I’d really appreciate your help in making ebook edition of my first 3,000 comics and keeping it DRM-free and payment optional. Check out my Kickstarter page even if you don’t want to contribute. I packed it full of jokes and thoughts on DRM and copyright.

When I was a scurrilous teen, I was on vacation with my family in Provincetown, MA. I have always enjoyed taking strange gambles on things, so I opted to spend some of what little money I had on a CD because it had a mental-looking chubby man on the front. It was Frank Black’s “Teenager of the Year” and it wound up being one of my favorite albums of all time. Weird design works on me every time.
I did not make any kind of connection with the Pixies until almost ten years later when Sam Brown and I drove cross-country to San Diego Comicon and we listened almost exclusively to the Pixies. I burned those albums into my head as I experienced the desert for the first time. It was a pretty good trip, for the world before iPhones.
A small but statistically significant percentage of pugs are created from “null matter,” which behaves more or less like regular matter, but has the property of being gravity-blind, in that gravity just doesn’t seem to notice it’s there. This has implications for the Grand Unified Theory that nobody wants to look at head-on just yet.
