A Slap Update: Do I Still Have That Blog?


"Hey man, do you still have that blog?"

"Yeah, I think I do... although I don’t really remember the last time I put anything in it."

"Are you kidding me? You basically wrote nothing all of last year, just posting pictures of naked ladies.”

“Surely that’s not true."

"Oh yeah? Go take a look."

Time passes.

"Holy shit. You’re right. I basically just posted naked people."

"Yeah, as if the internet doesn’t have enough of that. What the hell were you doing?"

"Don’t know. I think I got tired of writing. I spent all my day at work writing. It’s exhausting."

"Yeah, but now you finally figured out how to dictate voice-to-text, feed it through AI, and let it make sense of your rambling, right?"

"Oh yeah. We’re doing that right now."

"That’s right. So, you know, writing is not as painstaking as it used to be. Why not get back to it?"

"But I’ve got so many cool cowgirl-looking pictures, and people like them."

"Alright. Make yourself a deal. You can only post your weird picture collection on the internet if you attach something that you wrote along with it."

"You mean, like this?"

"Yup."

Quickshots: The Rush

 


Yukon.  Gold Rush.  A drunken father, a wayward son, a questing mother.  Death, madness, terror, ice, snow.

Some sexy times.

Spiders.  SIPDERS?!?  Yup, spiders.

That’s The Rush in a nutshell.  Oh, and Mountie, too.

The Rush is interesting graphic novel that is a mix of weird west and family drama, with a healthy dose of survival horror to boot.  The art is fantastic, the writing is crisp, characters are multi-dimensional and believable.  Go read it, true believers.
