The Manson Blog

The talky side of The Manson Bunch

I could think of things I’d rather be doing right now….

But instead it’s past time I update people on the status of the comic. If you’ve taken a look at the main page then by now you know that the comic is on hiatus. There isn’t a lot I can do about this – if the artist isn’t producing strips then I have no strips [...]

All quiet on the Manson Front

It’s been a hectic few weeks around these parts, and in truth I haven’t had much noteworthy to say. Hence the lack of posting. The comic is obviously still chugging along, I’m keeping the spam pruned back, and when I feel like there’s something worth saying I’ll say it.

Want to hear me talk?

A short interview with The Manson Josh (I think The Manson Joe is there, but he’s not important).

P.S. Dear Mouse Overlords, still willing to perform unspeakable acts in exchange for writing Deadpool. Thanks.

A couple days late and several dollars short, my thoughts on the Champion City Comic Con

Went to con. Spent money. Won stuff. Spent more money. Drank self stupid. Did I have a good time?

Joseph did a douchebag thing

And my douchebaggery is almost its equal for not having caught it.
I noticed after the fact that there were instances of the letter U where instances of the word you belong. The past week was both stressful and busy, and unfortunately I did not catch this issue until after Episode Twelve went up. This particular [...]

The Mouse House of Ideas?

Disney has tendered an offer to buy Marvel. Fanboys claim the sky is falling. As usual they probably have no idea of what the hell they’re talking about. P.S. Dear Mouse Overlords, please hire me to write Deadpool.

Raelians want women to show their tits.

And on this we can agree. Because titties are nifty, or at least I’ve always thought so. However on every other possible subject, including their constant bullshit about cloning, “intelligent design for atheists” claims, and their veneration of Dokken roadies, Raelians should quit spanking it to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, seek psychological help [...]

So what sort of thing do I find funny?

Garfunkel & Oates. Riki “Garfunkel” Lindhome and Kate “Oates” Micucci amuse the shit out of me. Both of these women are incredibly talented, and have made me laugh on more than one occasion. Even things that actually amuse me don’t always manage to earn a laugh, yet they’ve managed to elicit several.
After finding out about [...]

I am a geek heretic.

Despite its endorsement by man-crush Wil Wheaton* I’ve avoided watching The Guild – Do You Wanna Date My Avatar video. Until tonight that is. Someone sent me the link, and by the time I realized what it was I decided to go ahead and watch it.
So, yeah… I honestly don’t see what the big fucking [...]

I was looking at my toes last night.

Which is actually a pretty unusual experience for me. I have socks on pretty much constantly, barring taking a shower, and when I do have them off I’m usually looking at the bottom of my foot rather than the top. So after staring absently at my feet for a while last night I was reminded [...]
