A simple update to display the logo for coffee czar, a Pulp Heroes related design project. I don’t know how much actual use this guy will see in or out of comic, but I do know that it’s only 2 colors (3 if you count white) and doesn’t look half bad. Although I am considering making the hand look more like a spiked gauntlet. Coffee Czar, ruling over caffeinated beverages with an iron fist.

I’ve also noticed that my lightbox plugin is no longer working. After downloading the newest version, and making edits to the script as noted in the WordPress codex, it’s still not working. I love that I’m away from my blog for so long each time that I need to spend an extra hour trying to troubleshoot the things that have broken while I’ve been away. I’m not sure if that’s incentive to blog more, or to just not bother.

Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new:

New Pulp Heroes. Check it out. For whatever reason I’m on a strangely grotesque humor streak, but a comic made is one more comic under my belt and one step closer to the future!

I’m still working on trying to get an RSS compatible gallery up and running. I struggled for a few hours this weekend trying to get gallery2 to work but I think there was some incompatibility between my Linux server and the version of the MySQL database that godaddy was forcing me to use. I then spent many many more hours trying to delete 20 megs of nested folders from said server, which was not made easy through the use of LeechFTP or the godaddy Java FTP Tool. I started deleting yesterday and just got finished this morning. If anyone has a suggestion for a better FTP client, I’m willing to hear your case.

There’s a new sketch in my sketch o the week. I know I haven’t been very true to the name of that album but better late than never, no?

Also, I’m hunting for strange alternative Christmas songs to make some kind of enjoyable holiday cd.

I have the following songs thus far:

Broken Social Scene – Handjobs for the Holidays

Stiff Little Fingers – Punk Rock Xmas

Kevin Bloody Wilson – Hey Santa Claus (You Cunt!)

Pogues – Christmas in the Drunk Tank

Gil Mantera’s Party Dream – Brave New Christmas

The Kinks – Father Christmas

Morphine – Sexy Christmas Baby Mine

I know there’s a Billy Idol Xmas song out there somewhere, and I’m also aware that there have been whole albums released by popular alternative bands throughout the years (No Doubt’s Oi to the World comes to mind, and still makes me shudder) but if anyone has any favorite ‘hip’ holiday songs that they’d like to share it’d sure help to fill this Grinch with a little holiday cheer.

Let the comments fly!
