Today I stumbled on a website that I just had to share with you guys.  It’s kind of along the same lines as Fail Blog and Awkward Family Photos, except it examines things that people are giving away for free on online classified sites, mainly Craig’s List.  His commentary on the state of the items just cracks me up!  Here’s a description of the site in the author’s own words:

There are things money can’t buy.  Love.  Admiration.  There are also things money won’t buy.  Like an old couch torn to shreds by an army of cats.  It turns out that the cliché is wrong: one man’s trash is usually another man’s trash, too.  The posts you see here are created by people hoping to defy the odds.  To unload the un-unloadable.  To recycle the worst of everything.  In short, this is about optimism . . . and its tragic consequences.

So the site is http://itemnotasdescribed.com .  I added it to my RSS reader, you should go check it out!

I’ve got some awesome guest strips lined up for you this week!  I’ve asked some webcomic friends of mine to cover the strip for me while I work on finals.  These will come from artists whose work I love and respect, and I’m excited that I get to share their work with you.  I love to see what other people do with my characters, often things that I wish I had thought of myself!  So have a great week and show some love to these great writers and artists in the comments section!  Big Sandy will resume as usual next week!

My new book (that I’ve been talking about for weeks now) is finally available to the public!  It’s listed at the IndyPlanet catalog!  For a paltry three dollars you can read the first 59 Big Sandy Gilmore strips plus creator commentary by me!  I’m so excited to be able to offer this to you!  You can get it here!
