Also nobody believes you.  So it's just best to either just keep that one under you several simultaneously-worn hats or stagger around near the bus station mumbling under your breath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another week, another beak!

Here's a link to the &lt;a href="http://www.wigu.com/overcompensating/2005/01/inter-nets.html"&gt;first G0D comic&lt;/a&gt;, and there's been at least two since then.   Thanks to our beloved interwub, I have seen photographs of fetishes I cannot even begin to figure out.  It's like if the Age of Enlightenment was a passed-out, naked college guy with a stenciled images of mutliated genitals spray-painted onto his beet-red, bare buttocks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://wigu.com/missile-crisis/"&gt;&lt;I&gt;Wigu:  The Case of the Missile Crisis&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/A&gt; is now free to view and hard to forget, even without the bonus features.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/mccloudtour/"&gt;McCloud tour rolls on&lt;/a&gt;, and it looks like FUN.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;</content>

I have completed comics involving such topics as obesity, the afterlife, and Lindsay Lohan's vagina so strap on your strap-on-ables, because it's gonna be a rough ride.  Good news for everyone -- I think we've located the files for &lt;I&gt;Wigu Volume One&lt;/I&gt; &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; more work is underway on the next &lt;I&gt;Wigu &lt;/I&gt;volume and the &lt;I&gt;The Unicorn Diaries: A Dangerous Obsession&lt;/I&gt; (the first &lt;I&gt;Overcompensating &lt;/I&gt;book).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;This weekend may involve &lt;A HREF="http://dumbrella.com"&gt;Dumbrella&lt;/A&gt; gathering in Northampton, MA as &lt;A HREF="http://tcimh.com"&gt;Dr. Vampire&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A HREF="http://scarygoround.com"&gt;The Englishman&lt;/A&gt; are on their way up from New York.  Add a little freshly-soldout &lt;A HREF="http://clango.org"&gt;Poopmonster&lt;/A&gt; to the mix and you've got yourself a public restroom sink-full of Hot Man-Stew. &lt;/strike&gt;  edit:  This is not going to happen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, to wrap things up on a cheery note, if you're an American who pays income tax you might find &lt;a href="http://www.thebudgetgraph.com/view.html"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; very insightful.  Think $3 a gallon for gasoline is bad?  You're also buying gas for &lt;i&gt;classified fighter jets&lt;/i&gt;.  &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;</content>
