Yet another rich, brilliant moment from our scintillating life. It’s for sale too, if you can believe that, at our Store.

Good news: Our book Weather is finally officially for sale at the store! And we got more Monsters for sale as well!

ALSO: in a few days we’re going to start a new section of the Playhouse to put original art from Monsters & Welcome to The Dahlhouse on the auction block. If there’s any pages in particular you’d like to see for sale, please let us know in the comments below. (It doesn’t mean you have to buy it if you do suggest some — we’re just curious, & don’t have enough interns to scan & post every page in the books.) Disclaimer: not every original page is intact on paper; some of them had to be heavily photoshopped & look like pathetic, deformed abominations “IRL.” But we’ll see what we can dig up.

We er, SOMEONE WE KNOW drew these for the WFMU website, we’re pretty sure they’re up there now? It’s been a while. Anyway, enjoy. They’ll be for sale in the store.

Technically it goes into 2/2/13 but who’s counting.

It really happened! Sort of. Mostly. OK the sled was actually lime green. And she went down second. And the floor at the urgent-care center was actually a browner, slightly less-shiny fake wood.

Not pictured: two broken lumbar vertebrae & a busted disc. Stay in school kids

PS: as usual, this thing’s for sale.

Upon a recent evening we accompanied a homeowning neighbor down to Ye Olde Local Bureaucracy, to (non-)participate in some Democracy (and skew a vote on Section-8 housing) (which never happened). It was about what you’d expect — a nice reminder of why we no longer dungeon-crawl the supercilious kabuki farce of municipal politics. Or go outside at all, really.

By the way, those are all actual quotes from an actual meeting, spoken by “actual” people. The original watercolor is available in the store..
