Right wing distorts truth

Next on sick sad world!

Compare the picture on the left with the one on the right.

Of course, beyond that, let's take a moment to talk about bias based on appearance. Yeah, the couple on the left is pretty hideous but have you ever been to Alabama? There are heterosexual couples like this having kids every day and no one stops them. I've known many a mulleted couple who applied make-up with a trowel and one or two of them were even decent people aside from their appalling lack of fashion sense. ...

In fact, now that I think about it a little more... Isn't the far right potentially alienating their own largest demographic while at the same time going all metrosexual on them? ... Perhaps that saying about becoming what you hate has more truth to it than they realize. It would appear that they've already become fashion conscious. Oh dear!

A comical observation

Helping Stacey sort and thin her THIRTY-SIX BOXES of comic books has convinced me of two things.

1) I can draw/write well enough I could make a comic.
2) I should not quit my day job.

I like drawing and making art but I also really enjoy writing code. It's fun to fantasize about being a professional artist, but the reality is: There are thousands and thousands of very talented people out there who have made tons and tons of artwork but the vast majority of them are just squeaking by and I think that honestly, with the prevalence of reprints and anything and everything you could ever want always being available on the net, that it's only going to get harder on the margins. I'd rather do art because I enjoy it than have to try to live on it. And on that note: Back to work. :)
