Comics (online and otherwise)

[alanajoli]

I use Google Chrome here at home, and about 50% of my bookmarks bar is Web comics that I read (followed by blogs, followed by a few links for my freelance work). So it's amazing that I forget about MySpace Dark Horse Presents -- which is currently featuring not only a Buffy-verse comic by the fabulous Jackie Kessler, but is also featuring part 2 of a new series by Mark Crilley, who you might remember I raved about back when I reviewed Miki Falls for School Library Journal. The story, Brody's Ghost, which appeared in the last issue of MySpace Dark Horse Presents with part one is Crilley's new project, and is scheduled to be a six-volume Dark Horse series. Sign me up!

I feel like I've been getting by mostly on links lately -- in part that's because I've been so busy with the whole work/other work/pregnancy classes & appointments schedule that I don't have much brain for blogging. As it is, I think we are officially done with our pre-baby purchases as of today -- everything we don't already have can wait until later (except maybe some minor, medicine-chest type things we have on a list in a folder somewhere that's surely in the house, but is not where I looked for it before our shopping trip). Bug is growing so big that I have no idea where she's got left to expand -- the doctor at my appointment last week guestimated she's already at seven pounds five ounces, and she's still supposedly got three and a half weeks left before she's due.

I know I posted about my grandmother's rainbows here. I don't remember if I posted that I did get two prisms from Twostripe for Christmas, and they've been giving me rainbows nearly every morning. Lately, I've been making sure that Bug gets in on the rainbow action:



And that's life around here lately. There have been a few great mythic D&D games (featuring one in which I made a character Originally Participate, Barfieldians -- so. much. fun! in the evil DM sort of way), and I'll try to write a little bit more about those in the future.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for mentioning "Brody's Ghost", Alana, and for your earlier support of "Miki Falls." I really appreciate you spreading the word. A third installment should be up soon at Myspace Dark Horse Presents-- hope you'll enjoy it.

Thanks again, Alana, and best wishes on your pregnancy!

Mark

Love the rainbow on your belly! I bet it delights Bug (you know that babies can sense light in utero? pretty cool, eh?)

Yes, growing babies need their rainbow action! ;)

I'm winding up for Fluffy spawning herself in August. Sadly, that means I'm doing much of the same thing as you, but I'm using Google's Reader instead of links. That way, I get a little bold text when they update instead of me wandering by.

But, it sounds like things are happily going forward and it sound exciting.
