The new Channelate collection, “Don’t Take This the Wrong Way” is available now in the STORE! And this time around, I am proud to inform you that the book is in full color, rather than black and white like the first one. The book collects over 140 comics and 20 bonus strips from late 2009 through 2010. We are going to start shipping them mid next week.
A few people mentioned that they wanted to download the song I did for Song Fu. Well, I made a new mix of it for you to download. I’m not the best at mixing yet, but I really want to get good at it. I did some online mixing tutorials and I’m actually pretty happy with how the song turned out.
The lack of comics so far this week is due to me recording a song for the Song Fu competition held on ASiteCalledFred.com.
The prompt for the first round was “bioluminescence” and here is my submission below. If you want to hear more of the entries, check out this link to the Song Fu forum.
Well you were flying
The kids chased you with a net
Cuz you were glowing
The brightest bug they’d ever met
You were determined
Evasive with a stroke of luck
Til you wound up on the windshield of a truck
Til you wound up on the windshield of a truck
Cuz nothing can glow forever
Every light goes out before long
You thought you’d be worse off in a net,
but you were wrong
Nothing can glow forever
It’s foolish to believe otherwise
A firefly looks like any other bug when it dies
So, I tell them
I’ve caught a glow worm in a jar
I will be cool now
Cuz It’s the brightest one by far
And then I show them
It doesn’t glow like it once did
Cuz I forgot to poke holes in the lid
Cuz I forgot to poke holes in the lid
Nothing will glow forever
To say the opposite would be untrue
If you don’t take proper precaution
Some bug will make a liar out of you
Nothing can glow forever
it could last a billion years or so
Every time you look at the sky
Know that someday every last star will explode
Every last star will explode
Now if you’re jealous
Of bioluminescent bugs
I must inform you
They only live a couple months
That’s if they’re lucky
And they aren’t trapped inside a jar
Or plastered to the headlight of a car
Or going super nova like a star
