I have to apologize for this strip but not for the reasons you might thing. Yesterday (Sunday), I tried to broadcast my creation of this strip via Livestream but, unfortunately, what I thought was a brilliant idea turned out to be anything but.
You see, I have one of the older Mac iCams – the ones that came in a plastic tube and you hooked up to the top of your laptop or Mac before it became standard to have built in cams on every Mac. Likewise, I have an iMac with a built in iCam. Both versions offer advantages and disadvantages in terms of creating video for the web.
The old iCam is portable but doesn’t have any way you can set it on a tri-pod. The iCam on my computer works great but because it’s built in to the computer – and due to the fact it sits next to my drawing table – I can’t easily record my drawing table using the built-in iCam.
But today, I thought I had a brilliant idea. I thought I’d take the portable iCam and attach it to one of my baseball hats so you could watch me draw from my own perspective. After going through a bunch of ideas on ways to attach the iCam to my hat, I finally came up with the idea solution. Rubber bands!
So I fastened the iCam to the brim of my cap with rubber bands and started to draw. But for those that decided to check out my link on Facebook or Twitter, you realize how much of a bad idea this was. I couldn’t really concentrate on what I was doing and I had a terrible time trying to see if I was actually recording anything correctly.
It was basically a huge experiment gone horribly wrong. But fortunately, I didn’t turn into some sort of huge, green monster though so everything’s okay. I’ll just have to either record the videos in advance (instead of LIVE) or figure something else out altogether.
Oh, and as far as the movie “The Wolfman” goes, I will have a critique of the movie here later on today (Monday) or later on in the week. But suffice to say I liked the movie quite a deal. It was a good theatrical movie but some might find it a bit slow movie at first.
That’s all for now. Tune in to the more in-depth post about “The Wolfman” later.
IN OTHER NEWS:
My friend Ben (@tovias on Twitter) posted THIS picture of himself on Twitpic and I couldn’t resist posting it here – especially since my wife came up with the saying while I came up with the design:

Roy would think that, wouldn’t he?
Now, in fair of full disclosure, I have not yet seen “The Wolfman” yet so if there actually is a line of dialog in the movie that says “Run! It’s a Wolfman!”, then I apologize in advance for the possible spoiler this may cause you – but they way I figure it, if you’re going to see a movie called “The Wolfman”, you should expect at least two things:
1) The main character will BECOME a werewolf and
2) He will chase someone
So, I think I’m fairly safe from any type of potential spoiler on this one. My wife are hoping to catch the movie this coming Friday.

UPDATED POST:
Thanks everyone for having patience as I finished today’s comic strip before 12 midnight. As many of you have heard, the east coast of the US has been blanketed with 30+ inches of snow. As such, it’s been a crazy weekend trying to get shoveled out of my driveway so we have at least one car to either get to work or get more groceries.
Added to that, I had a couple of freelance projects come my way – all due within the week – so the only way to get them done was by working on them while all the snow came down. Unfortunately, when you don’t have the mythical thing called a buffer, you end up having to try and rush to get the strip done and posted before midnight. That’s been the case with this strip.
But now that all of my freelance responsibilities are complete, I can hopefully get back on track with the strip again. That is, if the 12 – 16″ inches of ADDITIONAL snow they are calling for tomorrow or Wednesday doesn’t completely know all of our power – or internet connection – out.
Here’s to my crossed fingers!

But due to all the crazy snow we had this weekend – and a couple of paying freelance projects, I had to put the strip off for this weekend – just not enough time in the day, you know?
Today’s strip will be posted tomorrow (Tuesday) instead.
Sorry for the inconvenience, everybody.
