Wanking Around, Wondering...

i'm going to vote his child bangs on the door any time he is on the other side of it.

His kid is the same age as my oldest, which means she's probably starting kindergarten in the next couple of weeks (if she hasn't already). The frequency of strips may increase significantly in the next few months.

Then again, it may drop off even further as he realizes that once the munchkin is gone for the day he can go back to bed.

A quick regression of mine predicts 9/4 will be the next strip.

No man, you forgot to include the +⁶ in your algorithm for the upcoming holiday weekend.

I really don't want to keep honking this horn, but the way the guy is producing is...troubling.

oh yeah, id have to put in a dummy variable if-weekend, but ive closed the spreadsheet now. The model is pretty accurate against history with a 3 day range. The early days of him posting 5 a week have to be discounted as well.

Has he ever posted five a week?

I don't know, that would require me to apply some effort.   And since that is something that Onstad appears to be incapable of on anything like a regular basis....

I took a gander at the "free fanflow" thing with Pat's dance contest.  The few chuckles I got out of it were completely offset by thinking "this is Onstad's creative cumshot for the entire week right here, so I guess we won't have any forward motion on the story arc until after Labor Day weekend." 

I'm more entertained these days by complaining about Achewood than I am by the strip itself.

5 a week ended about the same time he shuttered Dumbrella and we landed here. The synergy of that makes me want to go all THE BOB TALBOT but I will resist.

Sadness but True-ness.

Oh, The Bob Talbot! I haven't thought about him in years.

He's not putting enough in the front end to attract new readers and he's not putting enough in the back end to entice his longtime fans to sign up.

That seems backwards. Surely it's

new readers = ass men
longtime fans = breast men

Good news from his Twitter:

Was Mr. Mom for last two weeks of summer vac. Got sweet f/a done. Holing up with whisky and anger again.

Shit, we have to wait until next April?

Good news lies from his Twitter:

Two weeks ain't months in my book.

Back when I did drafting if the engineers didn't give me a job number I would put sweet FA in the job number field.  When they asked me about it I would say it means nothing, it doesn't exist, it's British slang.  Sometimes they would tell me to take it off.  I would say I will as soon as you give me a job number.  I had to be a hard ass because I needed the job number for my time report.

I never told them what FA stood for.  Ha ha.
