The end of 2007

I've drawn a bear in an ill-fitting hat, just in time to get it out of my system before it officially becomes a meme, as predicted by the splendiferous Wondermark.

Also: it's time to say goodbye to 2007, I guess.
Hey 2007! I'm leaving. You were a disappointing year. In fact, you were terrible. Good riddance, don't call me. I'm with 2008 now.

A tablet

I received a graphics tablet (Wacom Bamboo Fun small) for Christmas. After a little practice with it I am capable of producing images that look like they were made by a sixth-grader. This is a nice change, as most of my images look like they were made by a third-grader. Clearly, this is conclusive evidence that expensive electronics are worth at least three years' of practice drawing.

Clay

They had modeling clay in my college's recreational center today.
(warning: I'm too lazy to make the full-size images a decent file size)

I left this sitting on the countertop there. Toast is obvious; long-time fans of mine will recognize the other two characters. The blobby thing on the right is supposed to be the C&T logo but making two-dimensional imagery with clay is hard when one's only cutting tool is a random safety pin that was lying around.

Meaning for the Masses

Looks like I'm going to end up with ~~two~~ one comics for this week ~~(the second is yet to be posted)~~ so in lieu of the second and third, I made this device, which is calculated to increase the meaningfulness of your average day by at least 14%. For those who wish to add a little significance to the events in their lives but lack the imagination to do so on their own, my significizer will take a name and an object and assign a meaning to that object. Handing it "ezrast" with "church bells" or "Toast" with "train whistles" will produce appropriate output. Go try it and sing to the world of your new symbols of whatever.
