A Little Something I’ve Been Working On…

I’d like you to visit the new Blank Label Comics hub. The link will pop you into a new window. Feel free to come back here and discuss what you see…

I say “I’ve been working on” this. Truth be told, the heavy lifting was done by my friend John from Novell, and it couldn’t have happened without the cooperation of our Blank Label’s generous hosts at Bookworm Computing and Dumbrella Hosting. David Willis did the page layout.

All I did was crack the whip, cajole, beg, and then try to get all the different pieces to work together nicely.

If you’re still wondering what I’m talking about, by all means, go have a look.

So I put it to you… fill in the blanks. “I don’t want to [blank]. I want to have [blank]ed.” Continue reading I don’t want to [blank]. I want to have [blank]ed.

Best typo ever…

From this CNN article about the stumping in Iowa:

The Clinton campaign was distributing hundreds of shovels to help clear the sidewalks of supporters

So… either CNN needs a “for” in place of that “of,” or Hillary is putting Obama supporters to the sharp end of the shovel.

I wonder what the AP photo would look like?
