Like sands in the hourglass, so are the sands of the desert, except there are way way more of them and they're not inside a glass thingy
There's a new issue of On the Premises up, with a new installment of Six Things by me. Check it out, if you are the sort of person who likes to do what I say.

Paradoxically, I couldn't draw this cartoon until I drew this cartoon
After a rather long hiatus indeed...six things.

Where's a poisoned needle that makes you sleep for a thousand years when you need one?
I think a lot of people missed this cartoon when I originally linked to it at On the Premises, so here it is in traditional Six Things format.

Six things, sort of
Someone linked to this old entry of mine, and being reminded of the (now relocated) make-your-own-sign site inspired me to make some more. Six, in fact.
March 02, 2007
Just six of those things
My friend Tarl has been working on starting up a new online magazine for aspiring writers called On the Premises, in which he provides a open-ended premise for a story-writing contest which all the submissions must follow in some fashion. For the just-posted first issue, the premise was "One or more characters are traveling in some kind of vehicle towards a specific, planned destination. For some reason, they fail to arrive at their intended destination."
There are other features in each issue, including a mini-contest and, probably of the most interest to people who wish I would draw more cartoons, an installment of Six Things based on the contest premise (my first paid cartooning work, incidentally). Check it out here.

And now the final confirmation that yes, last week's commenters were in fact picking up on my ever-so-subtle foreshadowing

Bet you thought I'd forgotten about this
This week's Six Things is part of a series. (Here's where to read part one and part two if you're not caught up with the very complicated plot.) And I know it was a total lie the last time I said it, but this storyline will continue (and conclude) next week. Really.

If You're Feeling Six Things-ish
As a preface to this week's cartoon, I feel obliged to point out that the new Belle & Sebastian CD, The Life Pursuit is clearly going to be the album to beat for my best-of-2006 list. Cannot. Stop. Listening. That said:

Well, it's 2006, and my goal for the new year is to run a Six Things every week. So here's the first one, only about a week too late to have been topical.

Crisis on finite elves!

This resolves an inconsistency introduced in this strip and this strip, namely that the acorn and the rabbit appear to be about the same size. Fortunately, Fizzywinkle lives in an alternate universe or something. Also, cheese can talk there.

(Also: Six Things will be going on semi-hiatus next week. Cargo's schedule is pretty light at the moment, so the services of we freelancers will not be required until a week from Monday...and the office is where the scanner is. However, I have drawn a couple extra cartoons and pre-scanned them, so the week will not be entirely cartoon-free.)

Through a scanner, not so darkly
Turns out I drew another cartoon. Maybe this will turn into a series. I'll call it "Six Things".
