Angels and Demons: New Sneak Peek

Here

I look forward to this show immensely, and put no stock in the idea that it's anti-Catholic. Even if its primary purpose is entertainment, the story seems to be one of enduring faith in the face of crisis, doubt and adversity.

Current events in Comics

In Doc Rat, Jenner is taking on the aftermath of the devastating Australian bush fires.

Previous references are here and here.

More to come, sez he.

The new "New Accelerator"

Doc Nickel is having fun over at The Whiteboard with a resurrection of HG Wells' meme from "The New Accelerator". Doc's secret formula is caffeine... start here

(His server is having some problems, the strips between 4-20 and 4-29 are missing, but you can get the idea. Go back later to get the others.)

Nature's Perfect Knockoff

I wrote here about Nature's Perfect food, which contains all the essential food groups. But what do you do when cookie season is ended, but you still need your fix?

Just the other day I stumbled by accident (or perhaps the purest good fortune) across a reasonable facsimile:

Coat of Arms - Order of the Couch

Much back-and-forth over at The Confusion Couch about a coat of arms, a motto, something that will represent our camaraderie and flights of fancy.

Bmonk has given us a crest to work with; his description: "Black shield with a white couch, and a jagged green border. Above the couch a gold star. Green = Pibgorn’s color for her world. Jagged border (“dancetty”) for the dance of the fairies, but also to indicate confusion. Black for the darkness of the confused surrounding the couch, and also for the faithfulness of the couch crew despite being in the dark. The gold star for the “favorites”, but also for the enlightenment that eventually comes to us."

I took the liberty of gussying it up a bit, with a cauldron for a helm, signifying all the good recipes we share, and Pib and Dru rampant, because I like to look at them. So there. No other reason. Motto: Omnes me confundit - "Everything confuses me".

Here's a place to gather together any and all suggestions. No sign-in is required to post a comment. No idea will be considered foolish, or too loony. Comments will be screened, however, and may take until the next morning to become visible if they are posted late in the evening.

Once we have something that everyone is either pleased with or can live with, I'm going to see what can be done about formalizing it.

Ready? Go!
