Carciphona is a fantasy manga, written, drawn, and self-published by Shilin. Currently, at volume 8, updates are posted once a week on Mondays with 2 pages.

This is a truly beautiful bit of art. I admit to reading it mostly because I enjoy the art. The story is not bad, Just I find the art more of a draw.

Today’s comic is a Kaiju experience: https://www.neomonsterisland.com

This one is a twisted Kaiju theater. It has a really twisted sense of humor. It is funny but it often is not right. I am not sure how often it updates, but I have yet to not enjoy an update.

Today’s comic is a true Geek playground: https://xkcd.com

It is heavy in math and geekdom. The art Is mostly stick figures…but it is heavy in geek humor and smarts. I am not entirely sure how often it posts (I have never been able to get caught up through the archives on this one.) I think it is about every three days or so?

This one, there are times that it will be over my head…I guess I am just not smart enough for some of the jokes. The ones I do get are hilarious. I feel like it is okay not to get all the jokes on a comic if you enjoy some of them.

Today’s comic is a sweet little Zombie comic..http://deadwinter.cc

It updates from what I can see about every two weeks. The characters are interesting and the art is amazing. It’s mostly black and white with small bits of red occasionally thrown in for emphasis. It has been going since 2007 and seems to still have a decent story worth reading.

It doesn’t get really Gorey so I think even non-zombie readers could enjoy this comic.

Today’s comic is a sweet little furry comic…https://www.sdamned.com

It is updated usually once a week (Everyone has bad weeks…) I am still working on catching up on this one (I sort of got too caught up in life to keep up with my comics so I have to catch up on most of the ones I follow)

This Comic has a rich and well-written history. The art has been improving since it was started, but it has a softer edge to it, making it feel more like the person drawing it is not focusing completely on perfection instead focusing on the story. I like that if I am honest. Thought has obviously gone into the characters.

I think it is a fun comic. there is a lot of archives, but the comic is a fairly easy to read one so getting caught up should not take a huge amount of time.

I decided that I needed to change things a little. I am growing complacent on my blog, and that makes it no fun for me. I will start doing Webcomic Wednesday every week and take Thursday to talk about art/Share art (Artsy Fartsy Thursday). I will move my occasional Tea Party posts to Saturday.

Now I have at one point or another had over a hundred webcomics I followed. The update schedule varies between daily to whenever the artist remembers…I still have links to several comics that have ended because I enjoyed them so much. (I.E. https://www.girlswithslingshots.com & http://yume.rosalarian.com/archive/ ) I cried when they ended. And I have fallen behind periodically in my reading of the updates, only to revisit and start the arduous process of getting caught up all over again. I love the idea that the comics are waiting for me when I am able to come back to them.

Today I want to introduce you to one that has evolved quite well into one of my faves. https://www.goblinscomic.com is a really cute comic based on the idea of the monsters in an RPG and their ability to become PCs. The humor is on target, and the art is fun. Rich characters that are fun to read.

Lyrics-
“L’il Red Riding Hood”
(originally by Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs)

Hey there little red riding hood
You sure are looking good
You’re everything a big bad wolf could want

Little red riding hood
I don’t think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone

What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
Just to see that you don’t get chased
I think I oughta walk with you for a ways

What full lips you have
They’re sure to lure someone bad
So until you get to Grandma’s place
I think you oughta walk with me and be safe

Gonna keep my sheep suit on
‘Til I’m sure that you’ve been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone

Little red riding hood
I’d like to hold you if I could
But you might think I’m a big bad wolf so I won’t

What a big heart I have
The better to love you with
Little red riding hood
Even bad wolves can be good

I try to keep satisfied
Just to walk close by your side
Maybe you’ll see things my way
‘Fore we get to Grandma’s place

Little red riding hood
You sure are looking good
You’re everything a big bad wolf could want

Little red riding hood
I don’t think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone

What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
Just to see that you don’t get chased
I think I oughta walk with you for a ways

What full lips you have
They’re sure to lure someone bad
So until you get to Grandma’s place
I think you oughta walk with me and be safe

My 2 Cents-
I know I have posted the song before. It is a favorite of mine. I felt like it is whimsical enough to bring a smile. I want to create smiles.

Apocalypse absurdity

Hello Friends. Serena Here. I know that Miss Mouse is busy…so I am taking over long enough to make a exciting announcement. About a month ago, During the whole push for Nightmare Whispers… I saw this….

I was terribly inspired. I couldn’t help but try to get in. And I succeeded. I plan on popping on here as I get information and sharing the tidbits with you. This story was so fun, the rest of the anthology can’t help but be fun as well. Stay tuned!

Don’t threaten me with a good time – Panic! At the Disco

Lyrics – Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright, it’s a hell of a feeling though
It’s a hell of a feeling though
Alright, alright, it’s a hell of a feeling though
It’s a hell of a feeling though
Who are these people?
I just woke up in my underwear
No liquor left on the shelf
I should probably introduce myself
You shoulda’ seen what I wore
I had a cane and a party hat
I was the king of this hologram
Where there’s no such thing as getting out of hand
Memories tend to just pop up
Drunk pre-meds and some rubber gloves
Five-thousand people with designer drugs
Don’t think I’ll ever get enough (don’t think I’ll ever get enough)
Champagne, cocaine, gasoline
And most things in between
I roam the city in a shopping cart
A pack of camels and a smoke alarm
This night is heating up
Raise hell and turn it up
Saying “If you go out you might pass out in a drain pipe”
Oh yeah, don’t threaten me with a good time
It’s a hell of a feeling though
It’s a hell of a feeling though
Alright, alright
It’s a hell of a feeling though
It’s a hell of a feeling though
What are these footprints?
They don’t look very human like
Now I wish that I could find my clothes
Bedsheets and a morning rose
I wanna wake up
Can’t even tell if this is a dream
How did we end up in my neighbors pool
Upside down with a perfect view?
Bar to bar at the speed of sound
Fancy feet dancing through this town
Lost my mind in a wedding gown
Don’t think I’ll ever get it now
(Don’t think I’ll ever get it now)
Champagne, cocaine, gasoline
And most things in between
I roam the city in a shopping cart
A pack of camels and a smoke alarm
This night is heating up
Raise hell and turn it up
Saying “If you go out you might pass out in a drain pipe
Oh yeah, don’t threaten me with a good time
I’m a scholar and a gentleman
And I usually don’t fall when I try to stand
I lost a bet to a guy in a Chiffon skirt
But I make these high heels work
I’ve told you time and time again
I’m not as think as you drunk I am
And we all fell down when the sun came up
I think we’ve had enough
Alright, alright, it’s a hell of a feeling though
It’s a hell of a feeling though
Alright, alright, it’s a hell of a feeling though
It’s a hell of a feeling though
Champagne, cocaine, gasoline
And most things in between
I roam the city in a shopping cart
A pack of camels and a smoke alarm
This night is heating up
Raise hell and turn it up
Saying “If you go out you might pass out in a drain pipe”
Oh yeah, don’t threaten me with a good time

My 2 cents – well I think that I might have shared this before, but I am covered over with work and feel the need for a good time… Lol. The video and song are both fun.

My Recommendations for Educational YouTube channels

This is in no true order. They are straight from my subscription list.

There is definitely channels that I am unaware of. And I have far more than this… But I was limiting the choices to more learning based channels. If you want to add…. Comment them so others have access.
