    Schlock in the Kitchen Howard Tayler was good enough to give me several suggestions for cooking from the schlockiverse. There is a lot of food in the fifteen years of the daily Schlock Mercenary, and it was fun to figure out just which one I was going to do. I didn’t have time to do…

    I know I’ve talked many times about my favorite webcomics, but I’m coming back to it again. For one thing, they are a daily habit. With my morning cuppa, I skim through anywhere from 2 to ten webcomics. For another thing, I said somewhere else recently that I never read comic books as a child.…

    I think you all know that Schlock Mercenary is my all-time favorite webcomic. What I read on a daily basis changes from time to time, but there are a few constants. And then I’ll find things like this list, which I’m leaving here so I can find it again later. Because Beatrice the Biologist has…

    Look, I’m prepping for my midterm Chemistry Lab exam. This week I have been tired and very very busy, so although I started a book (The Grimm Legacy by Addie J. King and it’s got an excellent opening paragraph, sucked me right in) I am not going to review it until I’ve had a chance…

    So the first is just a little bump on the behind, and the second is full out laughing one’s head off at the coming disaster. I’ve mentioned before I follow a few retro-recipe blogs, for amusement and potential recipe ideas. This one popped up into my email this morning, and as I looked at the…

    It’s supposed to be a review Friday, and in a way, it is. Here’s my one-sentence plug: Larry Correia’s Warbound is superbly crafted, great story, with characters who will surprise, thrill, and keep you reading to find out what happens next. Go find a copy, but start with Hard Magic if you haven’t read the…

    I didn’t grow up with comic books. Or comic strips, even, as there was no newspaper delivery out in the Alaskan Bush where I spent most of my childhood. So I came to comics rather late in life. I can remember tracking down Gary Larsen comics whenever possible, and Calvin & Hobbes, and when I…

    “Is it possible that intelligence is an aphrodisiac?” That single line caught my attention in a Schlock Mercenary strip one day, and took me from an occasional reader to a daily follower. The intelligence of the strip balances neatly with guffaw-out-loud moments that, truly, made me fall in love with it. If you enjoy mad…

    Before you hurt me, there’s two reasons for that. One, for the last decade or so, I’ve worked non-traditional hours, so Monday tends to be my day off (for relative dfinitions of ‘off’). Second, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I get the whole list of webcomics I enjoy… So that’s what today is, me sharing my…

    It is a cold and snowy day outside, the kids are mostly occupied with electronic diversions, and I am studying for my bones practical, so I don’t have the brain power for a opinion post. I thought I would share some links to my favorite geek diversions, instead. Scholck Mercenary, along with several other webcomics,…
