Its A Pity

By Daniel on June 11th, 2009

Ten Other Pities:

  1. It’s a pity that I didn’t invent the harpsichord or the windstorm.
  2. It’s a pity that a tribe of ogres doesn’t insist that I am their long lost gawd.
  3. It’s a pity that Frank Black (of the Pixies) doesn’t wanna hang out with me. I could be his Kim Deal, but with a bit less drama. (And I love ya Kim.)
  4. It’s a pity that my invisible friend left town. Truly.
  5. It’s a pity that I don’t have a kite big enough to glide on.
  6. It’s a pity that Mike Mignola hasn’t yet thought to invite me and Dawna to dinner at his studio.
  7. It’s a pity that horns are considered socially unacceptable. Like bees.
  8. It’s a pity that Halloween doesn’t happen more often.
  9. It’s a pity that Monster Commute doesn’t have a video game, cartoon, Matchbox cars, or a few theme parks.
  10. It’s a pity that I can’t travel from town to town in my own traveling Steam Crow van, sharing my work with any who’d look at it.
  11. It’s a pity you don’t follow me on Twitter.

        What you should really do, is make an iphone app with all the strips in it.I love going back and reading some of the early drive ones, and if I could do that anywhere, anytime, it’d be more than worth whatever you would charge for the app.

          Yeah, that could be cool.

          You know about the existing iPhone APP, right? (With the last dozen strips.)

          I’ll have to check with my APPauthor, and see if he could be persuaded to do so.

          You’re the first person to ask for this. If we were to do this, what should we charge?

            Yeah, I have that app already, it works great. I just thought that being able to go back and read your favorites anytime would be an interesting idea. I don’t know how other fans feel about it but I’d gladly pay whatever price you thought was fair. There’s just so much more you could do with such a unique and fresh idea like this. I’m sure you’ve considered all this, but it’s just one fans humble opinion.

      Wow, the gray matter must be getting soft, I had to go back a number of strips to figure out where the crown came from, I’m with you now.

      Are you sure Frank doesn’t want to hang out w/you? I bet he would love it if you did some album art for him.

        I need to thank you for introducing me to his music, in addition to all of the other music you’ve turned me on to.

        Thanks, Pete!

          No problem! And thanks to you, my daughter runs around the house yelling “Get that bird, KEEEYAH!”.
