I’m on “away-cation”

Posted 3 days, 18 hours ago at 5:44 pm. 0 comments

I’ve been in Pennsylvania since last Saturday, driving out of Hartford a few hours before all of the shooting started going down in the North End. I coincidentally checked out Courant.com right around the time that the reports of violence started, then went to WFSB to see if they had more information.

The WFSB site had the most unfortunate ads accompanying the initial news report: CT “Staycation” and Hartford Hospital. I’m not sure when I’m coming back.

Not my best effort, but it’s a Wednesday.

I’ve been trying to make stencils all week and will start to post some of my best efforts soon. Stencils are very hard for me, my little brain gets confused.

Elizabeth Taylor fine, surrounded by jewels

This news is a few days old, but I just love it.

Elizabeth Taylor was hospitalized for an undisclosed reason but was expected to return home soon, representatives for the Oscar-winning actress said Thursday.

A statement released by Dick Guttman, her Los Angeles-based publicist, did not say where Taylor was staying, nor did it specify what was ailing the 76-year-old actress.

“Ms. Taylor is fine,” the statement read. “Her hospital visit was precautionary. She will be returning home shortly. At present, she is surrounded by family, friends and fabulous jewels.”

My publicist has strict instructions to answer any concerns about my health in exactly the same way.

Found via Pop Candy, Marvel kids has posted an application to create your own superhero.

I tried to recreate the Scary Bunnies mythical savior, Captain Hartford, naturally:

Here’s another original episode of the series by Fatness for your afternoon viewing pleasure. I promise to start posting new strips more frequently, since Hartford seems to holding out for a hero now more than ever.

I saw this posted to the “barter” section of Hartford’s Craigslist yesterday afternoon, but the guy’s wife must have seen it too because it was taken down later last night.

Just in time for Vegas Boulevard tomorrow night.

How To Play:

Print this out and take it to the next show you go to. When you get a bingo, scream “BINGO!” at the top of your lungs, then break a bunch of beer bottles on the floor and get thrown out.
