P.S. For more reading on the actual story, see here, here, and here. Crazy world we’re living in… On a positive note, my coffee cups are finally starting to look a little less like chia pets.

S&F in Philosophy Now
And they’re back! Here is Simon & Finn in the April 2013 issue. 🙂
Mortgaged to the hilt
P.S. For those of who’ve been breathlessly following the naming debate for this little strip, “Grin & Bear It” was going to be THE name, but alas it’s taken !! Since 1932 in fact… a fellow by the name of George Lichtenstein debuted it as a comic strip name then and it’s now the property of King Features Syndicate. Which doesn’t seem all that fair to me considering it seems a bit vestigial now, but oh well..
However all is not lost. THE name will debut next week. Promise, end of story. And then we can close this chapter.. to your great relief I’m sure. 🙂
Haresute
Ok.. So I’m still undecided re: the final strip title name here and have been enjoying the dialogue and great ideas ! There is a name in “reserve” that I’m going to spring on you all on the next strip… the trick has been trying to find a good name that’s not taken. 😦
(Also, there was supposed to be more bunnies on his head but I scanned and coloured the wrong image.. sorry about that, hope the joke still worked. Because he’s a bear he could technically have hares elsewhere, right? 🙂 )
Horseburger 2
This strip was the result of one too many glasses of wine when discussing horsemeat debacles with friends..

I know, I know.. the time for bad horse meat jokes is past due… but someone’s gotta close the barn door after. 🙂
A Finn-y Friendship 3
Ok, so this week – in addition to taking a final cheap shot at psycho-analyzing Finn – I’m still playing around with formatting. It’s been tricky to find a middle ground between gigantic and miniscule (aka the Goldilocks conundrum).
I also am trying out a new version of Gimp, an open-source (i.e. free) alternative to PhotoShop.
Conclusion? Don’t try too many new things at once.
Anyhow, here’s my latest attempt, hope it translates ok on your screens. 🙂
A Finn-y Friendship 2
So.. some of you may recall a conversation with my mom last week, where she dared to admit she wasn’t the biggest fan of Finn…
As a result of this catastrophic news, investigation has begun into Finn’s psyche. In this week’s post, we continue to investigate the raison d’etre of Finn – is he just a punk? Or is he a punk with a history?
The plot thickens. 🙂
P.S. I’m playing around a bit with format/sizing, so please let me know if things look wonky on your end. Also, thinking of putting up some pages of a larger Simon & Finn story in pending posts if there is appetite for that!
A Finn-y Friendship
So.. I was having a conversation with my mom last week when the subject of webcomics came up (yes, I know – a common topic of conversation with one’s parents…) Anyway, we were merrily chatting and I happened to mention Simon & Finn. She paused.
Sensing something amiss, I pursued the pause like a beagle after a quick brown fox. The conversation went something like this:
Me: “Why are you pausing? Is there something about Simon & Finn you are wanting to tell me?”
Mom (uncertainly): “Nooo… not really..”
Me: “What is it?? Tell me!!!”
Mom (uncertainly): “Well…. I’m not quite sure how to say this… but …” She stopped, but then continued in low, hushed tones: “I don’t know if I like Finn!”
Me: “WHAT???”
Mom (growing bolder): “Well.. he’s no good for Simon! He always brings him down!”
This was pure gold! And made me think… yes Finn is a bit of a punk… but maybe I haven’t given him enough of a backstory… why is he such a punk… does he really not care about Simon? And… is he really that unlikable?! Maybe what I find funny, moms find concerning, but stay with me with me as we delve deeper into the psychology of the hairballed one..
