Here is a comic that takes neither itself, nor you seriously.
Starshift Crisis
Summary: elitist, cynical curator of a museum of worlds based on an intergalactic starship has a giant, humorless preying mantis-like butler who makes him tea. The art is entertaining, but the writing is what comes in a cut above many a web comic I've browsed. In a way, it feels as though someone shook Douglas Adams and a webcomic fell out (except that dear old DA is dead. Uh, ewww. No shaking dead people). I'm not saying that it draws too much on Adams--just that it makes me snicker in precisely the same ways.
I tried BBQing pork chops tonight. Big, thick meaty ones. And they turned out dry and sucky. Oh well. It could have been worse. They could have been dropped in poo.

Too bad about the pork chops. I can sympathize. -Last night I looked forward to my meal of salmon (panfried w/ a wee bit of oil and lemon juice) but ended up with a rather unremarkable meal and a house that still smelled of fish this morning!
Grrrr.
Oh phoo--I'm sorry about the salmon mishap. I've done the same thing. I finally found it works best when I do this: take a big piece of tin foil, wipe olive oil on it and set the salmon on that, make sure there's some oil atop the salmon, and set a clove or 2 of garlic around it. Then curl the edges of the tin foil up to make a sort of loose package, and pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes at 300ish. The salmon ends up moist and luscious and the garlic infuses, but is not overwhelming. AND, last but not least, it doesn't leave as much of a fish smell. Huzzah!
I appreciate your thoughts about the strip! (I followed my referrer logs.)
