      	<![CDATA[Rip Van Winkle is a dude who, I suspect, most of you have heard about.  He took a nap and woke up a few decades (and one American Revolution) later, an act that has since seeped into the American consciousness as a metaphor for, well, sleeping through literally any changes, great or small.]]>

      	<![CDATA[If it feels like it’s been fifteen years since I started making this comic strip, it’s probably because it’s been fifteen years since I started making this comic strip.  I was almost 27 and now I’m almost 42 and wow does that feel like a dramatic difference in my overall health.  But this isn’t about my rapidly deteriorating body, it’s about Rip Van Winkle.]]>

      	<![CDATA[I probably don't need to tell you what Sleepy Hollow's whole deal is because it's kinda famous?  There are several movies, you should watch them.  As the strip implies, New England Horror became a whole genre in the 1800s, with spooks and haints apparently creeping around every corner of the Eastern Seaboard.  Literally every town will have a local legend which - despite being local - is the same legend as several other towns.  That said, the tale of the Headless Horseman - while shared by other towns and cultures - has become indelibly linked to the small town of Sleepy Hollow, which is for the best, because they don't seem to have anything else going on there.  Like, wow, that sure is a dope Manor House, and look, the Hudson River!  Ooh, aah.]]>

      	<![CDATA[In honor of Public Domain Day 2022, I decided to look at this year's "new" Oz book.  Like most of Thompson's Oz writing, it's a mixed bag, though not wholely without merit.  I have to admit, I do particularly enjoy the setup of Hungry Tiger stumbling into the one situation in which it might be okay to finally eat fat babies (though of course it isn't).  The rest of the story, as you'd expect from Thompson, is a little bit racist, a lot bit sexist, and ultimately forgettable.  Nonetheless, it's still Oz, and if Oz is your thing (as it's obviously mine), "Hungry Tiger" is still worth a read now that it's free.]]>
