Blogger's Nightmare

Captainsblog_1This cartoon (click the thumbnail for full size popup), sent to me today by Em, appeals in so many ways I can hardly enumerate them: the Trekkie, the blogger, the comic/cartoon fan, the 9-5 grunt, the free speech advocate, the shit-stirrer. Not to mention that it's a geek comic to start with. It's nearly the perfect cartoon.

Blogging_before_911Then there's this one, sent to me by Michelle Levy a while ago, which is laughable because it's just the opposite for me. Not that I'm making any money blogging, mind you, but I love the irony of it.Mangagirlmoi_3
