Recommend This t(^_^t)

May 23rd, 2010 | by EverGreen

¡Hola, compadres!

I’d like to direct your attention to the new “Recommended Reading” section to your left, where I list several webcomics that I personally enjoy or otherwise recommend to you, my most gracious readers. Needless to say, I can’t vouch for appropriateness of content in any outside website, but if you’re looking for some other interesting comics to read then I invite you to check out these folks’ work.

Speaking of: A brand new favorite of mine, Light Years Away, is beginning a week-long “Light Years A Day” event where the artists are releasing 7 comics in as many days. LYA is a violent, action packed story of an ex-con with no memory and mysterious, Jason Bourne-style abilities… In space. The story is already over 50 strips deep and with 7 more on the way all this week, I think you’ll be bookmarking this one.

To show my support, I’m linking their banner for the event. If you like gritty space drama, click it and check it out.

Sink-o day My-o

Glorious Cinco de Mayo to those of you keeping count.

Like many ethnic holidays imported from elsewhere, the Fifth of May tends to be celebrated more uproariously here in Los Estados Unidos than it does to our neighbors to the south. For the US, the holiday is about drinking yellow beer, eating chips and guacamole, listening to mariachi music, and drinking tequila – in other words, ‘just another excuse to party’. The 5th of May counts itself among several cultural observances which have more significance in the US as drinking days than in their home countries; chief among these being the illustrious and verdant St. Patrick’s Day.

Now I know that there is a wealth of rich cultural significance in these non-federal holidays. I’m aware of some of the history behind Cinco de Mayo (it commemorates the Mexican victory over the French invaders), but beyond a cursory knowledge my interests lie in more gastrointestinal pursuits – Hey, I LOVE burritos. Not that I wish any disrespect on the fine Mexican peoples and their courageous ancestors, but my hope is that by the mere act of celebrating we can do honor by the ones who earned it.

You don’t need to know the reason for the season, but you can still drink with us. Amen.

Site Updates – Spring Cleaning

April 18th, 2010 | by EverGreen

I’m going to be doing some site updates and maintenance in the next couple days, including updating things like WordPress and Comicpress. Since there is a bit of custom work here, some things might be a little bit broken until I can fix them.

Edit: Almost everything is back to where it was, though now it’s running a billionty% better on the back end. There will be some more futzing around with details and column margins to be sure, but the major stuff is complete for the time being.

Oh, and don’t mind the little mood-guy in the corner.
