This has inspired me to perhaps post weekly non-comic character concepts.
I had a dream I was a rock star last year. Like a daydreaming-type dream, not a subconscious reality. So I went out and bought a guitar, then booked a meeting with record companies all across the country. All the deals fell through, they thought I was horrible. I thought I might keep practicing and eventually get good enough to try again, when I realized I had put the cart before the horse. What I SHOULD have done was sit in on other musicians live performances and heckle them into an emotional state of torment, that way competition for a record deal would drop drastically! Then I realized that no matter how horribly I treated other people, self esteem is not a comparative quality… making them feel worse wasn’t going to make me feel any better. Not ONLY did I refrain from treating other people badly, I had a Snickers© candy bar! That made me feel SO much better about myself! Almost as much as I did before I took my sleeplessness vow.
But now I’m fat. Thanks a lot, Snickers©. Thanks for your fat.
I’m noticing that those who use Internet Explorer to view Also, Bagels (about 15% of the audience) are seeing the site much differently than those using browsers created this decade. Certain small pieces of borders are missing and, more prominently, the blog post avatars are squished beyond recognizability! This is not in any way my fault. You might not check Also, Bagels more than once a day, but if you’re still using Internet Explorer (the default browser installed on Windows computers) you are missing out on a lot more than a skewed display on a comic site. Allow me to point you toward the completely free and superior alternatives: Mozilla FireFox and the more recent not-as-popular Google Chrome.
Happy improved browsing, Windows users! And thanks so much for everyone’s continued support of Also, Bagels.

Despite the constant denial of my sister and the condescending attitudes of Phni and BU10ne, I would consider myself a sane, and additionally, tech-savvy person. So it should hopefully come to a surprise to those on my side how much difficulty I had attaching a secondary monitor to my laptop a few days ago. Sparing you the details, it shouldn’t have taken me 3 trips and 4 wrong components to realize which adapter I actually needed. To close this riveting tale, for gosh sake’s kids, don’t be as stupid as this time wasting courier/psychiatrist. I’ve got a reputation filled with sanity to keep up and I would hope that you do as well.
