I turned 53 this week. No candy or gems, but I did enjoy a fabulous bean burrito and a shot glass'-worth of beer. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3000 X 4500 pixels. See one original source here .

I haven't picked up this series in awhile. I've missed working on it. June is really the correct month for completion, that being my birthday and all. But... oh, well. Shown smaller than the original completed size of 3705 X 2050 pixels.

Still running two years behind schedule. Lol. I turned 58 today. I began this series in 2018, but lost a couple of years along the way. Even I wasn't sure that I knew why it became a series in the first place, until I remembered an obscure superhero comic from the late 1980s. A villain crashes a hero's birthday party, offers his arch foe a box of candy, and proclaims that the universe will end when the last candy is gone.

Here I'm playing with "Command+Invert" and the "Paint Daubs" filter, mostly. I'm kind of stretching the definition of comics , but there is a balloon. :) See one original component here .

"Well there's waiters here to wait, And haters here that hate us all. Well, there's hookers here to hook, And lookers here that look so tall. But the light from the sun's like a blanket that surrounds us all. Come on and dance with me, Darlin,' Come on and dance with me 'til the dawn. Come on and dance with me, Darlin', You know we're not alone..." -- Daniel Timms (2003) Shown smaller than the original completed size of 2400 X 1800 pixels. See one original source here .

Suddenly it's the Parade Of Tall Rectangles all the time. But it's also my first visit to this series since 2019!! Also, I'm breaking in new bifocals at last. Which may or may not make a difference.
