Facebook Hilarity
I participated in a hilarious conversation on Facebook with my co-workers. I had to share it with you guys!
Nathan Vitatoe beth, do you find Wes’ music and vid clips as distracting and disturbing as I do?
Wes Molebash No.
Nathan Vitatoe you don’t get to vote
Wes Molebash I get three votes. So I guess I win.
Nathan Vitatoe that would be true, but your three votes are only .25 a piece, so you still lose
Beth Klingele Actually you neither one in my voting district so SORRY!
Wes Molebash Just got out of court where a judge ruled that Wes Molebash is equal to three men and one bear. The transcripts are available at the Ross County Court House, just look for Molebash v. Ross County. So, with that settled, my votes are now worth three “normal” votes plus a bear. I don’t know if the bear will give me any edge when it comes to voting, but I’m using him anyway.
Beth Klingele Does he have a hockey stick? Cause that makes all the difference!
Nathan Vitatoe Ohio Revised Code 4369.15b states that ‘all voting or ballot precedings are null and void if the individual in question invokes the vote of a bear or implies the vote of a bear.’ All parties residing within the State of Ohio are subject to the no-bear voting clause which nullifies not only the bears vote, but all of your previous votes as the bear vote holder.
Nathan Vitatoe the chair recognizes Mr. Molebash if he has anything to add…go ahead Mr. Molebash…?…what? can’t hear you…nothing.
Wes Molebash Federal Revised Code 1789J.39-86 (effective June 14, 2007): states cannot discriminate against bears (or any member of the family Ursidae) concerning federal and state affairs including, but not limited to, the issuance of drivers’ licenses, property rights and deeds, and voting rights. . . . Any known discrimination against voting rights of bears reported on or after the effective date of this code shall result in a bear’s vote being doubled as well as all previous votes whether human or bear. – Looks like my votes count as six normal votes and two bear votes. So I still win.
Nathan Vitatoe the FRC mentioned above specifically refers to ‘pinnipeds’ a relative of caniforms in the Ursidae family and cannot be justly applied to caniforms in particular. If your bear is not a web footed mammal then this issue will need to be taken up ‘ab initio’ with the High Council of Office Airwaves for further clarification in which your bear will need to provide counsel ‘pro hac vice’.
Wes Molebash Federal Revised Code 1356Z.45-23 (effective October 9, 2000): one Nathan Vitatoe vote counts as -75 (negative seventy-five) regular votes. – Looks like even if I have 0 votes, it’s still more than -75 votes. I still win.
Nathan Vitatoe that ruling was in regard to Nathan Vitatoe from Djibouti and not that of Nathan Vitatoe from Ohio, USA. Irrelevant and erroneous
Wes Molebash The entire time we’ve been having this discussion I’ve been listening to weird music and watching disturbing video clips.
Nathan Vitatoe I’ll concede that point.
Beth Klingele These bears were drugged and therefore their vote does not count. Please see…ORC 959.05 DRUGGING ANIMALS ENTERED IN COMPETITION PROHIBITED
Stuff Christians Like
I recently discovered a hilarious blog called Stuff Christians Like written by Jon Acuff. The blog pokes fun at the Christian subculture, and last year Jon wrote an entry about his mural idea that churches are refusing to paint on their walls. I decided to take Jon up on his challenge and lay out his mural idea in full-color. You can check out the artwork right here. Make sure to leave comments and let Jon know he’s freakin’ awesome.

About The Charity: Amie’s Angels is a Relay for Life team. Created by Amie Morgan when she found out she had been diagnosed with cancer, Amie’s Angels has helped raised more than $75k for the American Cancel Society’s Madison County Relay for Life, upon many other activities such as volunteering at the Arthur James Cancer Hospital assisting other head and neck cancer patients. At age 38, after a brave and courageous five year battle with bone cancer, Amie passed away peacefully on August 28th, 2009. After much discussion, in memory of Amie and all those who she has touched by her selflessness, bravery and wonderful heart, Amie’s Angels would continue to raise money for the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.

Newsyness
Mid-Ohio Con was a blast even though I was horribly unprepared and I was selling the same stuff for the third straight year. 2010 is already looking to be quite a bit more eventful, and I’m pretty psyched about that. The best thing about attending the Mid-Ohio Con this year was being reminded why I love making comics. It is so humbling to be approached by new and old readers who just want to tell me “thanks” for writing and drawing cartoons. I want to give a big “thank you” to all the people that came out and chatted me up over the weekend. It was a pleasure to talk with all of you.
Now on to business . . .
I received the contract from the publisher regarding the giant YHT book I told you about earlier. I’ve signed the contract and I’ll be emailing it back tonight. I’m pretty psyched about this project, and I feel like I’m being given the opportunity to create the YHT book I’ve always wanted to create. The publisher is Th3rdWorld Studios, and they do gorgeous work. Check out the new trade of Brock Heasley’s Superfogeys to get an idea of what you can expect for the giant YHT omnibus!
The next step is to draw the cover for the book so we can start soliciting it. Then I need to get all the strips wrangled together and see how many pages we have to work with. I’m not exactly sure what the bonus content will consist of until I see how much room I have after the more than ONE THOUSAND comic strips are laid out. I’ll keep you posted.
In other news, Myron and Charlie has a publisher. The publishing company is getting ready to launch in the early summer of 2010, and M&C will be posted once a week on its website. There are also some other things going on with M&C in conjunction with the new publisher, but I’ll discuss the details as we get closer to the website’s launch date. Needless to say, new Myron and Charlie strips won’t be produced until next year.
Finally, I’ve been working on a new comic strip. I’m returning to the daily strip format, and I’ve been tinkering around with ComicPress to see how much damage I can do with CSS. I’m pretty psyched about this new comic, and I’ll talk more about it later as I finish some drawings and get the website together.
