Detective Munch and the Scooby Snacks

Jeff — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:21:09 +0000

I watched an episode of the latest iteration of “Scooby-Doo” the other night, and it really freaked me out. Seriously, it was genuinely kinda scary. The scenes where Velma was displaying romantic interest in Shaggy? I mean, that was just goosebump city, right there.

Sorry for the slight delay. We’re in the process of moving from one house to another. Last night, I disconnected the TV, DVR, cable modem and everything in preparation for moving them to the new house today. After doing so, I sat down to draw my comic.

It was then that I realized that it would be mightily difficult to update the website…

The longer I don’t touch the Apple IIgs in my basement, the more I’m afraid that the disks won’t work anymore, but as long as I don’t touch them, I can imagine that they’re as pure and pristine as they were on some random Tuesday in 1988…

It’s ’80s computer edition of Catch-22.

I Think This Line Is Mostly Filler

Jeff — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 01:42:19 +0000

Ah, yes. Mitch has had his first Geek-Rant™. I’ve run across quite a few non-geeks who, after getting into a show with a shortened season, have a similar reaction, rejecting the need for reruns or “filler” episodes, and instead demanding continued excellent storytelling across an entire (American) season of episodes.

We geeks rarely know how to respond, ’cause non-geeks rarely agree with us.
