Merry Upstarts

Sleeping on the Metro is definitely a fine art. Should you happen to miss your stop, the way back can be treacherous and long. Mostly long. And irritating. I've found that if you plan to snooze, your chances of waking up when it's time for your stop are greater than if you fall asleep by accident.

Site Headaches


So the site has been going through some hickups. Not only were the transcripts a victim of the wordpress upgrade, the RSS feed appears to be borked as well. I've implemented a fix, but I don't know if it really changed anything. Hopefully when I wake up and the RSS resyncs, there will be comics in the feed for you. If not, I shall kick things around a little more and see if I can come up with a solution.

Seems like the website is telling me that now is a good time to redesign the bloody thing.

Apparently, Kane dreams in classic 8-bit Atari games.

PANEL 1

Kane walks in hanging his head.

BODIE



Then maybe-- Hey! Look at what the metro dragged in.

KANE



Man, I'm really sorry guys.

PANEL 2

Kane sleeps with his head leaning on the window of a Metro car.

KANE (CAPTION)



I was working late last night. Lost track of time. woke up late. Slept on the metro. Missed my stop. Swung over a croc pit on a jungle vine.

PANEL 3

Ally wipes a smudge off of Kane's forehead.

ALLY



Here, you got a smudge.

KANE (TO HIMSELF)



Most of those happened. I think.

PANEL 4

Kane sits down and frowns.

ALLY



Alright, we've got to come up with a name for our merry band of upstarts.

KANE



Let's never use "upstart" again.

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
