FYI, the Northern Pyre website will be funky for a while while everything ports over to WordPress. It's going to be so much better.

First iteration of "just stuff me in a pipe" is going well. #makeaterriblecomicday

Ink showing abstraction of corpse inside of a pipe. Poem on pipe has most of the writing scratched out. "Usefulness is guilt" is legible.

Squarespace finally has a donation plug-in so I added that in a couple places while updating tax docs. Still not happy with the index page.

I've decided to make myself mad by reading pyre articles specifically written by the funeral industry. There's a lot of misinformation to cover.

Solicitors who: 1. Visit the NP website, 2. Click on Contact Us, 3. Read that we don't engage with solicitors, 4. Still submit their pitch, and THEN 5. Refuse to be added to our mailing list Are rude twerps and I don't like them.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

I don't know why I thought the cats would give me grace today. Boo Boo the fool over here.

6am - false start. The orange bastard has decided that I've slept enough. I put him in kitty jail (my office) and go back to sleep. There is another bad kitty waiting for him to leave so she can claim the petting space.

I think I'll take a risk and do Hourly Comic Day this Sunday. Spoiler: I live a quiet life.

One of the pieces in the artbook suggests throwing your bones in the ocean to make a coral reef. It's been one of the trickier concepts to illustrate.

We specifically tell solicitors that they will be blocked if they try to contact us, but some attempt it anyway. Usually with an SEO pitch.

We're also looking at land! If you know of anyone who has 2.5 extra acres hanging around the seven metro counties of Minnesota, hit us up.
