Clara and I have been putting this off for a long time, quite literally one year at this point, but it is time for both of us to step away from Cripz on a potentially-permanent basis. We really, really enjoyed working on this comic together and hope you enjoyed it too. Will we come back… Continue reading Taking some time off

Some parting thoughts on Troll Hunting 2011
A look back at some lessons learned from an encounter with a troll.
To catch a troll
As some of you probably know, I had a bit of a run-in with an Internet troll earlier this week. In my attempt to hire a new aid, I put up a job posting on kijiji. Unfortunately, a little brat decided to respond saying “I’m interested in taking care of your retard. is he fully… Continue reading To catch a troll
Washington Trip – Day 12 – The Final Countdown
Today is our last full day in Washington and the plan was to take it relatively easy as we have a solid +14h drive home to Port Elgin tomorrow. The plan was to get up and hit Georgetown University to check out the bookstore and then a quick hop back to the mall to finish… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 12 – The Final Countdown
Washington – Day 11 – Wicked
Jeff woke up this morning in a bit of a funk–his allergies had finally gotten the best of him. What he’s allergic to, we may never know, so let’s just assume it’s “freedom.” After popping some Claritin we were off to enjoy a day of artistic discovery at the National Art Gallery. Note, we finally… Continue reading Washington – Day 11 – Wicked
Washington Trip – Day 10 – Star Gazing
In previous trips Jeff has embarked upon, he oft finds the days begin to follow thematic lines, whether intentional or not. Today was exactly that type of day–from the first moment we should have known we were in for a good one. Why is that? Well, as we pull out of the parking garage we… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 10 – Star Gazing
Washington Trip – Day 6, 7, 8, 9 – Family Reunion
When originally planning this trip south, the whole idea was to spend some time in South Carolina so Jeff could see his relatives, who had organized a family reunion of sorts. It had been several years since Jeff had seen some of his aunts, uncles and cousins and he was excited to hang out on… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 6, 7, 8, 9 – Family Reunion
Washington Trip – Day 5 – American History X
Another day in misty Washington DC. After the roaring sun yesterday, the cool, misty morning was a welcome change. Unfortunately, with this cooler weather came the rain. As such, we kept pretty close to the hotel this morning, hitting some of the boutiques Clara had her eye on. After lunch, we set off for again… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 5 – American History X
Washington Trip – Day 4 – 500 miles
It’s hard to believe we’ve already been in the US for half a week. Quarter of the trip gone. With that lingering thought, Clara and Jeff set off on one of the most epic days ever attempted while on vacation, which would be too much for both Clara’s feet and Jeff’s wheelchair. Yes, this blog… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 4 – 500 miles
Washington Trip – Day 3 – Patatas Bravas
Today was our first whole day in Washington DC and it promised to be an eventful one, given the whole 4th of July thing. Assuming that our day would be a little messy, we decided to spend some serious time plotting out our next few days and taking care of some procedural things, like getting… Continue reading Washington Trip – Day 3 – Patatas Bravas
