Attention Aspiring Webcomic Creators!
It's been a long time since my last couple of posts; And while I'll spare you from all the fun stories that come from getting your corneas scraped, I will tell you that temporary blindness leaves you with a whole lotta thinking time. But surely I'm not the only one with silly, nerdy stories bouncing around in my brains. What's that? You've got a masterpiece in mind and no outlet for the world to experience it? Well, torture your souls no more, because The Escapist is looking to publish all your little musings.

Oh, I've also taken to updating PK's twitter, an effort to read again at 140 character increments. Follow us if you're into that kind of thing, and if you're not, an occasional glance at that sidebar to the right would be appreciated.






You have no idea how good it is to see you. Jesus H. in a whole wheat bun, scraped corneas? I feel like I should be thanking you for sparing us and at the same time I am just desperate to know. Sort of.
The scraping actually came from the doctors, which ultimately helped me to get better but left me deposed for so long. Some parasite was lucky enough to get some cutting done on the inside of my eyes before then.
Now I've got a month's worth of comics to catch up on. Need to follow up on Kyle Rayner's "death"...
Dude. I'm glad you're better! That sounds extremely intense.
