I finally got around to putting up the pictures from our 2005 Virginia Beach Vacation. Not much there, just enough to make me homesick for ocean.

Well, technically, the dogs are pretty much always nude in the summer. In the winter, Daisy and Nugget each have coats, teeshirts, sweaters… they’re small dogs, and small dogs need small clothes.

it occurred to me about two hours ago that there’s no way I’m making tonight’s deadline, so in the tradition of great sequential artists everywhere, I offer cheesecake instead.

The classic definition of cheesecake involves pin-up girls, but I’m right out. What I do have is pictures of the best looking man I know, and the inspiration for Cole, Lila’s husband, who’s actually going to appear in an upcoming strip after a long hiatus. So today, the cheesecake is for the ladies.

So that I can get a bit of a head start on the buffer again, we’ll see more cheesecake shortly…. but probably not of Cole.

Update: Jzimbert informs me (rather awkwardly, I might add) that the technical term for male cheesecake is beefcake. But that sounds too much like meatloaf to me, so I’m sticking with “male cheesecake” for now.

I have to say goodbye to the ocean today. We’re going home in just an hour or so — right after we eat breakfast. I’m tan and burnt and still occasionally coughing. I’ve had such a fill of seafood that I can’t stand the thought of it. (The only night we didn’t partake was the night we had pizza and Hershey’s ice cream. No, I didn’t know Hershey made ice cream either.)

Unless dire catastrophe, the next post will be from Pennsylvania.

Oh, and, comic later today, maybe.

It was sunny today and we spent hours on the beach. Here are some pics for you.

 

Some girls in the chunk of beach next to ours were throwing cheese puffs to the seagulls, so the gulls were hanging around being goofy quite a bit. And in the second pic, you can see a really big ship, probably a aircraft carrier.

Whoo!! I have beach!!

    

Yeah, it’d be a panorama if I wasn’t too busy partying to knit it together. Laters!
