Update 6/21: Late again. Methinks I should just change the posting day to Wednesday, but I don’t think that’s going to solve the overall issue.
As I type this one-handed, holding a crying feverish baby, I must regrettably concede the comic until tomorrow. I’ll finish it up and post it once the little one is feeling better. Aric has more news below, so keep reading.
You know what, Blank It Army? No, I don’t like army. Troop? Group of Like-Minded People?
Whatever. Let’s see what you guys can do to rock the iTunes rankings for these podcasts.
Rate, review, and subscribe to these podcasts in iTunes (look them up or use the links below) and their placement on iTunes should become more prominent. Because, you know what? It’s hard to fight in a world run by the wonderful Ira Glass.
So, the Better Strangers podcast for one. And the Mustache Rangers podcast for two.
Come on, thousands of readers. I know you can make it happen.
Also, you know. Tell some more folks about Blank It. Why not, right?
Also also, decide what you guys want to be called. Minions? Naw. Something though.
I can’t stop making websites. Collect them all!
And those are only the new ones. Sheesh.
If you’re in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area this weekend, stop by MCBA’s SpringCon! Minnesota State Fairgrounds, Grandstand building. We’ll uh, be there.
If you’ve looked more than three pages into Blank It: Volume 1, you’d know that I’m very proud of my grandpa and namesake. He’s Big Lem. I was Little Lem.
This past weekend I flew down to Tennessee and saw him one last time, in the hospital after another heart surgery. I got a call just last night that he had passed. I’m so glad I took a chance flight and got to see him in his final days. Blank It helped pay for my tickets, so I owe you all a debt of gratitude.
I’ll be changing his dedication in the book to a posthumous memoriam from here out. We only have 8 copies of the current book left, so if you want an “old school” copy, best to get it now. Not that I’m looking to profit on this, I just know that he was proud of this comic. The picture in the book of Big Lem wearing the “Lemmo” hat was from when I wore it the last time I visited him; he liked it so much he kept it. I think the picture will stay in the book.
Anyways, thanks for sharing a moment with me, everyone. I’m gonna miss you, Big Pa.
