Public Flogging for 4/17/2025
The world just keeps winding me up like a clock until my springs all snap
Status Updates:
Welcome to Thursday. For security reasons we recommend you change your safe word every 90 days.
I’m not sure what to tell you. It’s tough writing these news letters sometimes. The world has gone a little crazy. We’re all stuck in the backseat of a Ford pinto and the people driving are looking for a wall to crash into. Just to keep us on edge, every couple minutes they turn around and yell “SHUT UP! MY DRIVING IS THE BEST”. You can try to hang on but they cut the seatbelts out back in the 80’s.
So I keep drawing. Somedays I feel like I could draw all day. Others I’m in a WTF loop. I set a lot of timers lately to keep me on track.
Let’s get to the regular comics first this week and then the sketches and other stuff at the end.
Pay Attention
Everything is a subscription and they keep raising the monthly fee. I can’t pay for another streaming service. I am missing shows I love and there are some coming out that I want but I just won’t sign up for another one. I need this money to pay for my comic habit.
One More Week
I just need a few more days.. probably a week. A short stay on Gilligan’s island is looking better to me every day in fact.
Friday’s Comic Early - Hold Steady
I know that it's tough to build each other up when half the crowd wants to push you into the mud. You have to do it though. Giving up is not an option.
Bonus Note Book Comic
How you view yourself is important. Are you a temple? A Castle? A Battlement? A haunted dive bar?

What I'm Reading/Doing:
I bought a Digimon card deck this week. My elder kid is going to teach me to play. Wish me luck. I’ve never been good at trading card games.
I’m still reading Old Mans War. I like it so far. No spoilers but that John Scalzi guy writes a good story.
I’m also planning my next book shelf. I’m also working on a gaming table that I repaired and then barely touched through the winter.
