Like so many people, I am a paradox. I am a politically conservative vegetarian. I am from a Christian background, and still tend to like those values, but am a metaphysical astrologer trained in science who has an interest in the magic of ancient Egypt and a weird belief that some piece of our essence can live on a server. I live in Texas, but like chatting with my international Wordpress pals the best. I learn by teaching. Technically, I am a "Leo," but I am very, very Aquarian with a dose of Scorpio. I bitterly complain about Algol (and Algol personaliites), yet it is the one star that defines me most (other than Regulus). (Which, oddly, makes me an Algol personality.) I am a reclusive lover of peace and quiet who has the Ascendant in the Via Combusta (the most conflict ridden part of the zodiac). I am an incredibly private person with a blog with over 800 followers and 50 to 150 regular daily visitors. I could go on, but I think you get the picture. View all posts by Grandtrines

Coursera has a cartooning course going. I think you have inspired me to think about doing something with that.

You should try it! Cartooning is hard work, but also a LOT of fun.

OMG! HARD WORK! That really worries me. They say “hard work never killed anyone,” but I bet I would be the first! 🙂 (Actually, I bet it is a TON of fun! 🙂 But I might have to draw stick people, like XKCD.)

Oh my god. I LOVE that webcomic. The simplicity of it is what really makes it work! 🙂

They have a winning combination, no doubt. I wonder if they can make a living doing it? (Pretty sure the Dilbert guy, Scott Adamas, does.)

Scott Adams definitely does. The writing in his strip is solid. 🙂

Long term fan of his. Each summer (not sure why the summer but every summer since about 2006) I fantasize about being a cartoonist or songwriter (or both) and having a totally autonomous life where I can live / work anywhere I choose with no “boss” in any converntional sense of the word. (Sounds like I’d better get to work! 🙂 )
