Hello fellow Gluemeaties! Welcome back to the punch-a-runch-a-rat-tat-ta which we like to call “The Wednesday Update.”

Yes, news was to come later… MUCH later, but here it is, nonetheless, in all its glowing, salivating beauty.

So yes, TN and Lauragorn came over for a visit and a great time was had by all. No, we didn’t all get married, thanks for asking, Sev. The very first and yet very intimate Gluemeatcon was met with much enjoyment, refreshments, and a panel headlined by moi on the issue of renaming “Acid Reflux Disease” to something slightly more disgusting to pronounce. It was a pleasure to meet the Deadmeat creators and fellow TF’ers in person, on one hand because we get along so well, but especially since in just a few days, TN will become one of them American expats as he heads for the daikon radish fields of Japan. Hopefully we wll be able to do another Gluemeatcon with much more people next year. Or at least, with a lot more bikinis.

In any extent, I wish TN nothing but the best of luck in his new venture overseas and hopefully he won’t be too busy learning the words to Kimi Ga Yo to drop by and visit us Occidentals online.

On a final note, we will be playing “Name The Reference” with Friday’s comic, so get your encyclopedias ready! Until then, enjoy our little round buddy!

Many thanks to my umbrella holder TN for the inspiration for today’s comic!

Cookie Monster has always been my favourite Sesame Street Muppet. I’ve always adored him. His drive for eating cookies blinds him to everything, even to achieving a better grasp of syntax and verb tenses. He is linear, yet layered, comedic, yet tragic, a true antihero for whom we cheer for when he caves into his cravings. He is a creature in which we recognize our failings. Imagine the disappointment when many years later I turn on the television and see that Cookie Monster had now taken to eating vegetables and fruit, because some parent’s group somewhere thought that his eating nothing but cookies was a bad influence on children, since a show like Sesame Street should be teaching better eating habits. Yeah, of course, forget about teaching kids on how to be kids and just have fun, laugh, and be goofy. Let’s make sure that our children tow the line real, real soon. Edutainment before plain fun. Sometimes I think we adults are so bitter about having left childhood so quickly we won’t allow our kids to make the most out of the short span of time they have before we start asking them to make class choices oriented towards their career.

Ooh! Rant!

Hey, the Wikipedia entry is HUGE. I’m amazed. Seems to me every day I check there’s something new. Work has started on character summaries, and I think it’s Gluemeatie Personman who added that Moko browser you kids have clamouring about. It’s really something to see, but what’s great is that it’s a true Gluemeatie project with folks working together to do something cool. There’s just one thing I need bring up: the entry says that I’m in a mock feud with BoxJam. Who ever said it was a “mock” feud? The guy’s a jerk and I wish he had boils instead of eyes.

See you on Friday!

Apologies for the lateness today, fellow Gluemeaties, but my son Mathias has been quite sick, and Dad gets really, really nervous when his son gets sick, and Dad tries to concentrate on stuff, but it quickly becomes terribly and absolutely futile. I really wanted to do this Moko comic, despite the fact I could have copped out and done something else. This one just felt right. Enjoy!

Happy New Year to you all, fellow Gluemeaties! Here’s hoping that 2005 is good to you all. Ad for me, my new year is starting off GREAT with a hardware issue on my iMac what has taken it out of operation for a few days. Thankfully, however, my iBook is still close and in commission, so I found myself having to re-do a couple of comics that I had planned, which accounts for the lateness on today’s comic. So I apologise for that. For the rest of the week, everything should be on schedule without a hitch. Here’s to wishful thinking!

Another odd was to start off the year was by learning that Jeff Rowland has ended WIGU after three years of the comic on the Internet. Kind of too bad, it was a fun comic. But, Jeff will be starting up another project, and I can only guess that it will be as successful as the late, the great WIGU.

Have a great week everyone!
