A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

The saga of Roland and the Dark Tower is over, but that doesn't mean there's not more to be seen in Mid-World! 2012's A WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE has some stuff to say about werewolves, storms, matricidal forgiveness, little trains, and of course, Elf Language rangedtouch.com/2025/10/13/t...

If any of you freaks have conservation expertise and want a job managing the pest plant program in the beautiful Kāpiti Wellington District, I'm moving back to Australia at the end of the year and my role has just been advertised:

Between the zine I just finished, the animation screening I'm planning and work I've been doing on my website, I haven't been making enough time in my free time to draw. Gotta change that -- I have heaps of things I want to draw and they're not going to draw themselves.

Izzy, it's okay. As long as the orb is the right size, the seals like it.

In a future where the rich kids are being raised with a digital Cyrano beside them to sweet-talk their way into the best jobs, four friends train together for a battle to prove that other kinds of minds might still have the edge.

Isn't it just? My mate Liam, who put together that zine, is great at creating simple little critters like that.
