to what I started with (which wasn't quite stellar to begin with), but I'm really okay with that.

When I am all done, I will leave everything on Keenspace Comic Genesis, so don't worry about that (Mom). They will stay here at LEAST until I get my own reliable web hosting, unless somebody deletes them on the server end.

Before I go on, I want to reiterate that this has nothing to do with the less-than-stellar reviews I received on the forums. I'm not being a mopey bastard. The, er, "comic" above is quite accurate (speaking of, I've never seen anybody try to do an ascii comic really).

A few news items I guess:

1) My old high school... they found that the roof of the gym is structurally unsound and are going to close the school for the year. Crazy, huh? I'm typing this about a week before this gets posted, so by now I know more. If you're reading this, I didn't bother to update the situation, and for that I apologize. The three plans at this point are to a)Move the H.S. to a really tiny elementary school 15 miles North (Trapper Creek Elementary) and bus those kids 30 miles away to Talkeetna Elementary; 2) Bus the high school kids 50 miles South to Houston High School (very unlikely); or c) Keep the school open while keeping that part of the building closed off(some people would worry about their kids apparently, however).

2) Extreme Hammocking Magazine had its final hammocking party on August 25th, 2005 (today from when I wrote this). The original four members of the magazine staff pulled a last few hammocking tricks and then went to Wasilla to blow some of their hard-earned cash ($60 each baby!). I bought Doritos, a raspberry Arizona iced tea, yellow silly string, a game of bowling, $0.25 on vending machine candy and a 10ft. ethernet cable, with $40 left. Boone bribed a pair of bowling shoes off the bowling alley, bought some CD's, some cheesecake from Carrs and maybe another pair of shoes. Jake bought a bunch of caffeinated things, as well as cheese dip and chips and WoW. Dylan bought...condoms (with a funny "blurb" on the back) and a jacket I think. Everybody that wasn't me also bought silly string and went bowling.

I think that's all going on here. Sorry for closing up the comic so soon. It sure is a good thing I hadn't built up a huge following. :D
