< Doctor Fun's Peeporama 2003!
44,107c41,49
< April 28, 2003, ok, probably a two-week break starting next
< week, with some new/old stuff each week. I have two trips (not
< related to cartoons) coming up and I'm a little behind
< schedule.
<
< April 21, 2003,
< * Slashdot me two times baby - slashdot me twice today.
< Well, this past weekend, anyway. What were the chances of
< that. Stories are here and here.
< * And that's not all the excitement. Just like last year but
< maybe not like next year (yeesh), I squeezed out thirty
< more Peeps cartoons, hastily written and sloppily drawn.
< It's Doctor Fun's Peeporama 2003! Also, check out last
< year's Peeporama, and other Doctor Fun peep cartoons from
< the past, including last week, 2002 and this one, 2001 and
< this one, not to mention this one from 2000.
< * Most likely for sure I will be taking a one-week break May
< 5.
<
< April 14, 2003,
< * It's Peeps Week on Doctor Fun. For those of you listening
< in from other places who don't know what peeps are -
< imagine a small, delicious marshmallow chicken.
< * Curiously, there is an article about Doctor Fun in this
< month's University of Chicago Magazine. And if you typed
< in that link at the end of the article, welcome Chicago
< Alumni! At no extra charge to you here's a special
< expanded list of links to things mentioned in the article:
< + A cartoon about squirrels with the Regenstein Library
< in the background
< + Another cartoon with the entrance of the Regenstein
< Library. This is the old entrance before the lobby
< was rebuilt.
< + The Paul Serano cartoon
< + The Manhattan Project Christmas cartoon
< + Me drawing at the Sony Vaio drawing tablet computer,
< and here's what the screen looks like.
< + My "corner office near the A-level stacks" in the
< Reg. I do have a day job.
< + The first comic on the Internet: Hans Bjordahl's
< "Where the Buffalo Roam"
< + The first home of Doctor Fun: Keith Waclena's
< computer "neuromancer". (Sorry, this is the best
< picture I have.)
< + The Bill Gates cake. This was actually the "screen"
< for a cake that was shaped like a computer monitor. I
< heard he didn't eat any of the cake but he kept the
< screen. (There's more to this than meets the eye;
< this was drawn when Microsoft Windows was still
< Windows 3.x. "Chicago" was the code name for Windows
< 95; the screen is Microsoft's within-Word web browser
< plug-in; the Doctor Fun pose is a reference to an
< Easter egg that was hidden in Windows 3.x.)
< + The book Amy mentioned that I was reading was "The
< Earth Dwellers: Adventures in the Land of Ants", by
< Erich Hoyt.
< * Not only that, but there are some Doctor Fun cartoons on
< display in the John Crerar Library's Science & Humor
< Exhibit.
<
< April 3, 2003, Jack Leblond, who has maintained a Doctor Fun
< search engine at Net Smart Incorporated, since way back when,
< has asked me to note that he is also maintaining the Support
< Your Troops page.
