I actually tried this once. It was a giant festival race thing in Alaska, the wife and I took Turd. Actually I'm full of shit.

I think the alignment may be off on the van

Great news. My awesome GiMP hacking skills are good enough for the comic that I didn’t have use a bunch of filters like I thought I was going to need to do. There are a few artifacts here and there … Read More
