Typing up labels for 400 envelopes, one... at... a... time. Can't automate it, they're all different. Z-z-z. Trying to stay awake long enough to get a good chunk of them done by tomorrow.

Decided to create my own lolz photo to shake the cobwebs out, that's Sam of blessed memory, go ndéanai Día trocaire air, he's sitting on the couch looking just like I've interrupted his enjoyment of Garfield.

I grew up with all the "intellectual" comics such as Asterix and Tintin (yeah yeah English versions only I know), Peanuts and Family Circle. And not a small slice of Hagar and later Footrot Flats.

I was never a fan of the pulp US ones such as Marvel and DC. But in later years when the internet turned up, it opened a whole new world of comics!

Shame very few of the creators get to make a living from it.

I didn't come across Calvin and Hobbes until very recent years, as sadly it was never syndicated or released in Australia.

Now that is a tragedy of epic proportions. C&H should have been published in every nation...

We as Americans miss out, for the most part, on Asterix and Tintin. And so many of the others, like Spirou, Gaston Lagaffe, Nasreddin Hoca, and on and on. There's something to be said for broad cultural awareness. And that's not knowing about broads from other countries, you bunch o' deviants! ;)
