700


Where *did* you get that hat!

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #700 will be posted and sold on ebay at a later date.
This photo has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that it came up when I searched "700" in the flickr cc pool.
Sponge hat!

One of the recent fan club joiner persons wanted to see an Easter Island head in their comic. Can you spot it?

Flickr's being a bit loopy at the moment

I just posted a dozen or so comics to flickr, but it's not letting me post them here at the moment.
They'll be up later, hopefully. If you can't wait, go here: http://flickr.com/photos/apelad
Thank you.

I want to believe that's a green screen behind him and that he's on the set of some fancy sci-fi movie.

Thank you ZicklePop, for joining the legion of official HOBOTOPIA spokesmodels.

I don't trust that camel.

Seven Things


Seven
Originally uploaded by Kevin.

As you may have seen in the comments, I have been tagged with the seven things thing. I don't usually do this, but here are seven things you don't know about me. Or maybe you do. Some of these I may have mentioned before.

1. I once took a lie detector test and successfully lied. It was nothing nefarious, but part of a university sponsored study where participants got $40 for taking the test.
2. I once got lost in the mountains of New Mexico with a couple of other Boy Scouts.
3. I went to the same high school as Jackson Pollock (technically speaking. He didn't live in Riverside (the town I grew up in) long, but while he was there the high school he attended eventually evolved into the one I went to, even though the campus had moved by then. But still.)
4. I don't have/want cable or satellite tv. Just rabbit ears.
5. My actual grandfather was an actual hobo for a Summer long ago. I think I've mentioned that here before, but it bears repeating.
6. My wife and I lived in Burbank for a little over a year right after we got married. We loved it there. She worked as a temp at a major movie studio and wandered around like she owned the place, often sneaking on to movie sets and meeting random celebrities. I worked as a temp for a medical management company in Canoga Park and loathe nearly everything about the health insurance industry as a result. Also, given the opportunity, I would happily return to California.
7. I have a friend from high school who still calls me on a regular basis from work and has for the past 10 years or so.

I have tagged seven other people with this thing, but will not mention who they are here even though I'm probably supposed to.

Should I start noting when comics are based on someone's request? Perhaps I should. The order for this one came through with the note: "Pip in a sink? Want."

Seasick Steve - Hobo Low

Thank you, Jim, for bringing Seasick Steve to my attention. You can find more of his songs on youtube.

Also, to answer a question from the comments, yes, there will be days with more than one comic. Today just might be one of those days. There will be at least one for sure.

The special free fan club membership offer has come to an end. Thank you to everyone who ordered. I'll be sending an email tonight to follow up on a couple things.
Meanwhile, I still have my parents to entertain, perhaps with a trip to Weeki Wachee. This photo should convince my dad the 80 mile drive is worth it.

Offer extended for a bit thanks to an anonymous squeeky wheel. Who am I to say no to this sort of gumption?
(btw, it wasn't over when I received this email, but I love you anyway whoever you may be.)
Also, egrumble.com for all your anonymous email needs.
