EDIT: That little experiment was kind of a failure.  I’ve changed my feed back to the way it was.  I’m so sorry for any inconvenience that made.  In the future, I’ll try to provide ample warning if I make a change that drastic.  Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone!  I hope your weekend is start off nicely.  I just wanted to write a little note to let you know that the RSS feed for Big Sandy is going to be a little different..  If you’re subscribed already, you don’t need to resubscribe or anything.  The feed address will remain the same.  I am changing some things that are going into it.  I’ve consolidated the feeds from my other two projects: The Community Life comic and The Lightbox Podcast.  Now when I update those things, it will show up in the Big Sandy Gilmore RSS feed too.

What this means for right now is that the feed is a little wonky.  All of the posts from each project are lumped together, so you have to scroll to the bottom to get the most recent Big Sandy update.  That should go away from now on as it pulls the most recent post and puts that on top, no matter where it comes from.  Thanks for being patient and I hope you enjoy more extra content from the RSS feed!

If you’re not subscribed to Big Sandy Gilmore’s RSS feed yet, now is a great time to do so!  Just click the “subscribe” link in my navigation bar, or that little wave up in your URL bar.  Thanks!

I recently visited my parent’s house for the holidays.  They are cleaning our their garage and made me take some boxes home because they’re tired of storing my old stuff for me.  One of the boxes I took was a box of my Garfield collection.

Back in 6th grade, before I realized that Garfield isn’t funny, I really loved Garfield.  I saved anything with Garfield on it.  And thanks to the marketing behemoth that is Paws, Inc. that was a whole lot of stuff.

Going through all my old Garfield stuff made me pretty nostalgic.  Despite my opinions now, I can’t deny that Garfield was one of my earliest and strongest influences, and I got inspired.  So this week is going to be a series of Garfield-inspired Big Sandy Gilmore strips for your enjoyment!

Sorry for the lack of communication and updates!  It’s been kind of a crazy Christmas!  Anyway, Big Sandy’s on a break this week and will return in the New Year!  Have a great rest of the week and we’ll see you in 2010!
