Boom! Comic!
2 things today. First, I just finished the
Scott Pilgrim comic book series. I was absolutely blown away! Not just a funny graphic novel with cool action scenes, but a profoundly moving one, too. Fighting, comedy, romance, hipsters: it's everything I've ever wanted in life. I think I'm going to watch the movie and then re-read the books again. And again. Rinse. Repeat.
I love the style of it all, too. If you couldn't already tell from some of the new things I added to this strip, I'm very inspired.
Second, and more importantly, it's my dad's birthday today! He's 61 and super awesome; this is the man who introduced me to sci-fi/fantasy, baseball, and Star Wars, so... blame him. I feel very blessed to have him in my life. He used to be a science teacher (he's retired now), and I can't tell you how many people have told me that one year with my dad has changed their life. Well, I've had about 26 years with him. You do the math.
Thanks, Dad, for being the best father I could possibly ask for. I hope your birthday's wonderful.
Lates!
