DAR catch up
Hey Dudes, here are the last 13 comics I've done for DAR.

A couple aren't safe for work and I've tried to remember to include a warning on their preview graphics, but I forgot to put one on "The Best Job" so, y'know, watch out.

I hadn't read "helping hands" before!

It is awesome.

I now have wistful thoughts of having my boobs washed in a shower.

Sometimes, I like to help in return, but the result does not often result in anything getting cleaner.

YES!!! Segway cops are the best!! I haven't seen any police here on Segways, but I did see a Segway gang the other day - like, five or six people all on Segways, cruising at a street corner! It was wonderful.

I saw a gang of THREE Segway cops all together. They were in a V formation, it was so rad.

Huh. I always thought a spitroast was a guy in the mouth, and another at the other end. Learn something new everyday!

Yeah, turns out not only did I mis-hear the name, but my boyfriend had the wrong definition anyway.

EPIC FAIL from both of us.

I don't know if I should go back and edit it so that it says "sPit roast" and has the correct definition, since that wouldn't be the conversation we had...

There are cops on Seaways in Union Station in Chicago (or atleast there was the last time I had a lay over there on my way out east on the Amtrak.) and they are not very good at using them... one almost ran me over...

These are hilarious.

Re:The last one - benzyl peroxide like a charm. I can't recommend it enough. It won't stop you picking your face, but it will significantly reduce the infections and swelling caused by it, and thus the recurring zits.

Also: I used to do the pinching. I moved on to fingernail destruction. This also prevents scratching.

My boyfriend has totally "washed my boobs" while we were taking a shower together.

I feel mysteriously elated to know that this happens elsewhere.

I'm also in the same "Zit Face" boat, bwehhhh.

No, Segway cops is not a Portland thing. I try not to claim anything as a Portland thing because it's embarassing to find out when it's not, especially from someone who tells me they thought it was their city's thing too.

As far as I know, and I looked this stuff up, Portland isn't on the list Segway has on their website of police departments that have contracts with them. A private security firm called Portland Patrol Inc. and run by the Portland Business Alliance (they're hard to distinguish from real police officers because they dress too similarly and also carry guns) does do some of their patrols on bicycles and segways.

I love your comics! They make real life so entertaining.
I used to have trichotilomania too. I pulled my eyelashes out compulsively. I finally got myself to stop by pinching myself REALLY hard whenever i did it. That way the feeling of release was replaced by a feeling of pain, and gradually the desire faded! And now I have eyelashes! Good luck.

Maybe I should try to the reverse; pull out my hair to stop myself from pinching ;)

After reading your zit face comic, I felt so much better. I've been doing a similar thing to my cuticles/fingers for years and never knew why. I assumed I was totally insane and alone. Maybe now I can actually figure out how to stop it. Thank you.

Yeah, i love it when people tell me to "just stop" too. I've had the same pinching/picking problem since i was in middle school. I really enjoyed your comic, it's always helpful to know you're not the only one.

also, i also wanted to say how much i enjoy reading about portland in your comics! I was born and raised there, and became a huge fan of Pants Press Back when Jen Wang was still doing her Strings of Fate comic. I even made it down to Comic Con for the release of Flight Vol. I. I think i met you there and you showed me how to make paper stars?

Then everyone moved to Portland and I went to France. Now I'm in Colorado. But i simply love seeing obscure references to Portland Culture when they pop up in your comics.

Aww well. Keep on Truckin'!

Oh shit, that's awesome!

Yeah, as far as I know, I'm the only one who teaches people how to make stars at comic conventions. It's my shtick, to make people stick around my table and then maybe they will buy something ;)

How long were you in France? I lived in Aix-en-Provence for six months.

We have Segway cops at our school. Then again, Worcester Polytechnic Institute is the college that Dean Kamen deliberately did not graduate from. I think they gave him an honorary degree this past commencement. Fun Fact: Dean Kamen absolutely refuses to drive anywhere and will only travel by Segway or his own personal helicopter.

As a fellow "daytime Art student/nightime Life Model" quite naturally I adore "Life Model" and agree with it entirely!! Yet as a Brit I didn't know a threesome was a spit roast...
