This week one of my co-workers brought in <i>Halo 3<\/i> which we played a few rounds of. The controls are amazingly smooth, to the point that I felt like my mediocre playing ability was <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Embiggen#Cromulent_and_Embiggens\"><i>embiggened<\/i><\/a> by the controls. In reference to my in-game squirrely-ness and how difficult it was to kill me, my co-worker said, &#8220;you&#8217;re like a monkey from hell.&#8221; That&#8217;s probably just true about me in general.<\/p>\n<p>(<i><b>EDIT<\/b>: I am not the originator of the concept for Halo Kitty, please read <a href=\"http:\/\/bootlegsketch.blogspot.com\/2007\/09\/greetings-new-visitors-also-addendum-in.html\">THIS<\/a>.<\/i>)<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the day job&#8211;it somehow slipped by me that <i>Bart Simpson&#8217;s Treehouse of Horror #13<\/i> was unleashed in comic book stores this past Wednesday. It features a seven-page story written by Comedian of Comedy Patton Oswalt, pencilled by yours truly, inked by the steady neuro-surgeon-like hands of Mike Rote, and colored by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nathanhamill.com\/\">Hammers<\/a>. The story is called <i>They Draw<\/i> and is a parody of the excellent cult classic <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/They_Live\">They Live<\/a>. Check it out in stores now, and if you&#8217;re in the Los Angeles area, there&#8217;s going to be a signing for the book on October 13th at Golden Apple:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/i11.photobucket.com\/albums\/a156\/ohsnapsucka\/tohad.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px; cursor: hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/i11.photobucket.com\/albums\/a156\/ohsnapsucka\/tohad.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 78%;\">click above for larger view<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Posting early so I can get moving on some other stuff&#8230;)\u00a0 \u00a0 Today&#8217;s sketch has been drawn and scanned for several months.
