A kernel of truth

My last two comics each contain a kernel of truth. My cat decided he needed to mew nonstop for an hour or so each night for about a week. He has since stopped.

We were considering getting one of our nephews a toy Indiana Jones bullwhip. Two Christmases ago we got him a Batman mask, but instead of gloves, it came with a chest-plate covered with fake muscles. If you pressed the Batman logo in the middle, it played the most hilarious sound ever made by a toy. A heroic voice would say "Look out, evil doers! I'm Batman!" Then there were sounds that were meant to simulate powerful blows landing Batman exerting himself, but sounded more like Batman being pummeled. Awesome.

Speaking of gifts, you know what makes a great one? MY BOOK!

I discovered your comic strip a few months ago & have been a fan of it ever since.
I was surprised to find your blog here, when I put in "basic instructions" in the interests field on LJ today.

Anyway, just wanted to tell you that your strip is really funny. All the best with your book sales.
