Unglued news 10.11.05

I just got back from the hometown in upstate NY. We have some land that we'd like to build a small cabin on there, so we had to talk to the contractor about what we want. We could potentially own two houses. Can you say "Over our heads"? I knew that you could. The other thing about going home is the overall general weirdness. It's still the place I grew up, just with weird add-ons. Kinda like in Back to the Future 2, where it's still Hilldale (I think that's the name of the town) only there are all these retro-fits. So, I guess it's not true what they say: "You can't go back home"...You can, it's just a weird Michael J. Fox movie.

Speaking of skaky situations...yes, I know I'm going to Hell...as usual, the finaces of Corey Pandolph Conglomocorp, a subsidiary of my generous wife, are once again on shaky ground. Mad hasn't really been to keen on my latest submissions and Barkeater Lake is a 40 hour a week job that pays right around $25 a week. We'll just have to do some creative phone call dodging this week, coupled with a few items on eBay. No biggy...it's how I roll.

I'm pretty proud that I was able to raise $327 for Hurricane relief by selling some originals on eBay. I think I'll post another this week for the earthquake victims. It's fun to help out. It feels good to do something, even without having money. Speaking crappy art for sale, I'm going to start putting original Barkeater strips for sale soon. I think I'll put them on the new www.cpantoon.com site. Folks can pay through paypal. I'm toying with the idea of selling the dailies for profit, but the Sundays for charity. maybe a different charity every month. There will also be a Barkeater Sunday Calendar on the cafe press site soon...and the first BL book should be out in time for Christmas.

That's all for today...

You're all great people. Stay just the way you are. Class of '89 rocks!

Corey
