This week's clip art preview:

UU Goofus and Gallant

The context for this cartoon:

http://aperfectworld.blogspot.com/2009/03/actually-read-uu-world.html

I try to be UU Gallant but sometimes, unintentionally, I behave like UU Goofus.

I might try a hidden chalices drawing sometime.

Caption Contest

A cartoon drawn using CorelDraw. Now I need some dialogue or a caption.

My self-esteem has been a bit high lately so I need to be brought down a notch. Therefore, I am holding a caption contest. No one will respond and I will be reminded how few people actually read this blog.

The "winning" caption will receive credit when this cartoon is uploaded to aperfectworld.org and if they are willing to send a mailing address, a random item from my house. Seriously, I will pack an item from my home into a box or envelope and mail it to the winner. I will ship to addresses outside the United States. The item will weigh less than a pound and be of uncertain use and value. I can guarantee that it will have some dust on it, which I will leave on as a bonus.

I put quotation marks around winning because no one will respond.

Yes, this is blatant comment whoring.

The contest closes whenever this entry no longer appears on the first page or if I think of something funny for the above cartoon.

Wednesday's Cartoon

Another non-gag. Not really a cartoon. The season was affecting me along with some news. Sort of looks like Martian Manhunter but he does not have a nose.

I'm on hold with Ipower technical support in an attempt to resolve my inability to access my files. My files are on an old platform that very few customers still use. So far the results of attempts to solve the problem lead me to a page with the message that says:

"Your Account Is Not Yet on the New Platform

You are trying to access something that is only available on the new hosting platform. For more information, or to manage your account on the original platform, visit the Transition Kiosk."

I'm told that things will be much easier once my site is on the new platform. I would have more patience with this transition if I were informed of when my site will transfer.

Tuesday's Cartoon

I drew this on Halloween before I received the call from Walter about his father. A cute little girl with black holes instead of eyes gives the creepy man the creeps. No real gag just some humorous illustration that reflected my mood at the moment.

Monday's Cartoon

Apply directly to the forehead.

How would one apply indirectly to the forehead?

Friday's Cartoon

I got the pattern from one my 1971 Sears catalog pages.

I finished reading Star Trek: Titan - The Sword of Damocles. Good book, mentally challenging in some places.

I will skip the "Black Friday" stuff but I still need to go out and run some errands. Errands that will keep me far away from shopping centers. I refuse to get up at the butt crack of dawn on my day off so I should miss most of the consumerism.

I don't get into the holiday spirit until Radio M*A*S*H

Thursday's Cartoon

Have a happy Thanksgiving or at least a minimal amount of bloodshed, no involvement with the authorities Thanksgiving.

Wednesday's Cartoon

If you like talk like this after you are like over 30 years old then like maybe you should see like a therapist or something or just like beat yourself about the head because that is like what everyone who has to like listen to you talk wants to do. Like no one will take you like seriously like anywhere if you still talk like a 15 year old girl. Like shut the @#$%! up! Like ugh whatever!

Tuesday's Cartoon

I know, today is Monday. Monday evening. I post new cartoons in the evening.

Monday's Cartoon

I decided to post new cartoons on the blog until the mess with my web host reaches a resolution. It seems that Ipower has more business than it can handle. I don't care about the transition process I just want to update my website.

I will take that approach with my next call to technical support. Help me find a way to update my website while you take care of this transition business. I guess I will need to become more assertive by refusing to hang up until I can access my files on their servers. Perhaps at least find out the transition status and see if I can wait it out.

If I receive no resolution or updated information by the end of the month then I will find a new host. Irritating customers is one method of bringing business down to a more manageable level but probably not one recommended by the experts.

aperfectworld.org is down

I am receiving a 403 Forbidden when I visit aperfectworld.org. I cannot FTP either. I'll give it another 24 hours before I call IPower. For those do not access the blog via the website, today's cartoon:
Maybe I need a vacation from cartoons for a while.
