Tom Ray

I always thought the name was tied to the one on your credit card.

I wanted to run it right away to test it but that seems silly.

Of course, I didn't know what an actual sawbuck was either.

This is the first time one of the claims has been resolved. And I heard the song, it's not even close to ours. 

It's something that's measured by earning royalties. I'm just so used to watching for ad clicks.

I used to know all the different roads to get to his house. Figured it would be like muscle memory.

Just messing with color shapes on my tablet drawing software. Ended up drawing a bear as Robin hood laughing and pointing. You can check out more of my doodles here .

I hope it at least sounded sarcastic.

I haven't seen that movie in decades so not sure why it's in my head. 

I called them to change the pump and he checked the plumbing again. 

I should have let it hit my car. 

Listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | RSS On this episode of the podcast, I meet Jeremiah Logemann of Flags Over Wisconsin . Jeremiah is a creator living in Madison WI. Jeremiah started his whole business by creating a version of a wooden flag that he saw. He wanted one like it so he made it. Then after posting it on Facebook other people started asking him to make one for them. This all lead to a series of events that involved finding reclaimed wood and then building larger pieces for people and eventually local businesses. Then Jeremiah started to wonder what else could I do? And through trial and error expanded into t-shirts and other household gift items.

I don't think anyone has done that to me since high school.

Of course it happens the one time I forget to run my backup recording device.

Episode 8 - of my animated cartoon series Xylus and Dexter in Space!  Here is episode 8 of my animated cartoon Xylus and Dexter in Space! Concept In this final episode of the story: Xylus and Dexter escaped from the alien Phineas Handala and Xylus has his own plan for how to fix this whole situation. ( Related post: Xylus and Dexter in Space! "Pins and Needles" Episode 7 ) Artwork I decided to elaborate on more of the background art that I liked from the last few cartoon episodes that I was experimenting with. I used more of the digital sponge artwork keeping with the style of the old cartoons from Hanna-Barbera that I've been watching. What I did for the backgrounds on this was create them as a digital painting in GIMP and then imported them into the animation software and drew vector outlines on them to sharpen them up. I also did a 90s Nickelodeon-style cartoon splatter background. The kind they did to show how stuff is going off the rails. I did this for the scene w...

I can't tell if he recognizes me too when I see him. 

I make little bets like that with myself all the time and I don't know why.

I notice this every summer.

Also, why did they say "even though she just got back from vacation?"

I sit down and show how I draw my webcomic in this video In the video, I show the process of how I draw my webcomic diary using the Medibang Paint app on my drawing tablet and talk about my process. How long does it take me to draw my webcomic? The whole process to draw my webcomics is meant to keep with the diary-style I like to convey. So I draw it all freehand to keep it loose just like writing ideas and thoughts down in a diary or journal. I try not to spend more than 15 minutes drawing the comic, sometimes maybe 20 but I always try to keep it short. I actually found that if I spent a lot of time making it perfect and detailed it doesn't seem like an authentic story that actually happened to me. So how do I begin the process of drawing my webcomic? How do I start my webcomic drawings? Every day I kind of have an idea of something that happened today in my head that I want to draw about. As I open my drawing app on my tablet I'm still thinking about the idea I have for th...

I got it to work but the box was pretty hilarious looking when I was done.

And it makes me argue with myself in my head about if I'm right about the day or not. 

It was nice to be outside though.

I smelled my shirt and ruled out it wasn't me at least.

Bugs actually flew into my eye two more times.
