I meant to be soooo productive over the holiday period, I really did. Suffice to say I didn’t really get very much done at all - in truth, I read an awful lot of webcomic archives, which makes the above item all the more humorously ironic from my personal perspective. Still, no loss; I guess I needed a rest.

He seems to have drifted away from the Too Much Coffee Man character recently, but he’s still knocking out great work. Why not go look, then subscribe to the RSS feed?

Hope you all had a good holiday yourselves!
