The logo for Anubis: Dog of Death went through a few changes before we finally decided on a version we could be content with.
Logo Concept Art
Anubis Concept Art
These are some early pieces of concept art for the main character of Anubis: Dog of Death.
In Ancient Egypt, people often associated Anubis with jackals, due to their penchant for scavenging the meat of corpses in the graveyards, so John made our Anubis look much more like a jackal than most representations of the god, with much more fur than the smooth obsidian look he is often portrayed with.
The Doctor VS Anubis
This is the story about how the main character in Anubis: Dog of Death started out as a minor villain in my unmade ‘Doctor Who’ comic books.
Anubis the Mummy
This is the first of many bonus images we have planned of Anubis dressed up for a holiday.
We already have some plans for Christmas 😉
My New Comic
Anubis – Dog of Death is a comic about Anubis, the Egyptian god of death.
Once a powerful creature, he now spends his days as a purse dog.
Jonathan Coulton’s Career

He had hopes of becoming a musician from a young age. So while studying for his Bachelor of Arts degree at Yale University, he was part of several bands with fellow students. Most notably the collegiate a capella group The Yale Whiffenpoofs.
InterRail 2010 – Part 13: Nancy
After visiting Paris, I started heading south, toward Italy.
I was going to take the train through Switzerland to get there, so I had to change trains in the French town of Nancy.
I had some time to kill before my train departed, so I decided to have a look around.
.
A thing I saw that really caught my attention is a sculpture I think I have identified as a World War I Moselle memorial, but I could not find anything concrete online to be sure, and I failed to get the plaque in the picture.
I like the symbolism of a golden heart atop a mass of blackened hearts, even if I fail to draw the connection to World War I.
.
I did not have enough time to see very much of the town, but what I saw seemed peaceful and beautiful, and I am glad I got to see a different side to France than just Paris before I left the country.
But just as soon as I had arrived, I was on my way to Switzerland!

I Won a Pop Culture Award
A few days ago, Ruth from Silver Screenings held The Silver Screenings Awards over on their website.
This is an award that they hand out to various bloggers they like, from time to time.
When it comes to awards in the blogging community, one has to be specific.
This is not a chain letter interview-award.
I do appreciate getting those aswell, as it can be fun answering questions, but I don’t think that those should have been given the name “award”.
How about “chain-interview”?
No. This is a more conventional award, with several winners in different categories.
And I won in the Pop Culture category! Thanks Ruth 😀
.
Since part of the reason for getting this reward was my varied output of posts, I decided I would link to a few of my pop culture posts about various forms of media.
Of course, if you are more interested in one subject than another, clicking on a posts category tag should help you find even more of what you are interested in.
I hope you enjoy.

Why You Should Play Games
For some gamers, it can be difficult to realize that not everyone understands their hobby. Gaming has grown so much in popularity that it can now safely be considered mainstream, so it is easy to overlook that there are still many people baffled by the popularity of this media.
So this article is for those of you who don’t quite know why you should play video games, but is interested in finding out.
It’s-a me, SindrElf!
This weekend, me and my girlfriend finished Super Mario Odyssey on the Nintendo Switch she got me for Christmas.
Well, finished is not quite accurate, as there’s a huge amount of extra content and collectables available once you finish the game. Along with all the collectables we did not find from earlier in the game. This will take us a looong time to actually finish completely.
Incoming Comic Patreon
I have been spending some time lately setting up a Patreon-page for my upcoming comic that I mentioned here earlier. It is a lot of work figuring it all out, but I think it will be worth it.
Patreon is a crowdfunding website that lets people support creators who make cool stuff.
I have been signed up for a few years, mostly supporting some YouTubers I like.
I am one of many $1 supporters, which makes up the majority of the income for these full-time online entertainers.
I am making the Patreon-page more by necessity than anything else.
I have a very talented artist working on the art, but
I can only afford to pay him for one page each month
