New Year

I don't use this as much as I should, I'll admit using wordpress for Canned Ham kind of makes this place redundant. However, I try and keep the posts on the comic page relevant to the message in the comic, the intention of using this space is to talk about things that are unrelated. I really want to make a concerted effort to use my blogger account more. In fact it will be one of my New Year resolutions.

Christmas was good, you can see the list of booty on the comic page. Christmas gave us 2 extra presents one we wanted and one we didn't want. The one we didn't want was given to my wife; she caught some bug that's been going around and was (and still kind of is) sick as a dog. She missed christmas and I was sent alone to my parents to eat a marvelous meal and get some kick ass presents (my parents are too good to us). The Second gift was our house guest Elsa, she's a mini pinscher and a bundle of energy. She gets along well with Tyler our dog and we're having a blast. We're watching her while her mom and dad are in Seattle visiting her uncle.

Well thats all for now folks It's lunch time

Peace

One Year

I've been doing the strip for one year now, Wow... I don't think I've done any one set of characters for that long. Along the way there have been a few and for some reason I let them go, but I seem to have a pit-bull's grip on this cast and I don't seem to want to "Drop It". Am I rich? definitely not. Am I famous? Not that I am aware of, but you know what? I'm OK with that. I have thought of ending it, when the gags haven't worked or when I can't write a joke to save my life... But I work through it, I really care about these characters and I hope it shows. I have almost 100 pieces of original art even more than that if you count the 30 or so I did on the "Original Run" of Canned Ham (you know, back in the day when Ogden was hairy and orange). I do hope to gain some kind of notoriety. I mean it would be a dream come true to be as successful as Scott Kurtz ,Mike Krahulik & Jerry Holkins, Paul Southworth or Tim Buckley. But hey... I think I am doing OK for myself.

This year was AWESOME. I got inducted into Hyena Comics, a great group of talented people who really seem to know a lot about comics. I got married and who knows what else is on the horizon. I do know that I am looking forward to 2007. This week I'll be adding all sorts of content to the site, I am making a Goat Brigade page ( we need to get some new members ), I am working on a Cafe Press store front, and I have some wall papers and Icons i'd like to get up there. Plus I've got the honey moon pics uploaded to the server, I just have to code the page. Well I'm tired. I am going to bed.

Happy Birthday to Ogden, Crab, TG, Mr. Taylor and the rest of the Canned Ham Cast. Thanks for everything everyone.

Good Night
