many thanks to all well-wishers and advice-givers

That bit with the dog was amazing. It was the middle of a nice night in Jasper, very quiet, and as we were momentarily stopped everybody on the bus was either quietly stretching their legs outside or waiting to carry on. Out of nowhere this large, shaggy, friendly dog ambles onto the bus. It walked the entire aisle and back, pausing momentarily to sniff interesting things or people, then hopped off and sauntered away. Nobody said anything, but for a moment we all looked at each other and I could tell we were all thinking the same thing — “Did that actually just happen, or did I hallucinate it?” [May 16, 2012]

Interesting Times Friday Mailbag: "My Dream Since Childhood"

Many more lulz can be brought to you by, uh, you!
Send your questions to journalcomic at gmail dot com and I’ll take a crack at ’em!
And don’t forget those guest comic submissions!

(Wait a second! Isn’t he supposed to be on a bus today? How did this get posted?
Well, thanks to the magic of WordPress’ scheduled posting feature,
I can write this in advance.
At the time this is set to be posted,
the Real Me is somewhere between Edmonton and Jasper!
MAGIC!)

"Look Mom, LOOK! I made something on the internet!"

Today’s guest comic appears courtesy the enigmatic “EK R”.
He also included what he termed “major Google fodder” with his e-mail,
which I have decided to share with you all.

There is a guest comic today because I am more than a hundred kilometres away
from my tablet. But fear not! Tomorrow through the end of the week
should see me back at the wheel.

BEGIN COMMENTARY: I honestly never knew who EK R really was, and his work is almost as baffling now as it was then. That…that’s all. [March 24, 2012]
