I knew I shouldn’t have limited myself on topic in the last post, saying I’d write something specific in the next entry. Shame on me, but I lied; I don’t feel like writing another mini-essay on the sympathetic versus parasympathetic nervous systems and its theoretical effects on digestion like I was planning to. So tough nookies. Instead you’re going to get an update on Lovebug stuff and a few other goodies.     These Lovebug things are positively addictive. I’ve been doodling like mad thanks in part to vicious insomnia. Not only that, but I’ve finally finished the Lovebug CafePress store. Let me tell you, I think it kicks butt. Go check it out and buy some stuff. I guarantee you don’t have anything like it in your wardrobe, unless your closet resembles a poetry lounge for demented critters.

The February Gallery now has 11 doodles in it, many of which were created thanks to captions sent in by my friends and family. The newest cartoons include, “Don’t hide your love. I need an easy target today,” “I like you, but you might want to have that removed,” and my personal favorite, “I might have dated you… if your car didn’t suck so bad.”     What is it about the combination of cute images and rude sentiments that I find so funny? I can’t resist it; as I’m sketching these things I must look absolutely insane, hunched over my sketch pad, giggling like mad. Why? Now that’s a mystery for the ages. In the meantime, though, I’m dying for a Heartbreaker t-shirt.

    Apart from whittling away the hours doodling cartoons, I just finished uploading an old interview I did with the Steve & DC syndicated radio show during the days of PotterWar. I had the interview on cassette tape but only just now got around to ripping it to Mp3. It’s so strange listening to myself as a 16-year-old, talking about copyright law, using my “cuteness” as a calculated weapon. Better be careful when cuteness rears its not-so-ugly head; the situation can get, well, ugly.

    Feel like taking a listen? I’ve been collecting all these old interviews to put them up on the Prophet Incorporated website, but I suppose you can take a sneak peek (file size: 3.32MB). The funniest thing about this interview, for me anyway, is that my southern accent decided to reappear in the midst of discussing fan intimidation. Weird, eh? Hopefully if I can figure out how best to compress video I’ll have a video clip from when I was 18 for you all to look at. Or should that be, “ya’ll”?

    I still feel bad about not sticking to my promise to discuss the biological side effects of “modern” restaurant operations… ah, who cares. Maybe later. 🙂 Until then, all hail the power of cute!
