Don’t play with you food, Buddy.

For those of you who may be new to the Beardo/Arnold consortium, every time Beardo kisses Arnold he gets a hair in his mouth.

Whew! I’ve been revising the dailies collections since June, and I think I finally finished yesterday. I thought I would have everything done by the beginning of September, but no way. I had to resize all the pages and reformat my word files, and I kept finding mistakes. There are probably errors that I missed, but the books are much better than the first time around. They should be available on Amazon in a week or so. And I was able to make them cheaper. Earlier I redid my single panel books on Amazon and the print quality is much better than before.  Here’s an Excel page for the layout 2007-2008 book:

If you blow it up you might be able to read it. Every story or stand alone gag is labeled. I have the page number where they appear in the book, a description of the gag or the story, how many strips in a chapter and how many pages each chapter takes up. There’s a total of almost 10,000 strips. Double whew.

Last night I dreamed that Robert Crumb came and visited me. We had a nice conversation. I saw him in France at a book fair 25 years ago.

Sorry. My internet was out yesterday.

I’ll get around to the T-Shirt lottery. I’ve just been too busy with my book revisions. By the end of this week or the beginning of next I should be finished. Meanwhile…

I just came across this:

That’s, from the front, Mizell, Debbie, 19 year old Duce, Eagle, Pepsie, Dopey, Robin, Shorty and Twister. At one time Shorty was a pack mule, but he kept falling down. That’s U-No-Hoo third from the back. We went down about 1000 feet then back up. I gained a lot of respect for mules that day.
