THE FESTIVAL OF DUCKS HAS COMMENCED.

on pizza and agency

2011-09-29T06:00:00.000-07:00

no sooner had i sat myself down to write a cover letter did i realise that i had no idea how to write a cover letter. in desperation, i turned to joey comeau for advice. this was perhaps not the best idea.

Dear Eagle Boys,

It has come to my attention, by way of one of your newspaper ads, that you are currently seeking employees for a new store opening in Artarmon. I am currently seeking employment in the Artarmon area. Could a situation so perfect for the both of us be nothing more than coincidence? Or is this, perhaps, the work of a higher power, ineffable as it may be, pushing us mere pawns towards some grand and inscrutable goal? I have never been a believer in destiny, Eagle Boys, but if nothing else, I believe in opportunity – and the situation at hand is quite an opportunity for both of us.

My recent experience working in retail, coupled with a culinary curiosity and competence inculcated by my family, makes me an ideal candidate for a position behind the counter and/or in the kitchen. The “comprehensive ongoing training” your advertisement mentions perfectly suits my indefatigable eagerness to learn. A “strong focus on fun” mirrors my optimistic philosophy and upbeat temperament. It is almost as if I was made for this job, Eagle Boys. It is almost as if four billion years’ worth of cosmic change, of planetary movement, of geological happenstance, of random mutation and systematic selection, of social, political and economic development, has been nothing more than a prelude to this very moment: to me, writing this cover letter to you; and even beyond that, to you giving me this job.

Almost.

But as I say, I do not believe in destiny. I believe in opportunity. I hope you are like me, Eagle Boys. I hope you see this situation for what it is. I hope that you do not wait for an unpredictable force to guide your hand, but that you, isolated in philosophical agency, are the one who picks up that phone and calls me.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Patch [REDACTED]

happy brony appreciation day!

2011-07-15T07:54:00.000-07:00

although i'm 54 minutes late, the sentiment is the same.

fuck yea ponies.

fifty seven minutes

2011-06-19T02:14:00.000-07:00

am i a bad person?

intervention (draft)

2011-05-19T07:35:00.000-07:00

i found this in my 'to do' folder and thought it worth sharing.

look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.

'crying snowman' soon to be renamed 'adventures in lens flares.'

hipster scientist VII: denouement

2011-04-03T06:05:00.000-07:00

so concludes hipster scientist week! who knows what the future has in store for hipster scientist, other than late hours, social alienation, and the inevitability of death?

hipster scientist VI: taxonomy

2011-04-02T05:21:00.000-07:00

you know, for a scientist, he's not too bright.

hipster scientist V: in his element

2011-04-01T06:30:00.000-07:00

hipster scientist wants you to want to punch his face.

hipster scientist IV: indie cred

2011-03-31T03:22:00.000-07:00

hipster scientist: now drawn on crumpled paper, for that vintage feel.

hipster scientist III: safety first

2011-03-31T03:19:00.000-07:00

what's that i hear you say? "where the fuck was my comic yesterday?"
quit whining, here it is now.

hipster scientist doesn't understand lab safety! he's also a douchebag.

hipster scientist II: the fossil record

2011-03-29T05:51:00.000-07:00

hipster scientist doesn't even know if he's being ironic.

it's hipster scientist week!

2011-03-28T04:45:00.000-07:00

hipster scientist. the bastard end-product of an arts/science degree.

a new hipster scientist comic every day this week! else i'll commit seppuku.

the sudoku conspiracy

2011-02-15T22:00:00.000-08:00

it's good to be back... and in an entirely new format!

new year's resolution

2011-01-01T04:11:00.000-08:00

the Crying Snowman promise to you: this year will be different, i swear!

filler II

2010-10-21T06:36:00.000-07:00

this was just too good to ignore.

god, i love this show.

better than goldfish

2010-09-26T23:09:00.000-07:00

phenomenology. what else can you do but make fun of it?

happy anniversary!

2010-09-08T07:25:00.000-07:00

fifteen comics and one filler in twelve months.

hot damn!

here's to the future, whenever that will be.

silver lining

2010-09-04T01:05:00.000-07:00

it seems i only get comics done these days if they're two lines long. any comic idea with, for instance, plot or characters, seems too daunting to start work on.

don't let it get you down

2010-06-27T04:17:00.000-07:00

hark!, my first real pop culture reference. celebrations are in order!

the write stuff

2010-06-20T05:40:00.000-07:00

the triumphant return of the gay newlyweds! if i'd known they'd come back, i would've given them hair.

double standards

2010-04-08T06:59:00.000-07:00

this shit be copyright, and don't you forget it!

extra, extra!

2010-02-23T06:31:00.000-08:00

this is terrible. i know. i'm sorry. it's not even that funny. what was i thinking? god, i need a drink.

filler

2010-01-29T02:08:00.000-08:00

just some stuff, so it looks like i'm busy.

bittersweet

2010-01-17T20:47:00.000-08:00

it is only a matter of time.

the evolution of language

2009-12-16T03:34:00.000-08:00

two awful puns in one sentence, and it's canon. i am so very proud of this monstrosity. (it's an Othello reference, if you didn't get that.)

DIY

2009-11-19T04:24:00.000-08:00

it's not the doctor from the first strip, but it's definitely the same hospital.

another satisfied customer

2009-11-15T00:00:00.000-08:00

this strip is funnier if you imagine that the sales assistant is standing IN the apples.

belonging

2009-10-19T02:09:00.001-07:00

all my year 12 homies know where it at. brb, hsc.

reticulating splines

2009-10-04T20:41:00.000-07:00

if anyone ever reads this, please start dropping "reticulating splines" into your day-to-day conversations. this should revolutionise modern language.

some people!

2009-09-16T02:51:00.000-07:00

i put on the ol' concrete boots and sink to the depths of self-reference.

living the dream

2009-09-11T04:30:00.000-07:00

i like to call music i like "important". it makes me feel superior.

an easy mistake to make

2009-09-09T05:09:00.000-07:00

how embarrassment!

hurt feelings

2009-09-08T05:14:00.000-07:00

if you're a doctor, then where's your stethoscope?
