#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/28 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Thanksgiving was very nice. (Aside from a small incident when I was demonstrating how to use the electric knife sharpener to the experiments. On the other hand, they now REALLY GET how important "knife safety" is) Ow.

My Groove is actually harshed. My goddam Calendar (Not the good one from Google that I use everyday, but the annoying "pick me" bullshit wanna-be that's hard-baked onto my computer I cannot get rid of Calendar®) Helpfully let me know that tomorrow is BLACK FRIDAY! Now I'm not gonna buy Anything.

It's time for my annual reminder that turkey does NOT contain more #tryptophan than other meats, and the molecule is not the cause of your food coma!
Nevertheless, I hope this #science pun is enough to drive you off your screens for some well-deserved relaxation.
Happy Thanksgiving!

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 11/26 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Nothing like having the experiments you unleashed upon an unsuspecting world returning for the holidays to make a person realize just how much the place needs cleaning. Yikes! Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/24 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Starting to see Christmas lights which (unlike premature trees) are particularly welcome even before Thanksgiving, as ours is a gloomy and dank landscape during the winter months…or maybe that's just OUR house.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/21 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) I don't like it, but I know I'm getting old because I saw someone with a Christmas tree strapped onto the roof of their car and I caught myself thinking, "It's not even Thanksgiving! Have you no decency, sir?"

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/19 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Had a burst of creativity last night, and got the next month's worth of pages laid out! My plan is to actually pull ahead a bit– and maintain that lead. Hey– I can dream. In unrelated news, I took up chainsaw juggling!

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 11/17 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Reading Goliath's Curse by Luke Kemp. It's a non-fiction book about the history & future of societal collapse. Its unexpected premise is that such collapses are not always a bad thing, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

#girlgenius #webcomics Girl Genius for 11/10 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Whipped up a batch of chili last night with hot peppers, tomatoes, & onions from the garden. Had to use store-bought pepperoni, as once again, the ones I planted failed to sprout. Mighty good with sweet cornbread.

#gardening Bah. It's time to pack the garden away for the season and I just had to rip out several rows of vines that were thick with green, underdeveloped tomatoes. Everything else came through like a champ, but the tomatoes just never turned red, dammit. The Italian in me is sad.🌱

#webcomics #girlgenius Girl Genius for 11/5 (www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php) Yes, yes, the holidays are coming. Boo! Enjoy the lights, the music, the eggnog and don't sweat the rest. We're old enough that the greatest gift someone could give us would be stealing half the junk we've accumulated.
