Happy Saturday

Scribe Avatar

Wow, it’s been a crazy week. I lifted my head up to resume blogging; I’ve got a requested column I’ve been thinking about that’ll address topics similar to what I’ve written for the SFWA. Annnnnnd I didn’t realize that folks were charged up until I read Chuck Wendig’s post on the subject. (I agree with what he said, by the way.) Sadly, a consequence of keeping one’s head down is not realizing how emotional everybody is. Talk about bad timing!

[Insert Mercury in Retrograde joke here.]

Annnnnnd… We’re moving on. Last night I did put in an order from Fusion Beads for those skulls I was telling you about. You can see them on their home page. As part of that, I also picked up the components for Beadwork‘s Feb/March issue cover photo. It’s a Dewdrop necklace designed by Leslie Frumin; I’m aiming to stitch this up with garnet and onyx black beads. Hee.

Here’s a picture of it:

Hope to finally get some pictures taken this weekend in advance of National Craft Month. In the meantime, the writing, writing, writing continues with some seasonal frustration. REALLY hoping this cold weather will let up. Supposedly next week it’ll be in the 40s! I did start taking a B vitamin complex which has helped quite a bit, but more to the point — to do lists. I just can’t live without them anymore.

Better get back to the list. I’ve got Firefly game material, vampires, and alchemists to write. Hunters and Cthulhu to edit. Having a blast!

It’s Caturday.

Just popping in to share a photo of our oldest cat, Zakar, with you. (We’ve recently nicknamed him “Lord Lardbottom.”) As you can see, he’s enjoying the holidays as much as we are…





Caturday: Cat Invasion

Today’s Caturday post takes on a somber tone. I fear that as much as I am a friend to cats, dogs and small woodland creatures everywhere, I will not be safe from…

CATS IN TANKS.

And yes, this is a little violent. Along the lines of Starship Troopers. You’ve been warned.

Here’s the latest video! It’s about a rabbit and well, a cat.

It’s Caturday! Here’s Some Webcomics about Cats

It’s Caturday! Behold the mathematical proof that my cats are eating away at my sanity!

XKCD gets it right here. I devolve into a series of giggling squees mixed with some very interesting names for my fuzzballs.

As an animal lover and guardian of two, very naughty-yet-adorable cats, I really enjoy the occasional webcomic to brighten my day and laugh in the cat-ness that is… Well… cats. I hope you enjoy this list and check out some of them.

  • Lackadaisy – The artistic style of this comic is fantastic. I really like the sepia tones and the tight focus on the Prohibition era.
  • Clan of the Cats – A shapeshifting witch is at the heart of this comic, so if you like fantasy you might want to check it out.
  • Meow – In terms of artistic style, I really like the use of color and clean lines in this one. This is a more traditional comic in terms of content geared for cat owners.
  • Kat-Nap – If you need a silly, and you like satire, then this is a good one to try
  • Two Lumps: The Adventures of Eben and Snooch – I’ve been a long-time reader of this webcomic because I have two lumps of my own.
  • Laugh-Out-Loud Cats – Love the style of the artwork in this comic about cats being hobos. The characters are drawn in a throwback style to the comics of old, but the background in the strips are sometimes mixed with other styles and textures.
  • Doctor Cat – The terrible, horrible, non-existent attention span of a cat against the backdrop of a hospital? Hard to resist. Good use of color and bold lines.
  • Cat versus Human – A webcomic that’s more about the cat-loving owner than anthropomorphisizing her cat. (Yeah, that’s spelled wrong. I know. I know.)
  • Cat and Girl – Last but certainly not least, I had to mention this webcomic for its popularity and its well-known artist, Dorothy Gambrell.

Happy Caturday!
