Tommy is in a surly mood today. He hates to get up in the morning (what teen doesn’t) but he hates having his routine messed with even more. Saying “hurry Tommy” doesn’t make him move any faster. If the house has a strong aroma of coffee or anything else, he “can’t breathe”. Apparently the smell completely fills his nostrils (imagine me rolling my eyes at the ridiculousness of this). His rules and routines sometimes drive the rest of us batty.

I love cartoons and subscribe to two online toon services. Yesterday I added several new strips and weeded out a few that just don’t ring my bell. I added one that immediately caused some deja vu. You’ll have to skip around a bit to see all the related strips because the characters, like most of us, have more than one thing going on in their lives. I don’t know where they plan to take the storyline, because the artist doesn’t seem to have an official website, but it should be interesting to see how they laugh without crying or making fun.
