Weird Dreams
Pacing is a bad habit. Combined with my inclination to talk out loud to myself rather than thinking to myself, I often give the impression of a raving madman. I tend to think with images and articulate thoughts out loud. It feels like the brain is best suited for imagery; after all, our dreams are purely visual. I've never had a dream that involved any other sense than sight except for one when I was still in elementary school. I forget the context of the dream, but I know I was eating a grape. After I bit into it, I sorta double taked because I didn't taste any grape. That's when I called bullshit on the dream and woke up.
In a way, I guess it's like a "totem" in Inception. Since a totem is basically used to remind people they're in a dream, we could just eat something in a dream, realize we didn't taste anything and that we're dreaming, and wake up.
I guess I forgot about sounds in dreams. Although words are exchanged in my dreams, I never really remember them, unless they're really distinct. For example, one sound I remember vividly is a guy named Joey mentioning a phone number to me in a dream. Once again, no idea about the context, but when I woke up the number was stuck in my head. I was out of the country at the time, but I decided to phone the number anyway for fun. An angry man picked up, who sounded like he just woke up. He said he didn't know a Joey and proceeded to tell me to piss off. That's when I realized that it was 3 AM back home.

Don't Be a Hero
Welcome newcomers. I've been quite sick recently so most of my time has consisted of sleeping, eating and writing comics. I actually gained weight during my sickness, just because I'd always had a snack within arms reach. I'm not sure if it helps (especially when my diet is built almost entirely of microwaveables and various junk food) but it certainly aids in my much-needed naps for recovery. Sleeping is much easier after a large bowl of tomato bisque and tea.
University campuses are plague-ridden cesspools in this season. Everyone catches the flu within the span of 2-3 weeks because idiots choose to go to school when they're sick as a dog. People have to learn to take a rain check when their ill; this is your excuse to skip and our body's way of saying "Chill out, bro". Don't be a hero, you're just contaminating everyone else.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to uploading more comics for yall in February.

Apply Yourself
School blows. Maybe it's because I'm stuck on transit for an hour and a half before I get there or it might be the boring lectures that never seem to deliver any important information. I've never used anything I've learned in class in real life; aside from throwing the odd fact I learned in lecture in a conversation, stuff I learn in class never seem relevant. Even with math, which one would assume is a very relevant course, I can't remember a time when it's actually helped. Aside from splitting the bill after eating out, I rarely have the need to draw parabolas or use the Pythagoras theorem in every day situations.
I realize a lot of the stuff you learn becomes important when you become more specialized in your field. I just don't get why we're learning stuff that may or may not be useful far in the future, when we can just learn things that can be useful in the present. Potty training is a good example of something you learn that's actually useful. Granted, we get that over with pretty early in life, but I'm just saying things like that should be taught in school more. Things that we have to deal with all the time, which can be useful in our daily routine.
Anyway, here's Lucifer:

King
Starting this week, I'm gonna be uploading a hero once in a while from a personal project called Elements. Elements is supposed to be a fighting game featuring characters with different elemental powers, but really, it's just an excuse for me to draw bad-ass heroes.
Today's hero is King:

A New Year
Welcome to Tubey Toons. Some of you (however few you may be) are wondering what happened to the site? In a nutshell, we have reformatted it to a webcomic. Starting Jan 1, I'll try to upload a new comic every Tuesday. For the most part, I'm aiming to do small comic strips but I have several storylines that I want to tackle later in the year.
New Years Day is annoying because most of us realize we didn't achieve the goal we set last New Years' if we didn't already forget it. Then you naively think this is gonna be the year that everything changes and plan a new goal for yourself, ready to pursue it with new found zeal. I'm certainly feeling this right now with the comic and I just hope the fire keeps burning. I've never made a serious New Years' resolution just because I don't like making promises I can't keep. My default resolution every year is "staying alive", which I think is a reasonable goal. Technically, you can't achieve any other goal unless you meet this one, and as long as I don't die, I'm quite satisfied with myself at the end of the year. I guess I'd be satisfied with myself even if I died since I won't be alive to be disappointed, but I read that your brain is still active for a while after you die. Apparently, people who got their head lobbed off in the middle ages could still move around and talk a bit before kicking the bucket. So theoretically, I'd be disappointed for a couple seconds before my brain shut down from lack of oxygen.
Anyway, here's to another year of staying alive.
