Schlock in the Kitchen Howard Tayler was good enough to give me several suggestions for cooking from the schlockiverse. There is a lot of food in the fifteen years of the daily Schlock Mercenary, and it was fun to figure out just which one I was going to do. I didn’t have time to do … Continue reading
I know I’ve talked many times about my favorite webcomics, but I’m coming back to it again. For one thing, they are a daily habit. With my morning cuppa, I skim through anywhere from 2 to ten webcomics. For another thing, I said somewhere else recently that I never read comic books as a child. … Continue reading
I think you all know that Schlock Mercenary is my all-time favorite webcomic. What I read on a daily basis changes from time to time, but there are a few constants. And then I’ll find things like this list, which I’m leaving here so I can find it again later. Because Beatrice the Biologist has … Continue reading
Look, I’m prepping for my midterm Chemistry Lab exam. This week I have been tired and very very busy, so although I started a book (The Grimm Legacy by Addie J. King and it’s got an excellent opening paragraph, sucked me right in) I am not going to review it until I’ve had a chance … Continue reading
So the first is just a little bump on the behind, and the second is full out laughing one’s head off at the coming disaster. I’ve mentioned before I follow a few retro-recipe blogs, for amusement and potential recipe ideas. This one popped up into my email this morning, and as I looked at the … Continue reading
It’s supposed to be a review Friday, and in a way, it is. Here’s my one-sentence plug: Larry Correia’s Warbound is superbly crafted, great story, with characters who will surprise, thrill, and keep you reading to find out what happens next. Go find a copy, but start with Hard Magic if you haven’t read the … Continue reading
I didn’t grow up with comic books. Or comic strips, even, as there was no newspaper delivery out in the Alaskan Bush where I spent most of my childhood. So I came to comics rather late in life. I can remember tracking down Gary Larsen comics whenever possible, and Calvin & Hobbes, and when I … Continue reading
“Is it possible that intelligence is an aphrodisiac?” That single line caught my attention in a Schlock Mercenary strip one day, and took me from an occasional reader to a daily follower. The intelligence of the strip balances neatly with guffaw-out-loud moments that, truly, made me fall in love with it. If you enjoy mad … Continue reading
Before you hurt me, there’s two reasons for that. One, for the last decade or so, I’ve worked non-traditional hours, so Monday tends to be my day off (for relative dfinitions of ‘off’). Second, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I get the whole list of webcomics I enjoy… So that’s what today is, me sharing my … Continue reading
It is a cold and snowy day outside, the kids are mostly occupied with electronic diversions, and I am studying for my bones practical, so I don’t have the brain power for a opinion post. I thought I would share some links to my favorite geek diversions, instead. Scholck Mercenary, along with several other webcomics, … Continue reading
