Ataraxia Theatre

Much Like A Cartoonist I Could Mention

Had a candy accident with a group of high school students today. My aunt brought over some Halloween goodies for us, so I brought some in to share with my class. How was I supposed to know when they said “Extreme Sour” that it wasn’t just marketing hype? At least this is one Canadian culture lesson they are unlikely to forget.

My family has arrived in Korea, safe and sound. The boy was so happy that he broke out the accordion and danced a jig. I’m not joking about that, by the way- he really did.

I’m going to be attending the Comic World convention in Seoul on February 12th. If you’re in the area drop by.

Trigger Warning

It was while inking this strip that I first realized this storyline might be problematic. For some readers, getting drugged by a person you thought you could trust isn’t just something that happens in stories. These comics are meant to be a fun escape from real life, not a highlight reel of the worst bits.

Happy birthday to Bill Griffith!

To Family

Today is International Blackout Day in protest of SOPA/PIPA. I support the protest but will not be blacking out Ataraxia Theatre, on account of the fact that I’ve missed so many updates lately that nobody would really notice. Some cartoonists have taken to alternate forms of protest. Unfortunately I am out of rum. This is a problem I hope to correct soon.

The Purpose

I’ve got a cartoon up at The Thoughtful Animal over at Scientific American Blogs today. The article it goes with is a thorough explanation of classical conditioning. Be sure to pass the link around to every intro psych student you know.

In The Dark

Sorry for the delay. This past week has been super busy- applying for jobs, doing job interviews, taking care of a sick child and a sick me… On the plus side it now looks like everything is settled up. Hopefully. I’ll keep you posted.
