Set to Sea 51

on September 21, 2006

The story so far…

There’s more blood to come.

I met a certain baby last night. I think he was still a little cranky about the whole “being born” thing, but I’m sure he’s going to get over that soon, cause he’s got pretty awesome parents.

One thing Eleanor and I were a little sad about leaving behind all of the awesome Asian stores and restaurants when we left Savannah, but Athens almost makes up for it with its strong Mexican presence. There’s a great little market hidden away just a few blocks from our house, so we have to start figuring out how to make Mexican food. We tried making chilaquiles last night, which is basically fried up tortillas, eggs and salsa… it was pretty excellent. We had prickly pear fruit on the side. Anybody have any beginner-level type Mexican recipes that you recommend?

Oh yeah, vegetarian or seafood-based recipes would be awesome.

The new official letterhead

on September 20, 2006

Heh, the other day Eleanor pointed out the similarity between certain scenes in her “Beast Mother” comic, and the most recent “Set to Sea” panels. We got a sort of nervous chuckle out of this, and then Eleanor made up this “business card.” I’m thinking we should use it as our official logo, because it totally sends the right message about our comics.

For the record, I’ve had my “injury to eye” scene planned since at least panel 10 or so, so fie to your accusations, Eleanor!

In less destructive and more creative news, our friends Mary Jessica and Robert are the proud owners of a brand new, factory fresh baby, who they’ve named Tommy. I’ve yet to see him in person, but I’ve seen the photos, and he’s a baby to be reckoned with! I hope they are carefully monitoring him for any manifestations of superpowers. Best wishes to all three.

I don’t know how appropriate it is to juxtapose newborn babies and injuries to eyes, but oh well.
