2005 and still no flying cars

Well, I'm back. Much fun was had over the christmas period, but it
would be tiresome to go into the full details here. Here's a quick
summary of what I've learned:



1) Pirates are awesome

2) I need a new
job

3) Sherlock Holmes should never attempt to track down murderous foot
fetishists

4) Nazis get everywhere

5) Running over hookers is a pleasant way to spend the morning commute into work

6) the wind in The North is feral



As you can see it has been a highly educational experience.



Happy new year folks.

So very cold

Why is my office so cold? I am going to put my coat and gloves on and see if anyone notices.

37 - R.I.P Beaver







Well, it almost didn't get made, but here's the first Beaver and Steve
strip of 2005. I'd pretty much forgotten how to hold a pencil after the
break, so I had to get up at 7 this morning to get this strip finished
in time. And don't worry: Beaver will be back. He's just, uh, sleeping.
Or maybe I'll buy you another that looks just like him.



I'm way down the vote charts at the moment, so if you like the strip please help me to attract more readers by voting
- despite a slow start I'm sure I can still get higher than last month.
There's a reassuring new vote picture too, but Drunk Duck seems to be
down at the moment, so you won't be able to see it just yet. But you
should still go ahead and vote just of of love.



Thanks everyone!

38 - jam is good for the scalp







This one might be a bit too
silly. And it's definitely too long - from the it-took-ages-to-draw
point of view. Oh how I dream of the day I own a wacom tablet. But
enough whining - I've already
started climbing the comic rankings again, so please help out by voting! Thanks!

Lazy Blogger

I know I've been very lax in my bloggage of late, so it would be rude
of me to try to pass off a link to a news story as a blog. And as you
know I am not known for my rudeness.



Scientists to torture christians



What? Seriously, what? Who on earth would volutarily say, yeah, I'm
cool with you toruring me. You know, as long as it's for science.



I particularly like this bit: Some volunteers will be shown religious symbols such as crucifixes and images of the Virgin Mary during the torture.
They claim they're trying to see if the holy symbols help ease the
pain, but I think the truth is only too obvious: it's aversion therapy.
Those naughty scientists are trying to make the voluteers frightened of
religious imagery. I guess it's just the next stage in that age old
conflict: science vs religion. Why can't they just be friends?



  Vs 



Who will win?

40 - emotibot wears a hat







Hope you like! If you vote this week I will be putting up a new image
of 'the making of Beaver and Steve' every day. Collect the set!



Oh! And I also did a guest comic for KC Green. Check it out!
Edit: the guest comic link was going to the wrong comic. Now it isn't. Rejoice!
