7 minutes, well, more like 6.

I said I would post daily, and only missed one so far.

I refuse to go a day without writing.

I just read the entire archive of a webcomic called "Devils Panties" (here). I found it as a link from a regular webcomic I read called Something Postive (here).

These have become a new trend for me. The nice thing is, you can go back and read the history, and get to know the characters and how they've developed over time.

Mainstream print comics have just the opposite problem. Their characters can't age, and must stay in a relative limbo. Like characters in a sitcom on TV, major events don't have lasting consequences. Things stay pretty much the same all the time, and things are solved in relatively short order.

Unlike real life, where everything you do affects you for the rest of your life.

I know ther is a good example of Stephen Jay Gould's theory of Punctuated Equilibrium, but I'm not sure how. His theory is that for most of the time, things stay pretty much the same, with minor adjustments over long periods of time. Then, to shake things up something major happens, and there is chaos in a relatively short time, geologically speaking, and then thing achieve some sort of system based on the new order of things.


I know, I'm so deep.
