Corgi...tastic?
Thursday, August 28, 2008 I've got a couple of more crazy good "Corgi of the Future" drawings to share before SasqWatch 2813 wraps up tomorrow. The first is from Scott Drummond, creator of the webcomic "Dock Boys". He believes that corgis will gain sentience in the future, and instead of just barking, will start barking orders. See what I did there? Yeah.  Yes SIR! And wrapping up this great little diversion is a little something from Pat Guarino that just blew me away this morning. Take a look:  Wow. Seriously. W-O-W. What did I say about humbling me, people? It's rude :) Thank you so much to everyone who sent in a drawing. I really enjoyed writing and drawing this little diversion, and I'm a little sad to see it end tomorrow. But don't worry, I think Trunk and Flank will be back soon. And don't forget, Ugly Hill returns on September 1st! Tell your friends, enemies, and co-workers. |

Corgalicious!
Tuesday, August 19, 2008 Wow, we got a couple of good ones today: Dear Paul, Attached is my rendition of the future Corgi. History tells us that time runs on a cyclical basis, so I am almost 100% certain that eventually Corgis will evolve into monolithic dinosaur like beasts that devour entire cow pastures in a single day. Naturally there would be objections about keeping these things of pets. I mean, let's not get started on any possible walkies these guys have to be taken out for... - Alex Ilitchev  Scary walkies indeed, Alex. You'd need a Ziploc bag the size of a toolshed to pick up those tightly-coiled piles of post-historic poop. Next is a submission from Jay Johnson that just blew me away. I found some time for a submission. Here's my design for a Space Corgi in the future. Thanks for your hard work, Ugly Hill is one of the bright moments of my day. Keep it up!  Man! New rule, guys. You can't send in any drawings if you're better than me. It just... it just makes me feel bad. I kid! Jay says he doesn't have a website yet, but if he doesn't get one soon, I'm gonna sic that first Corgi on him. Incredible work. Thanks, Jay. Thanks, guys! It's been really fun looking through these drawings. Keep 'em comin'! The cut-off date will be September 1st, when Ugly Hill comes back... with a vengeance! Okay, maybe not with a vengeance, but maybe kind of ticked off? |

Three Things...
Monday, August 18, 2008 First, I played Wii sports for the first time Saturday and my shoulder now feels like a rhino in golf cleats danced all over it. Second, I think we may have found out that our son is allergic to spinach. Not only did he not care for it, but wherever it touched him, his skin turned red. It was like throwing holy water on the devil! We're thinking of re-naming him Anti-Popeye. And third, an email received over the weekend from someone or something called "Wippy Woop": Not much of a masterpiece, more of a doodle, but I hope you don't mind! In the future Corgi will hover , helping them reach those Hard-to-get-when-you-have-stubbs-for-legs treats. -Claire Oh, I guess her name is Claire. I'm still going to call her "Wippy Woop", though, because that's the sound I made when I won at Wii Boxing. Here's Ms. Woop's futuristic horror:  |
