I've been sick the last three days and it's worse today. Aches and pains and an incredible lethargy. I've slept about 24 hours of the last 48 and I'm still tired.

I'm having weird dreams, too. In fact, I've dreamed a very nice long-term plot for IWaTACL, if I can draw some of the characters. :) The Alley Oop musical I dreamed is right out though. :)

Does the duckling need a name?

Pickle is a baseball term; it's when a baserunner gets caught between two fielders who toss the ball back and forth while the runner tries to find a base before he gets tagged. :)

I spent all day drawing ducks. I hope it was worth it. :)

Frogs and turtles aren't particularly political but they have their own brand of patriotism.

It takes a lot of talent to be a frog. Zook demonstrates in Frisky Business. He's cruising in a manner of speaking. :)

The new Beastly Thoughts is up. And the first story page of [I Was a Teen-age Cheerleader] is pencilled, written, and lettered. :) Looks like Saturday is a go for that one.

The newest Beastly Thoughts is up at Number Please. The guy in the foreground is a drawing of my roommate, Adam Sanford. When you read the cartoon, you'll know how appropriate that is. :)

I've resurrected my old comic strip, Beastly Thoughts and have been posting the old cartoons with a few new ones intended for the mix. It's at Beastly Thoughts. Take a look and make a comment. :) This is what I was doing last night and why I slept so late this morning.

Alistair 2 Zook gets sporty at the Diamond-by-the-Pond. Take a look here or here and leave a comment, please. :) Beginning of a short story arc.

New A2Z up, here.. I keep trying new things, so give me a clue how they are working. :)

Oh, and I'm seriously thinking of "I Was a Teenage Cheerleader" starring Walter Buffle. :)

For those that remember me mentioning this earlier--my roommate Griff and I developed a webcomic together called, "Alistair 2 Zook". Griff is now in the middle of getting degrees in sociology and no longer has time to do any cartooning. So, I took a try at it.

While the numeric address is up there, do not bookmark this site. It probably wouldn't work later if you did. Things should be entirely resolved sometime tonight or tomorrow. We've done all we can today, we're just waiting for new addresses to propagate through the web. ;)

Gallery will be occasionally unavailable while Bob and I figure out why we are having apache crashes during times of peak load at the gallery site.

I'm very sick with recurring sinusitis and complications. I'm going to bed now, hope to be better in the morning. Got new drugs from doctor.

Hugs,
