Look Who's Evil Now

TRICK OR TREAT!!!

Thanks all for waiting a day for the comic to come out; MUCH has happened (including a few auditions, an appointment, and New York Comic Con starting). I hope you like the strip.

New York Comic Con starts TODAY! I'm so excited. Got a 4-day pass and all my geek gear ready. Gonna hobnob with the nerd elite! And pass out anti-perspirant. I'm doing a public service.

Tonight is the kick-off concert with Ben Folds Five! Fingers crossed I get in. Fingers crossed I don't die from excitement after seeing them.


NEXT WEEK: Who's evil NOW?!?!?! (probably more of the kids, I would say...)


Lates!

P.S. If you DO like this strip, or a part of it, or the whole comic for that matter, please retweet or share links to the site through your facebook or blog. I'd love to share [harbor] with as many people as I can, and you're a big part in making that happen & keeping the family growing. So, if you haven't yet tweeted, posted, or facebooked the comic, please do so! And if you have: thanks.

It's a Business

Supply and Demand!

Getting back in the swing of things now that September is here. Is it just me or does Summer feel like a pause in one's actual life? "I'm doing this but once Summer ends I'll be back to my old routine." Or what-have-you. That's how it's felt for me, at least.

Fall is my favorite. Fall flavors, fall leaves, and fall clothing. I like sweaters; I don't like sweating.


Keep on keeping on!

You're the Top

COMMISSION!

Summer's over (though nobody decided to tell New York; two words: MUG. GY!) I'm definitely ready to get back into the swing of things. Plus, Fall is my favorite season.

Last week I got to see people I don't see on a normal basis. I was very glad I got the chance to.


Next Week: Will Michael the Bunny's sales tactics pay off?

So You Wanted To See The Wizard

FRIENDS!

Nothing new on this front. Just waiting for November so I can start my Christmas show in Pennsylvania. Yup! Doing a Christmas show in Lancaster, PA with the Dutch Apple, an amazing dinner theatre. It's called Swingin' Christmas and they asked me to bring my tap shoes, so you know I'm excited for it.

Oh! I love my family. And my friends. And my family made up of friends.
This concludes the mushy, sappy portion of our blog.

See you next week!

Nice Work If You Can Get It

Benefits!

So, yesterday I performed at my first ever stand-up open mic at Cha Cha's in Little Italy. It was fun and a little less daunting when I finally got up there; the terror is in the anticipation, right? A lot of good comics were out there: some new, some veterans, all trying to work out their material. I told jokes about pet owners, Batman, kids, and having a lot of energy. The crowd was welcoming and supportive. Got a few laughs, a couple of loud guffaws, and a lot of positive feedback. I've been wanting to try stand-up for a long time; out of all the art mediums it's the one I fear the most, and so I'm glad I finally fought that fear and tried it. I certainly think I'll be trying my hand at some more stand-up in the weeks, months, and years to come.

And maybe I have a video of my first-ever open mic. And maybe I'll post it on YouTube soon. Maybe.

Thanks all for your wonderful thoughts, love, and good vibes for yesterday. They made all the difference.

P.S. I met another stand-up gentleman, who I believe is 54. First, he thought I was 22 instead of 27 (thank you, sir!); second, when I told him this was my first time he said something to me that took me completely by surprise. He said, "That's great that you're starting young." ...What? I know of comics who started at 22, 21, even 18. I thought I had started running way past the gunshot. But he had started at 50 and showed no illwill or remorse towards the fact. His one comment made me realize that youth, time, success: they're all relative.

Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now. See you next week.

This Time of the Year

Had a great time choreographing last week. The cast and crew were an absolute pleasure to work with.

Back in New York now and feeling better than ever. And only 20 more days until Christmas. (yikes!)

Next Week: Don Lily's Christmas cheer continues.

Lates!
