ok it looks like I can’t even schedule posts or put up image files in the only widely available internet outlet I have at my disposal here in the heartlands; Culver’s Butterburgers has a free wifi connection. 54 mbs and no up or download. I can only hope this post reaches you. I do not think it will be possible to post from a free connection here so there is going to be some irregularity in my updates. I think I wil take this time to rebuild the layout and finish work on my tentative gallery site. hope to have more news later.

no need to click for pics here folks you can read this wherever and not miss anything. It looks like my scanner has taken itself offline sometime during the move. I can’t imagine what trauma might have caused this but the preliminary outlook does not look good. What this means to you dear viewer is that I can no longer place images of completed works online. Pair this with my current lack of internet and you might predict  a post shortage here at The OverDrone but fear not my fearless Interneteer for I have prepared for this eventuality.

That is right, way back when I started The OverDrone back on a service I will affectionately call Blearger I knew this day might come and so I began laying in supplies of pointless internet links, links which a normal person might never consider as real posts but nevertheless the thin gruel they make will see you through the coming months. I will try to supplement these dried stores with any fresh shoots and leaves not to mention berries which the spring thaw reveals to me here in the internet wilds.

To summarize:

It’s back to the links BITCHEz

Originally drawn and inked in December 09. Painted in April.

Right, well this piece was done on some very textured watercolor paper, Arches I think. The panel measures about 8×14. I should really go over the gutters with some zinc white but things have been busy. I haven’t picked up a brush for a week now so just to keep things rolling along today and tomorrow we’ll look at the full pages the recent panels have come from. After that I m not sure but I’ll try to get something together by then.

Well gang, it’s happened. I’ve gone and forgot to write a Meta-Peanuts for you today. See, I just moved and I haven’t got regular internet. Even now I write this at a public terminal. Pity my low bandwidth. Instead you will see above two pages from the original text. Undoctored, they carry the same pathos and humanity that Charles Schulz is known for.

Really my words are just the marshmallow fluff that lubricates the nutritious chunks of jello and fruit in this particular dish of ambrosia.

If you found that metaphor to be obscure try this first effort that I nixed due to it’s regional nature.

Really my words are just the lye that renders the  meaty whitefish’s bones and flesh into a pungent gelatin in this particular dish of Lutefisk.

Here are some  pictures of things my cat has left for me to keep the blogs of war at bay …
