Interesting Times Friday Mailbag: "Doin’ It For Marks"

Please send in your questions to
journalcomic at gmail dot com
and maybe you will get to see your question answered
in a Friday Mailbag!
Alternately, you may see them in a “Friday” Mailbag,
which happens when I forget or am otherwise preoccupied on a Friday
and write it on Saturday instead!
How Exciting

[BEGIN COMMENTARY] I am going to toot my own horn and say that yes, I am pretty good at writing essays. “But wait,” you cry, “I’ve seen all your report cards and you never really do better than like a B average in English classes. How can you claim to be good?” Well, the B was attained with no great effort on my part, and I get good grades on essays I’ve banged out the night before. So I always said to myself, just think what you could achieve with only a little more effort! But rather than put in that effort, I remained satisfied with knowing that I could if I wanted to.

Interesting Times Friday Mailbag: "History Lesson"

Hello! Please continue sending
fascinating questions like this to
journalcomic at gmail dot com
and I shall do my best to answer them
and also to amuse at the same time!

(do not worry: today’s look for the comic is not permanent.
I am working on my tiny laptop,
and this is the best I can do under the circumstances.
Still, not bad though, eh?)

Interesting Times presents "Second Birthday"!

Hooray!

Yes, it’s true!
Two years since the first comic went up.
We’ve had some good fun, haven’t we?

Many thanks to all who have taken
the time to read,
and enjoy, and comment
(both positive and negative!)

Special thanks to Tom
at Southland Cinemas,
because I promised him a credit in the video
and completely forgot afterward.

Here’s to another year!
Let’s go!

comics of reconciliation

I have often regretted — lamented, really — the fact that I did not just copy/paste the face from panel 1 into the rest of the panels. Why? I repeat, over and over, as I toss and turn at night. Why wasn’t I just lazy?!

In all seriousness it does look a bit odd. On the other hand it’s one of the first comics that I know of which somebody, of their own free will, actually printed and posted on a surface. [January 27, 2012]
