http://www.birdsworth.com 10 Latest Birdsworth Comics en-us http://www.birdsworth.com/daily.php?date=070907 Print #168 - Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted a Birdsworth. I'm always MEANING to, but always having difficulty finding the time and energy to do it. Tonight I got inspired while reading my daily webcomics and decided to not only put up a comic, but also try to explain the gap within the continuity of the comic without coming off too cheesy, and wrap up the storyline I left dangling while I was at it. And while the strip is far from a masterpiece, I think it's at least servicable. It'll take me a few strips to get back into the groove. Assuming, of course, that I start updating on a regular basis again. Which is always dicey. I'd love to have a Birdsworth up every day, without fail, but given my schedule I'd have to be working with at least a week-long buffer to do that and have the resolve to keep that week-long buffer up, rather than just riding put the buffer strips and then coming back to writing strips at midnight before I go to bed again. We'll see what happens. 09/07/2007 http://www.birdsworth.com/daily.php?date=070504 Print #167 - Looks like Birdsworth is up to his old tricks. We had a whole week on concept bands once before, didn't we? The schedule got wonky this week because Wednesday's comic didn't go up on schedule when my automatic updater hiccuped, but this marks the third of a three comic week. See ya next week, unless I get inspired to do a special for Online Comics Day 2007 on Saturday. But most likely I'll spend that time making a comic or two for next week instead. 05/04/2007 http://www.birdsworth.com/daily.php?date=070502 Print #166 - Doesn't it just bother you when you've got a song stuck in your head, and you just don't know more than a few bars? It bothers me immensely. By the way, the song Birdsworth is singing in the first panel is called "Someone Else's Arms" by Mae, a song I frequently get stuck in my head but can never remember the words to. The lyrics in the last panel are from Fatboy Slim's Star 69, a song which makes incredibly ubiquitous use of the f-bomb. 05/02/2007 http://www.birdsworth.com/daily.php?date=070430 Print #165 - And now I've passed the poison on to you. Enjoy singing Achy Breaky Heart for the rest of the day. So! I have a full time job now, and my college life is officially over. This means NEW CONSTRAINTS ON TIME. Fortunately, I think I've found a solution. It took me a couple weeks to sort out my schedule, but now it's become clear that I have completely free time for Birdsworthing every Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon, and every other Friday morning and early afternoon. So my plan is to take these free times, and write as many Birdsworths as I can, all in a row, and then post them all up the following week in a schedule according to how many I was able to get done. This means Birdsworth may not update every day, but at least you're guaranteed that it will update at least a few times every week, and if I find myself with free time in the week, I may just write up a few more. Let's see if this can keep me more consistently updating! 04/30/2007 http://www.birdsworth.com/daily.php?date=070414 Print #164 - Ok, I'm cutting the serial killer storyline short because all the ideas I was coming up with were kind of morbid and kinda sat on the border between "this guy is kind of creepy" and "this guy is kind of a jerk for making fun of tragedies". Fallacious logic though... man I've gotta do a week on that sometime. So much good stuff there. 04/14/2007 http://www.birdsworth.com/daily.php?date=070327 Print #163 - *cough* Ok, I'm going to stop making excuses and trying to justify missed updates on Birdsworth. It is what it is. I have a busy life, and as much as I enjoy Birdsworth, sometimes I just don't have the time to update it. So I'm going to try to update as frequently as possible, but if it doesn't get done, it doesn't get done. I suggest subsribing to one of the webcomic bookmarking services out there, or tracking the RSS feed, to stay updated. Unless, you know, you really like visiting every day in hopes of an update. Then more power to you. 03/27/2007 http://www.birdsworth.com/daily.php?date=070312 Print #162 - Ok, so this week's going to be kind of weird since I have friends and family coming in and out of town, and I myself will be going out of town for a couple of days. But I'm still going to try to get up seven comics, so you'll probably see some backdating, with multiple comics posted some days (like today, hopefully, covering Monday and Tuesday) and some days nothing coming up. So bear with me. Man, I really need to get that buffer back. 03/12/2007 http://www.birdsworth.com/daily.php?date=070311 Print #161 - Hartley Coleridge was in fact the son of the famous Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and while he hasn't quite gained the worldwide fame and popularity of his father in the years after his death, he was a servicable poet in his own right, and as evidenced by this poem had a lot of respect for his dad, which is about the best a father could hope for, I suppose. All I want to know is, what woman puts up with being called a "poor elf"? I mean, seriously, Hartley, you might have wanted to rethink that one a bit. 03/11/2007 http://www.birdsworth.com/daily.php?date=070308 Print #160 - Seriously. Try telling a doctor how you broke your arm some time, he'll laugh it off, but if you look right into his eyes, he'll totally have this look of disdain for your life choices. I have seen it. And it is there. Even better though is when you have to tell a doctor you specifically didn't do what he asked you to. Like, he asked you to lose weight, or get some bloodwork or something, and you totally blew him off, and now you're in his office again and he's all "why did you gain 10 pounds" and you've gotta make up some lame excuse, but the whole time he's sitting there looking at you like you've made it your personal mission in life to sabotage his hard-fought efforts to keep you alive. Oh man, it's great. 03/08/2007 http://www.birdsworth.com/daily.php?date=070307 Print #159 - For those of you that don't remember Blake, you'd do well to refresh yourself by reading this storyline. Also, El Gordo y La Flaca is actually a real show, which does come on the Spanish channel (or Univision, if you have multiple Spanish channels in your area) alot. I actually used to watch it from time to time when I was in high school. It's kind of like a Spanish language version of Entertainment Tonight. 03/07/2007
