I would feel most comfortable with an avian furry pilot because they just get it.

Recap: The Non-Adventures of Wonderella has been back after a five-year hiatus. Rita's Wonderella now. Dana caused a global pandemic and got cancelled. Everything else is as dumb as before. I update when I can. First return strip: nonadventures.com/2025/01/02/u...

Comic panel showing a frosted, icy window from inside a cryo-freeze chamber. Through the fogged glass, Dana — a woman with dark hair and a tiara, wearing a green top — waves excitedly with both hands. Speech bubble: 'Good news, Ma!' Second bubble: 'We finally found a cure for your ligma!'"

Panel 2:
"The cryo chamber door bursts open. Titania, an older woman with silver hair, a red spiked tiara, and grey armored superhero costume, dramatically grips the open hatch overhead. She says, 'Don't be silly, darling.' Rita, standing beside her in a green top, replies, 'You know these five-year cryofreezes do wonders on my buccal fat.'"

I think this is also the first time we've ever heard Rita's last name, btw. Rita has always partly been a riff on Etta Candy, but the last name never came up.

This one features the Fulcrum of Time and Space, a character I created on this date 25 years ago for my prior comic, Killroy and Tina. Killroy carried over to Wonderella right away, but this is the first time The Fulcrum has.

It's been a minute, but I have a new comic up. nonadventures.com

A woman in a purple hooded cloak and red eyes emerges from a dark portal, holding a staff with a golden blade and stating, "Very astute, Rita Sweets. This tree does not belong here." On the right, a smiling Rita points toward her and says, "You're new!"

I’m next to a courthouse and there’s a coffee shop in it so I get coffee there sometimes. I told them they should rename themselves “Grounds For Dismissal” and they said no.

Earlier this year I planned a comic where Wonderella breaks immigrants out of ICE detention, then realized Dana already did this in 2019. nonadventures.com/2019/06/29/c...

A comic panel featuring Wonderella and a young boy standing in front of a brick wall with a large, cape-shaped hole smashed through it.

The boy points at the hole and speaks in Spanish: "¿Por qué tu capa hizo un hueco en la pared, Wonderella?" (Why did your cape make a hole in the wall, Wonderella?) and "Eso no tiene sentido." (That doesn't make sense.)

Wonderella has her hand on his shoulder and responds in English: "That’s right, kid." and "I'm an immigrant, too."

To show I do not have precognition based on that last post: RPGs are now something people do on first dates. What a difference 20 years makes.

Going though old comics and realized a 2007 comic depicted George Lucas as "80% CGI and 20% owned by Disney," not realizing what would happen in the coming decade.

A comic featuring George Lucas becoming a CGI Falcor that Wonderella rides (non-sexual).

Those “Jerk Alexa” commercials remind me that I tried to set up a Dana Price AI persona about a year ago, just out of curiosity. The bot never answered any questions and was generally annoyed at having to chat with me.

I actually went about six months thinking Trump Derangement Syndrome was Trump doing deranged things like ranting about sharks to the press, because that always made more sense than the way they actually use it.

Heads up to everyone avoiding their family this weekend: Wonderella recently updated.

Hot take: Calling a restaurant "California Pizza Kitchen" is like saying "North Dakota Taco Truck." There are a lot of great foods here, but pizza is the saddest trombone in this band.

Would I use AI if I had good ideas? No. Is using AI making me dumber? Yes. Let's skip the sugar coating and save like 300 trees.

The worst thing about AI (aside from the job losses, resource depletion and power grid havoc) is the cloying "That's a great idea - nice suggestion!" replies. My ideas are bad and I know they're bad! Don't gaslight me.

Hey thanks! I have started to work up a Patreon with the pages at higher resolution and a bit of commentary on each. With 500+ pages and Patreon’s super clunky posting setup, it’s a slow process and I don’t want to charge people till I have it up!

Sure! I’m doing one every few weeks though, so it may take a bit to get there. But they’re twice as long as they usually were so maybe it’ll balance out!

Also, finding an alternate place doesn't make this weird online "sanitizing" effort correct - it's pretty clearly a business tactic kowtowing to political leadership that wants to block free speech. But it's a good reminder that any online platform will cave with minimal pressure.

When I restarted Wonderella, I thought of asking @jrconlin.mindof.jrconlin.com.ap.brid.gy whether it was worth even having a website, vs just posting the art on social like everyone else. But it's pretty clear now that anything with even a *whiff* of controversy online needs its own home base.

I don't like news-posting, but a lot of the stuff on social media about the "radical left" is actually Russian-backed troll farms. Don't engage with this stuff, don't quote-post it, don't screenshot post it; just block.

Also fixed the sizing on the last couple of comics! The taller comics were confusing my render settings but now everything is 100% better with absolutely no downside.

Thing I love about carbon steel pans is they’re lighter than cast iron but come with the same crippling paranoia that you’ll ruin them with every use.
