Everybody who has known me for any period of time in the comic context knows I have a deep seeded love for the great Jim Toomey.  Small Wonder’s Rufus is starting to become quite the pain-in-the-a** on Survivor: Mandy’s Mayhem, and so Parry turns to the only person who can remedy this feathered problem…Sherman the Shark.

Let’s hope Sherman will treat Rufus with…well…let’s just remember what life was like before the lobotomy.

Well it’s been almost 8 months since I posted a comic.  Just where did the time go?  In short, I’ll tell ya…

I had to leave comics for awhile due to my teaching placements.  I was spending all my nights preparing lesson plans which made producing comics impossible…at least at the quality I wanted them.  I Finished Teacher’s College, 18th in my class.  Not bad for a class of 18, eh?  About half way through, I realized that I definitely have this deep desire to help people, to make a difference…and Teaching was close to the mark, but not it.  I always wanted to be a cop.  My mother has said many times I would make an excellent one, and my mother has never ever been wrong about anything.  Ever.  Ask her.  So as it stands now, I have completed all my preliminary tests, submitted my application to the Police Force, a recruiter has my file in hand, and now I am eagerly waiting to move forward.  I’m excited more driven than I have ever been.

In March of this year I found my Dad after 25 yrs of being estranged.  He didn’t say much, of course most cremated people don’t.  That’s right…he’s dust.  Missed him by 8 months.  I claimed his ashes, as well as his parents and brought them home where he belongs.  My sister and I are planning a trip to Graceland to spread the ashes.  My old man was the biggest Elvis Fan I have ever known, and his friend told me he always wanted to go to Graceland.  So he’s going, and I won’t have to waste money on a t-shirt for him.

So in short…Dad’s dead.  I am chasing a career closest to a Superhero I can find.  Oh…and I am creatively happy.  I don’t think this comic has ever looked so good or been this funny.  I’m no longer concerned with what readers think.  I know most love me, and the ones who do not, well…there is obviously something wrong with them and their parents.

The big question is always, “How many days a week are you updating?”  That’s the first thing Witmer asked me when we started chatting.  I don’t know.  We’ll start with one day a week.  Fridays.

Some other exciting news, and Jim is going to squirt-a-turd when he finds out I spilled it…is Jim and I have discussed bringing back The Panel Mammals.  It’s our baby, we never really meant to put her down, and the two of us can do great things together.  It’s that simple.  We are like thinkers and have a dream.  Panel Mammals 2042…Wait for it!

And my last bit of yap before you get to listen to the song is this…Some Day Hero is still very much alive.  More than ever the comic and story needs to be told.  Gimme some time and I promise you that the WOW that SDH first generated will be back.  We are going back to square one, so buckle up.

I’m back…and I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good, good night.

Sorry it took some time for this comic, but I think you’ll enjoy the plot twist.  Worth Gowell, a heck of a friend and stellar cartoonist has made a pretty shocking announcement on his website…so if you think my RUFUS is good, go see the real thing…while you still can.

And now…let us pray for Fenton…

Check out the POLL to your left.

Mandy will return Tuesday, but for now, go check out my other comic strip.  SOME DAY HERO.  I am taking this strip slow, learning as I go and so far, I am happy with what is developing.

See you over there and back here tomorrow for the next chapter in Survivor: Mandy’s Mayhem.

All persmissions have been recieved, and the ones I haven’t heard from…well…I’ll contact you again if you and yours become the Sole Survivor.  16 players…and only 3 are mine…maybe 4.  I don’t know yet, Watterson won’t pick up the blazin’ phone!

You know this could turn into a year thing, this story.  We’ll see how it goes…People seem to be enjoying it so far?

Also, if you don’t see a post from me EVERYDAY next week, don’t worry.  I’m off to New York Monday morning but I am trying to get 5 done for next week.  I’m trying.

And now, if you wanna see today’s real deal…click the links below.  Brian and Lucas have become good friends and supporters of me and my comics and I appreciate everything.  Yes, folks.  I’m not always a jerk.

I’ll say this now and probably again, if you have a problem with your characters making a cameo in this Survivor Series tell me now.  I’ll understand, I guess, but I figured they deserved a chance at the million as much as mine.

Now, have you spotted all the characters so far?  If not, the links below should give you a hint.
