Like Mr. Gumby in the Monty Python sketch: "My brain hurts!" It's summer now. Hard to believe the first day of summer was 10 days ago. And I forgot to tell here I made another comic book issue. I do these to keep myself busy, much like playing and making video games, making music, animation, and other stuff I do. All various projects going all at once because if I don't, I'd be very bored just sitting and watching TV. And besides, there's nothing good on anyway. Yet I have all my DVDs in case I get bored with my projects! So anyway, here is issue 9 of "Bill and George Quarterly." I have been making this comic called Bill and George for the past 22 years. I started with issue 1 in October 1994. I used to make three or four a month, but now I hardly make any. But I am making the quarterly thing. I've been working on drawing for issue 10 now, so that should be out this fall. here's a link to it. It's in pdf format. I don't know how else I would do it and post it on the internet. So now I will do something that requires little thinking so that I can rest my head. I slept for 14 hours last night. Went to bed @ 8pm, woke up @ 10am. The stupid cat woke me up @ about 6am. I was only half asleep for a few hours while the cat was in here bothering me. I was too sleepy to kick the cat out and close the door. I thought I did close the door when I went to sleep, but the cat managed to open it.

Most of today was spent working on (and getting angry at) the Oranges game for Game Gear. Literally a couple hundred attempts at least today. Just little changes. I finally got it the way I want it to be. I made the oranges random like in the Game Boy version. Woke up at about 9am. It's 7:30pm right now and so I spent about 9 or so hours working on this game today, barely doing anything else. I swear, computers have a mind of their own and they disobey me. I tried and tried and couldn't do what I wanted it to until finally it did okay, but the bottom orange was flickering a little bit. So I had to change some stuff and I think I got it to stop. So the game consoles I can make games on are: Atari 2600, Odyssey 2, Game Boy, Game Gear, Virtual Boy, Intellivision (though I haven't done that in a while). I also have created ActionMax and Odyssey 1 games, although they don't require "programming" of any sort. And I don't know if I can count Jaguar quite yet since I've just begun testing it out. I can't seem to tab over to make new paragraphs, so I hope this suffices. Like Homer Simpson said "I think I'll order a Tab." *presses tab key*.

I know they use IoT on some of the latest refridgerators, so perhaps it is one huge Atari branded fridge to cool your beverage while playing the classic consoles?

Thanks! I'm glad you look forward to it - as opposed to the comics on the Sunday page where you just kind of read them because they're there, even though they're not funny, but you feel like you should read them just in case they're funny that particular day, and anyway they're sandwiched between a couple of comics that you actually like reading so you might just as well, but then you wish you wouldn't have wasted the time. So... glad it isn't one of those.
