Payback

Chapter:

Back at the beginning of the new millenium at the 8 am mass, my priest was enthusiastically talking about the movie, “Pay It Forward (2000)” and how it was such a good, inspiring movie that truly showed how much good deeds mattered.

Except, he didn’t call it that. He misspoke and called it “Payback (1999)” or the Mel Gibson movie, which dealt with vengeance.

Later, in the noon mass, he sheepishly admitted that his mistake. “So, watch “Pay It Forward” and not “Payback!” he said very firmly.

I think most parents do this at one point or another.

In other news, trebuchets are awesome.

Look at that trebuchet. Isn’t it awesome?

As soon as I learned what a trebuchet was as a child, I tried to make one using K’NEX and blocks. It didn’t work very well, but the dream still lives. One day, I hope that we’re able to build a real trebuchet and use it to fling pumpkins during Halloween.

In the meantime, I will keep playing with blocks. Because, like, my nocturnal toddler needs to learn how to use blocks, right? You only learn through example!

Hi! How are you? It’s been like… more than a month since the comic was last updated. Yeah. So. Um. How have things been going? Hopefully good?

Anyway! For those of you scratching your head at this comic because golf eludes you, an eagle is a pretty awesome shot to make. Not as good as a hole-in-one, but pretty awesome nonetheless.

Don’t worry… I know how hard it is being you because I wore a “you” suit with stilts.

What can I say? I’m a bit short.

I would like to dedicate this comic to my fellow writer, unofficial linguist, pervayor of all things Aggie, favorite animal shelter volunteer, and In-N-Out compadre, Becca. You deserve more than a cheesy comic with a terrible punchline. But alas. Sometimes we get what we don’t deserve.

Also: I’m sorry.

Moth and Myth 2016

Chapter:

You gotta start off with “My Fellow Americans.” It’s a rule, or something.

For anyone who is wondering, both Moth and Myth are old enough to run for office. True, they might only be five human years old, but that’s 380 lepidoptera years old. Making them the clear candidates for the experience that we need to make America great.

The Elephant in the Room

Chapter:

And… it’s Sanctimonial Sunday again!

One of the most popular explanations of God actually revolves around an elephant. There’s an elephant in the room and you have several blind people who are forced to be in one spot examining, from their vantage point, what the elephant is like. One blind person feels the snout and declares that an elephant is like a long vacuum hose with a pig snout. Another one by the legs says that it’s like a tree trunk. The other one feels the bristly tail and declares that an elephant is like a paintbrush. So, they argue, from their own particular vantage point, about what the elephant is truly like.

Of course, we having sight, know that an elephant is much bigger than that and that, while it contains several of those aspects, that’s not what an elephant is. An elephant is something greater than all those individual attributes. It’s… an elephant. Of course, this is a bad definition, but it is quite individual in its existence.

Same with God. It’s really hard to tell, with our vantage point and stuck in our position in which time is a real thing that moves in real ways, what God must be like, for He doesn’t have that problem. He exists in eternity and we do not. How can we shift our paradigm to really understand God?

But yet, we know that one day, we will see. Just as He promised, the blind will see, so we too will be able to understand and know God. And this is a blessing.

The Fifth

Aug28

Chapter:

One of my Canadian friends asked me if she could ask me about some of the oddities of the American language. I said sure. Then she asked, rather sheepishly, what “taking the fifth” meant.

“Do Americans eat cake when they take the fifth, or is it something else?”

Ah… I can only wish! The fifth amendment goes as follows:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Still, what a lovely image! Part of me wants to smile at the imagery of Americans eating cake, and another part of me wants to cry because there are probably tons of Americans who don’t have the knowledge of the American constitution to really understand what this phrase means.

No, seriously, he’s STARING AT YOU.

On another note which may or may not be from personal experience, bugs coming in a house is pretty terrible for several reasons, but bats coming in is even more annoying. Did you know that they poop while they are flying, and thus you get to clean off poop from the walls?

Ah, nature!
