Ow!

Yes, I have returned! If you visited the site yesterday, you'd know that on Thursday night, I was whisked away to the hospital to have my appendix removed (well, after waiting seven hours in the emergency room.) I was released back into the wild this afternoon, and I'm still pretty gross-feeling, but I did manage to prep and upload the comic that should have run yesterday.

Thanks to Ashton and Claire, who did a fine job of keeping everyone up to speed on what was going on. I've archived everything they put on the front page here for posterity. I'd leave it in the regular archives but it messes with my comic numbering!

Thanks to everyone who sent in "Get well soon" emails (and there were a LOT of you!) Also thanks to everyone who has continued to vote for Sam and Fuzzy at Top Web Comics, where we have finally cracked into the top ten! It's nice to know that you guys still voted even though I wasn't able to post a comic on time. You're the best!

I'm going to go get some sleep now. Back to business as usual on Monday.

Youth is wasted on the young

You might have though that Sam and Fuzzy was above the kind of filthy humour found in today's strip. Well, if you did, then boy do you look silly now!

We're doing quite well on the Top Web Comics list -- at the time of this newspost, Sam and Fuzzy is less than 40 votes away from cracking the top ten. Thank you to everyone who takes the few seconds to vote each day, and by all means, please keep it up!

Well, it may be my birthday today, but it's also my first day of my fourth year of classes at the good old University of Victoria. I'll be pretty durn busy, but no worries -- there won't be any lack of Sam and Fuzzy madness as a result. Just a lack of sleep had by me. Gurgle!

Hey look, the hippos are fighting again.

A shadow on the sun

Well, since it is the start of a new month, I'm going to once again ask you all to please vote daily for Sam and Fuzzy at Top Web Comics. I really try not to harp about voting too much, but the fact is that ranking high on TWC helps new readers find the comic, and Sam and Fuzzy would easily place in the top ten if even half of it's readers took the few seconds it takes to vote each day. If you're of the sort that needs extra motivation, my birthday is this Wednesday!

Remember my little rant about Disney last week? Well, if you want to remember the kind of quality work of which Disney is actually capable when they try, check out the Who Framed Roger Rabbit Vista Series DVD. Not only does this sucker have the brilliant original movie, but also it has the three short Maroon Cartoons that Disney paired with various live action flicks in the early 90s. Those shorts are quite possibly the only slapstick cartoons ever made that live up to the golden era of Looney Toons. It's fantastic stuff.
