You and I, Clyde

Challenges! I can already tell this is going to be a good year full of challenges. Sally has stepped forward for January and given me the weekly task of drawing a comic strip, which I will post here. She and her "consultant" (I only have one guess there) came up with this one and seem very pleased that I have no artistic abilities whatsoever. Since tomorrow is already the end of week 1, I think there's a good chance you can check back here in 24 hours for a lovingly drawn comic. Featuring stick figures. Maybe it will be like an advanced game of Pictionary and you can try to decipher individual objects for points.

There is still room if you want to claim a month of challenge-giving; shoot me an email if you're interested.

You know the Howie Day song "Collide"? It turns out if you replace the word "collide" with "Clyde" as you're listening to it, it switches from being a sappy, whiney song to an edgy, sweet song about gay lovers. It's very refreshing.
