east, meet west.

Howdy y'all. One week 'til the big test. Thought I'd share yet another one of my unfinished story projects, one that I recently reaminated. I have a notorious habit of coming up with a story idea, characters, plotlines, preliminary sketches, and then putting the whole shebang in a drawer for archaeologists to unearth with horsehair brushes. Here's two drawings I did of a guy I like to call Meechum Fork, the kung fu cowboy.

These action pics show Meechum charging up one of his Ultimate Attacks - the Dragon Slayer. The short graphic novel is tentatively titled "The Ridiculous Adventures of Meechum Fork: Kung Fu Cowboy." It is intended to be a kinetic comedaction tale with possible serial plot lines. Given the regularity with which I complete things, however, just one finished episode will be pushing it.

Omphaloskepsis will be back in a little over a week! Until then, enjoy these morsels as y'all mosey down th' dusty trail...

PLEASE STAND BY

Omphaloskepsis will return before you can say "accompanist." Because the author cannot. Hey, let's check in on him, why don't we...
Oh dear. We apologize for the delay. Normal service will be returned shortly, and piping hot funny will be delivered to your internet doorstep very soon.

Comic 40! Here's a project for you this week: the antonym of "antonym" is "synonym." What is the synonym of "synonym?"

It's an autological paradox!

Comic 38! The only cure for k. d. is the end of 2nd year, and the end of lectures in your academic life.

This is a good a place as any to brag about the creativity of my friends! I hosted the 2nd DAAM (Dinner And A Movie) party last night, a delightful soiree centered around good films, good food, and of course good times. Also good wine. We watched The Birdcage, and in keeping with the theme, people brought food in drag - food dressed up as something else! Behold the culinary masterpieces of my guests:Bird's nests!

Comic 37! Some the funniest moments of the past semester have been phone calls from my little sister asking for the words for various things. Random sample of my answers: phallus, listeria monocytogenes, areola.

I really should be studying instead of drawing...Step 1 feels imminent. Two months plus change away...
