Added a tip jar to the SJ site; it will go up tomorrow. I don't know what, if any, response it will get. Still feel a little funny about it, but maybe it will help defray con costs, in which case it will be worth it.

Laurie, HantaMouse, and I got all the Dragon*Con arrangements taken care of on Friday night (although Laurie and Hanta need to tweak hotel stays). The AnthroCon plans for Hanta and I are all worked out except I have to arrange for a rental car. I'll try to do that this week.

Got approved on the company insurance on Friday, so starting tomorrow I'll probably be driving the van around, learning the "backup courier" aspect of the job. So I'll have less free time at work than I did this past week, but that's okay -- I had a lot.

My medical paperwork went in on Friday too, so tomorrow I'll be trying to find a doctor and make an appointment to get this silly foot looked at.

This coming week needs to be "Plan 9 Maintenance Week." I need to get files to Dave so the first two books can get back into print, and I need to bug him about getting my royalties.

Second priority, artwise, is finishing commissions, and getting ahead on strips if I can. I have a good start ... if I can draw two strips tomorrow, I'll be a week ahead already. So my goal is to get and stay at least one week ahead, get my current commissions done, and then try to get another week to two weeks ahead.

Some time during all of this, I need to do some communicating with [livejournal.com profile] kelloggs2066 about the project he's been working on. I think it's going to be way cool. :) And I need to do it within the next few days so he doesn't get time-crunched. So I'll put that on my agenda for tomorrow, and if necessary strips can slip until Tuesday.

In the words of [livejournal.com profile] spikedpunch, no rest for the furry! But it's bedtime now, so off I go.

G'nite and a great tomorrow, all of my LJ friends, and even all of you folks I don't know who are snooping on me. :) Hope you're enjoying the show!

See you tomorrow...

Step right up! Hurrrrey hurrrey --- this way to the Lion Show!

The tip jar is quite acceptable, in my opinion. It is unlikely to lose readership.

We have been authorized to report that we are not the CIA. We have not been authorized to report why our super-secret agency would be interested in this Internet cartoonist's web page, but we have been authorized to report the following:

1. On Monday, June 17th, you will be offered a piece of fried chicken. In response, cluck three times. Our operatives will be listening in. It will neither set into action any plans, nor will it give you more additional information; our operatives just need a laugh.

2. If a dying man gasps out his final word, "Rosebud", then do not -- I repeat, do not -- use his old sled as kindling wood. Trust us on this one.

3. Your wife needs a hug. Trust us on this one, too.

4. We have been authorized to forward the following secret message: SJITBWCITW! We don't understand it, either.

Transmission over.

As soon as I have extra cash (probably around October when all the down payment stuff for the house and land is out of the way and we're snugly moved in) I'm going to put something in that tip jar :) To me, your artwork is worth it. Sometimes my only smile of the day comes from strips you've drawn.

Oh, look! Yer first tip is two French sous. Well, no wait. Your first tip came from Spiked Punch on a business card. This is your second.

On the first day of tip collecting my fans gave to me,
a busines card with Enron advice!

What will you get three of tomorrow?

I would love to be the first to submit to your tip jar, but alas, I just checked the health of my bank account. I have $250 of loans coming up next week, and $150 in utilities sitting here now. *Gulp*

I think my best tip to you for the time being will have to be the fact that I helped encourage you to do it.

I wanna donate to Gneecheypookens!

This is what I get for reading my webcomics before my journal backlog...

But to echo what I said in the alt forum, Jonathan and I have already talked about how much I appreciate you, and now that you have given me a way to tip you...All he and I have to do is talk about the amount. :D

Happy to be of service.

Which reminds me, I once promised Frisk I'd have you give him a RL hug for me... Forgotten all about it. (Bad kitty, bad!)

Do you have any clue how awkward it would be to hug a guy I've known for 20 years? -TG

Well, I dropped a few coppers in the pot for The Gneech's "Escape to Rio" fund. I consider it well worth it.

A happy web comic artist is... well... a happy web comic artist. =^.^=

Peace;

How about if I state the hug as given and we all leave it at that? -Friskd
