See this guy? I’m making a webcomic about this guy. My artist, Erin Fusco, drew him. I wrote him. And he needs a home.
Erin and I don’t know much about designing a site. What we need is a Tumblr theme for displaying a webcomic. Nothing fancy, not for now anyway. If you can help, please email me at nick@toomuchnick.com.

2000: The Beatles. They were more than the Fab Four, Mom. They went on to make some really trippy stuff. Look, I’ve had Abbey Road out of the library for like two weeks. We’re done with this conversation. I’m going to go listen to “Her Majesty” five more times. Tell Dad I’m really into the Beatles.

This is a thread of people drawing frogs attacking other frogs and holding karate books. Several of them are amazing. This one supposedly only took 90 minutes.

The name of his blog is accurate. Someone on Reddit asked for a picture of a frog karate-ing other frogs with his tongues, then commenters asked for more pics, and this guy happily complied. What a winner!
This weekend an employee on the Amtrak mistook me for another young man who had ridden the same route the week before; he, like me, had been reading a book, drinking a coffee, and eating a Snickers.
Today my building manager thought I’d had a dog last time he was over.
I think I’m following someone.
