Uncle Jameson and Aunt Dira

This is the first image of the lil' baby Holst:


James' sister Sarah and her husband Joe are expecting. I've mentioned them before.

This will be the first grandbaby on his families side. My family has a boatload of them. I'm very excited, none of my neices or nephews are very lil anymore.

lil kitty

I might have to steal a kitty.


This is Isadora.

Or Eee-izz (said in a very highpitched voice), Izza-muffin, Chicken, Izza-dorable, Bah-bee, or even Fat-head (meant in the sweetest of ways). Half of those nicknames came with her, from her real and loving owners who miss their lil'kitty.

We absolutly love having her around. She is the kitten-iest of cats ever.

Jameson says she is a person pretending to be a cat, which would make sense as she is almost too perfectly kitty-cat. She purrs in any position, bumps our chins with her head (one of the best catnesses), follows me around, sleeps in our bed and, every now and then, cocks her head a bit to one side and asks, "Merow?"

I'm in kitty bliss.

It's been soooo long.

There's been cleaning, coughing, a successful staff party, hirings and firings, wars fought with managers from other staffs, busy shifts and dead ones, new emails sent out to Image, new ideas for comics, and on and on.

I'm sorry I've been away.

Next Saturday is "Loop in Motion", which you find out about here. I blogged about it last year. This year I haven't found time to get anything made for it. With less than a week to go I'm gonna try to throw something together.

And for no reason at all here's this:


I painted this a long time ago and found it when we cleaned. Just thought it would add some color to this silly post.

I promise to try to be better about blogging in the future.
