Korean Ginseng Drink With Root

Who would drink something like this? It looks like the facehugger from Aliens in a jar without the top part. Well Apparently I would, because after 3 trips to the store I couldn't resist buying it. Unfortunately It tasted pretty much like you would think it would... like someone stuck a houseplant in your flat ginger ale and let it sit for a couple days.

What was I thinking?

It's too late now.

Ah! All the flavor of dirt, none of the grit

Storm!

So I had my drapes closed all night that night and about 5 in the morning I decided to open them and BAM this is what I saw, it was much more impressive in real life, it had lightning in it and everything. It ended up producing quite the storm.

Opened my drapes..What did I SEE?

This is the new Molly design. She's gone through quite a few, but I think this is the best one so far.

With the next page update all of the "6 Friends" will have finally been introduced. Which, interestingly enough just happens to be page 100! Yay to me!

Like Diet Coke from the Tap Only Without the Ice

New Coke Zero

Like a good restaurant diet coke without the ice, but with the same effect as if it had ice in it, only without the cubes.

I have to say that although I think it's funny that Coke has three versions of essentially the same product out right now; Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Splenda, and Coca-Cola Zero, That this version might be the best. It's hard to say after half a bottle, but I'm liking it so far. While Diet Coke with Splenda tastes like Diet Coke with splenda in it, and Diet Coke tastes like itself, Zero is like a less harsh version of Diet Coke. It is sweetened with a blend of aspartame and acesulfame potassium which I guess cuts down on the Aspartame after taste you usually get with Diet Coke.

I have noticed a slight metallic taste on my tongue now though. Still, as someone who will sit and drink 3 to 6 cans of Diet Coke in a row, I can see this one being able to hold up to the cumulative effect. DC with Splenda does NOT.

A-Kon

Well we just got back from A-Kon. We had a table in the Artists Alley and participated in 8 webcomic related panels with other webcomic artists.

Getting all of our stuff to Dallas was kind of crazy, we took 6 suitcases full of books, our display stuff etc. We barely had room for clothes! After Acen we learned that wheeled suitcases are a godsend and I bought a whole bunch from Target right before we left, they were cheap, and some of the handles broke off, (we were really pushing the limit of weight the things could stand up to) but in the end we wouldn't have been able to do it without them.
Here are some pictures:

JQ behind our table, we had to improvise our set up.
