  1. Amusing spam above … Things are about to get weird with Casa De Chuck!

    1. Ugh, I try to get to the SPAM quicker but we have a new kitty and I have been distracted. It is gone now. 😀

  2. New kitty tops spam any day … and I enjoy getting to see it in it’s brief lifespan.

536 – Great State Of Tech Sass

Welcome to Team Paranoid, Oscar! Spoiler alert: they really are out to getcha!

Bedbugs to burninations…

What a twelve months or so it’s been. It was around this time last year that we were realizing the extent of a bedbug infestation in our home/studio and put the comic on pause for our longest ever hiatus while we turned everything upside down and inside out to get rid of it, just in time for Zombie Ranch‘s tenth anniversary of publication. In other words I guess we started our 2020 early, in terms of upheavals. We finally put our lives back together, restarted the comic and got in one convention, the Long Beach Comic Expo… and then Covid-19 hit. Conventions started postponing and/or canceling, culminating in San Diego Comic-Con itself pulling the plug. And 2020 wasn’t done yet, with our latest but not least anxiety being the encroaching Bobcat wildfire which is burning perilously close to us and filling our air with smoke. Ah, and we had a moderate earthquake this last Friday night, just to add to the sense of “Oh COME ON!” I remember when the pandemic was gathering steam in March I remarked that a webcomic at least would be one of the things least impacted, but of course I wasn’t reckoning with the mental and physical health of your humble proprietors. Thankfully y’all have been wonderfully patient as readers, and I suppose I can count my blessings we never got big enough with this project to quit our day jobs because all the convention cancellations have been infinitely worse for several of the folks we know who made a large part of their living doing the circuit. Just about everyone’s hurting in some way or other, it seems, and although we haven’t been shy about taking our rest when we need it, when we do get the comic out it’s good to hear from you folks that you’re engaged and enjoying and getting a breath of escapism from our efforts, even if only for a few fleeting moments. We can all certainly use it.
