Hello. Monday has rolled its way around again, all too soon in my estimation, and it’s time to talk about the week that was and the week that will be.
I’d like to start this week’s blog with a happy birthday wish to my niece, Kayla, who turned 15 on Sunday. Fifteen…I remember when she was just a little sprout like it was yesterday. The time sure does fly.
I had a lighter drawing workload this week which was a welcome change of pace. I’ve now switched to trying to get my Funnies strips drawn during the week, leaving me with a mash-up to draw over the weekend and the new feature strip (which I have a small lead on). I’m liking this new schedule as my weekends feel freer.
Despite this free time, my video game consoles got no play time this weekend. I’m sure they’re sad about that. I thought I might play a little on Sunday, but I got sidetracked with online searches for Skylanders and board gaming news amongst other things. I did get a little gaming in, with a game of Elder Sign with my mom on Friday. We played for the first time with the Unseen Forces expansion I got for Christmas. It ramps up the difficulty a notch. Things started off really bad for us, but we managed to get a mix of adventures that gave us some time to breathe. We were able to recover and pulled off the win rather easily. My mom has surprisingly really gotten into Elder Sign. I’m glad I took the chance to try it with her.
In addition to Elder Sign on Friday, I played Fantasy on Saturday night. Fantasy is a card game I got for my birthday a few years back but never got around to playing. I brought it to the table because it’s French and one of the friends I was with doesn’t speak English which tends to disqualify a good deal of my collection that is language intensive. It’s simple and plays quickly and well, but there’s nothing to really grab you. It’s good for a night of light gaming when people are burnt out on lengthy complicated games.
That’s all for this installment. Have a good seven and we’ll do it all again next Monday! Carja V.

Hiya hiya hiya! Howaya howaya howaya? It’s Friday folks! The best day of the work week (because it’s the last day of the work week). Let us celebrate Friday’s greatness with a flashback while we still can!
It’s a Star Wars week (and as mentioned last week, not the last). As always, click on the picture to see an enlarged close-up view!
Red Rich returns as Grand Moff Tarkin. I decided to go with a classic Tarkin pose this time out. The arms are probably a little longer than they should be to allow for it.
And here’s the comparison to the original mash-up.
That’s all for this week! Two more flashbacks left! DC gets their last flashback next week. Remember who? Find out next Friday!

Whew! Welcome from the cold snap! It’s a chilly Wednesday morning! Let’s warm our brains up with a mash-up! Cool?
As I mentioned last week, there were two League of Legends mash-ups remaining. After this week, only one will be left! As always, click on the picture to enlarge it.
Here’s Chae making her mash-up debut as Caitlyn. I’m happy that her first mash-up turned out so well.
That’s all for this week. Who’ll be the last League of Legend star next week? Find out next Wednesday!
