This one is from my Spring 2013 course called "Neurobiology & Spirituality."

My how time flies...
So, one of my students innocently sent me a link to a text series about two friends exchanging fish puns (see below).
I innocently forwarded this to a friend, with whom I shared MC duties at a camp talent show, where at one point, we, you guessed it, exchanged fish puns.
I should have known what would happen, but I did not expect this...

 Kenny -

 Don't get me started. I don't want to have to take you out behind the woodshedd aquarium and take you to school on fish puns. I'm hatchling a plan right now to fry you down to your sole.

Axis II Malware

After viruses, Trojan horses, worms, bots, and other spyware, the latest in computer malware started from mental health billing software. It is malicious code that gives your computer a Personality Disorder. It might be difficult to detect, since every computer has a "personality." The following list should help distinguish "normal" computer "quirks" from actual pathology.

How to recognize the types identified thus far:

Antisocial

• Sells your private info to other ASPD computers on network
• hogs processing power from other programs, corrupting their files in doing so

Fake It 'Til You Make It

While I'm giving my drawing hand a break (how's that for an excuse), I want to include one definition that was forged after the original list was committed to Word. My wife and I conjured this one up:

Opossthumous - describing work that is published after playing dead Go to top

A bit of a tangent

I wouldn't ordinarily do this, because I tend to be a stickler for self-imposed rules, but I feel the need sometimes to express myself in words rather than toons (weird condition, I know). Anyways, a couple of years ago, I started getting emails from friends that included a list of words from a Washington Post contest or something, where the goal was to provide new definitions for words by altering the original words by one letter (for example, Sarchasm (n): The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.).

So, taking up the challenge on my own, I decided to come up with my own personal list, sticking to the rules for the most part (adding, removing, or changing a single letter). Furthermore, as a compulsive quirk, I organized the list with representatives of each letter of the alphabet. SO, here they are, a non-visual deconstruction of the English Language:

Acronymph - Some EXpert Pornstar’s Official Title

Angoraphobia - the fear of wearing scratchy sweaters

Diggin the past

Well, after a long dry spell (that's L-O-N-G-D-R-Y), I've finally woken up to include some historical pix that I unearthed on a recent trip to my home cache. The next few entries provide a quaint and nostalgiac (oh, wait, that was one of my toons) look at my roots. Actually, it's easier to see one's roots when one has bed-head...

Behind Schedule

Notice the crude pen marks, the use of lined paper, the faint shadows of drawings on the other side... This is historic stuff people!

In my aforementioned archaeological acquisitions (of astonishing alliterative allusions), I discovered that many of my toons were VERY rude and disgusting. Fortunately, I now have the presence of mind for self-censorship. But if anyone has any problems with my choice of drawing, please write me and I will take your opinion into consideration.
