The New Yorker

I'm in the New Yorker! Well, sort of. Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert was interviewed in the Cartoon Lounge yesterday. He is asked to list his favorite current comic strips and he said Pearls Before Swine, Basic Instructions, and F Minus. Cool!
I've never met Scott but I owe him big time. He once just mentioned me on his blog and my hit counter shot through the roof.
Next step: Get the F Minus book in Oprah's book club.

By the way, book 2 is coming. If you haven't read the first book yet, you better get a copy, or the next one will make no sense.

Tour de Fat

Here are some pics from the Tour De Fat bike ride in Tempe, AZ. It was the first time I have ever done it, but it won't be the last...

Here's me on my skull cruiser:
This guy was riding a shopping cart bike while playing a make-shift didgeridoo with another guy in the cart keeping rhythm with drum sticks. I followed this guy most of the way. Pulling these speakers blasting great biking music ensured the party went wherever he did:
Shoes for wheels. Wow.
I won't even try to explain this:
Ask for a bike this Christmas.

Holiday fun

I've been asked about my Halloween costume so I thought I'd let you in on the idea early. Linz and Cam and I are going for a trio costume this year. We will be... The First Thanksgiving. That's right, we will go as the birth of our most delicious holiday. One of us will be a Pilgrim, one will be a Native American, and one lucky person will be a turkey. I will post photos later. Below is a photo of the three of us dressed as skeletons riding bicycles. (Bicycles not pictured)

I'm Back

Hey all, Sorry I haven't blogged for a while, but I've been very busy. For one thing, I've been moving. I'm still here in good old Arizona, but now I'm a few miles closer to New Mexico. So I've been doing a lot of painting and cleaning and looking for boxes behind stores at midnight.

Also...... --I proposed-- to my longtime girlfriend, Lindsay. And she said yes! Here is a picture of the happy couple:
This was taken right before we were kicked out of medical school. As you can see, it was meant to be.
This is good news for F Minus fans, because Lindsay has the difficult task of convincing me that I have seven more comic ideas in me every week. In exchange, I record her favorite shows on the Tivo.
We're planning a May wedding.
