Another Favorite Thing of 2007: Twitter

I was pretty reluctant to adopt twitter, but 1,300 tweets later I'm still using it. Banality ahoy!

Walking Pip

Here's a little walking Pip I made. I've never animated anything of any real complexity before, and relied heavily on Preston Blair's indespensable books for this.
Feel free to use it for a link back to the blog or whatever.

Once again, not really from 2007, but the Maximum Fun podcast of Coyle and Sharpe on the streets of San Francisco in the 60's is one of my favorite things.
You can also see them on youtube.

Favorite stuff from 2007: Red Beard

Okay, so this movie isn't from 2007, but this is the year I finally saw it. This trailer doesn't do it justice, and I highly recommend it. It might even make you cry.
I'll probably post a couple more of my favorite things before this year is out.
A comic will be posted later this evening. I'm going to stick with one post a day once the new year rolls in for two reasons: my parents will be in town. I guess that's only one reason, but two people.
There is a backlog of comics, and I am sending comics as they are done, so there is no slow down in mailing them. My turnaround time is still about two weeks, so if you've ordered something over two weeks ago and it hasn't shown up, let me know.
Finally, even though I'm slowing down to one a day (and none on Sundays...usually), I'll probably do catch-up days where I post several at a time. We'll see.

I see no votive candles

Beth E. Dogg has set up a shrine to Kitteh and Pip. This is exactly the sort of thing I never expected but greatly appreciate.

There are plans in the works for a third newsletter and a secret online repository for the previous issues. You'll read about it here once I figure it out.

Aloysius is on youtube now, and in the spotlight. I'll let you know how he feels about this the next time I speak to him.

Behold the Wonders of Christmas in Kissimmee Florida

From the youtube description for this clip:

"I have over 45,000 lights synchronized to music using 216 channels of Light-O-Rama. The music is from "Linus and Lucy" by Vince Guaraldi. You can see more of my display at www.ChristmasWonders.com"

The show goes through several other songs and is open through the 6th of January.

Merry Christmas
