Like Martin Scorsese's "After Hours," "Freak Weather" is the story of an accidental journey, a thwarted attempt to return home that turns into a voyage of self-knowledge.

I apologize for the neglect that I've had for this site these past two days. I've been a bit preoccupied with moving my entire life from one place to another (from an apartment to a house) - mostly by myself.

Tycho: Some of you have probably already heard it, since I put it up yesterday - but we're trying new hosting for the podcast, and I wanted to make sure everything made sense before I dropped it on the front page. The podcast is for Wednesday's strip, "The Ungift, Part Two." You can download it here, or subscribe to the feed here. The levels are a little crazy in a couple spots, for which I apologize. I think we've got those ironed out, now. (CW)TB

I recently moved from a small apartment in Oakland to a new house in Sacramento. The cat and I are adjusting quite well, thank you, though for about one month, I was without a kitchen. Or a water heater. Or downstairs flooring. It may not have been the best-laid renovation plan.

Okay, I&#8217;m sorry. I just had to comment. This was such a fun strip to draw. I&#8217;m going to allow myself to savor how bad-ass it is before I descend into my normal bag of insecurities and start finding all the mistakes. I&#8217;ll hate it by year&#8217;s end, but today I feel like a cartooning [...]

The Arachno Terrorists  I dropped Rick off at his farm house. Being late summer he slept out on the back porch where it is nice and cool. I told him I would pick him up in the morning.    The next day I went to pick him up to take him to work. He greets me at the front door wearing cutoffs and a shirt.    "What the hell happened to you last night??" I asked looking at his legs.    His legs are covered with dozens of ugly tiny red marks about the size of an average zit.    "I need to go to the hospital. I am not feeling so good." he tells me.    "A nest of fiddlebacks got in bed with me last night. I was gangbanged."    "Oh my gawd..." I say in horror.    He was bitten in the classic way; in a bed, in a dark, dry area, in Oklahoma. Just over a week later those bites became large open sores, that if left untreated would look much like this. WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPH.

A lot has happened in the other world since Friday. That would be the world outside of Florida. Maybe by sometime today, this area and this state will get back to feeling more like part of that world.
