Forgot it this year, but I'm sending it back in time.

Not much to say this year.

Harry's still retired.

Lotta family stuff going on.

Still working on the book (that has nothing to do with Harry but will have an Easter egg).

Shoulda maybe had a special 35th year picture drawn, but the slacking off one is kind of fitting.

Doing one for the 36th next year on an uneven year is totally Harry.

Yeah, I'll do that.

The thought of that cheers me up a little.

Okay then!

Coronavirus shit, and Trump  being impeached a second time is occupying my thoughts.

Um...Harry pops up in "The Emergence Saga".

The "Jolly Rancher" chapter.

I've gotta get back to that.

Yeah, that's about it.

Revisits #52.
-and-
Post 16 away from 3000 posts!

27 years later, I finally know what this cartoon means!

From here.

Note there's no implement of capture that got that guy into the grinder.
No snares, tethers, nets, handcuffs, no gun, no rag soaked in chloroform, no nothing.
Just the two guys, and the grinder, and the plate to catch the meat.

The guy got in the grinder willingly.
Oh, he regrets it NOW, but he got in there on his own power.

And now I know why.

The guy pushing the button represents the corporations and the (mostly Republican) politicians.

The grinder is the system, the plate is their stock portfolio, their bottom line, and the guy being turned to burger is us.

Coronavirus has put it all in stark relief.

The rich are coming right out and saying it now "here, piggy, piggy, get in the grinder! Aw, come on, please!?".

And the Christian conservative zombies have Stockholm syndrome, and are like "yes sireee!! I sure will! Wheee!!! *crunch, crackle, crunch!!*".

Only difference, my guy regrets the choice, and in his last moment, is calling out to his mommy.

Conserva-zombies grin like a dead Joker-venom victim right up until the last crunch.

Teenage me wasn't a psycho, he was a prophet.
Good on ya, teenage me.

There!! A decade of the one true blog-exclusive Harry comic.
What was I thinking saying last year was the cutoff point?
What a dummy.

I'll do the text version, and compile it (and this post) into the book whenever I get to it.
I got other secret projects I'm working on now.
A shitload of 'em.
I keep coming up with them, and it's hard to pick which one to stick to.
Although, I've got a pretty damned good idea which.

Anyhoo, a hard cider toast to the one idea besides Jade-Shade that cut through all the other bullshit distractions I wandered into.
Hopefully, the next thing will be even more cohesive.
Onward and upward!

Haha!! Wrooonng-guh!!

Well, like I said on New Year's, I slacked off due to existential crisis.
Details in there.
It'll be in the book too.
If I ever build the thing.

I technically missed this day too, but Google's midnight is 3 am, so I've got a bit before the rollover to tomorrow, and have to add a "belated".

Hmm, y'know, I think I'll wait 'til next year to compile the book, then I'll do the big 30th anniversary thing, and I'll get to include that too.
Yeah, that's the way to go.

"Anything that let's you slack off, huh, Mike?".

YEP!!! PRETTY MUCH!!!
:-D

Anyhoo, happy year-before-the-big-3-0, Harry!!

When I started the blog, you were old enough to drink, now you're old enough for a mortgage, and an SUV!

Okay, NOW I feel old.
When your high school cartoon character is old enough to be a dad, time to say "ouch!".

Anyhoo, see you next year for the big one!

I said it all in the Harry and Jade-Shade anniversaries.

Gonna write a text version of NLHH:DD into the next book.

And, this anniversary won't be included in the book.
This is the cut-off.
Although, it would have been a nice round number to have the 10th in there, but...I've fooled around long enough.

• The (fourth) YEAR Of Hembock!
• Happy 8th anniversary, Harry Hembock: Dark Designs!
• Happy 11th anniversary, "Nobody Loves Harry Hembock".
• Quantum Dissolve/Harryverse announcement.
• Quantum Dissolve title announcement.

So, "Quantum Dissolve", is done, and Harry ended up being pivotal to how it ended.
(See season 2 chapters 22-30)

Last year, I said there'd be a fifth Harry book after QD is done, and as you can see in the last couple links above, I'm merging that with QD, and QD is now "Jade-Shade/Harry Hembock: Quantum Dissolve".

After the Harry/QD hybrid book, I wanna do a compilation book of rants and humor from Krazyfool's, Shmegalamonga, and Facebook.
Thinking the title will just be "Krazyshmegalabook".
Maybe "Mike Meggison's Krazyshmegalabook".
Of course, I'll probably have character cameos to make it canon.

As for the big plans after the books I mentioned last time, where I used crossover connections to build QD, and then fold it back into Harryverse, I'm thinking of experiments that'll crossover-connect reality, and build books and other media that way.
Not quite sure how it'll manifest yet, but once I can get it going, then I can connect it to all the other ideas I want to do.

Anyhoo, this'll be the last Harry bonus feature until the book.
Hopefully, next year, that shit'll all be done, and I'll be talking about that.

Stay tuned!

Okay, last time I referred to new business with this series when QD was finished.
I may as well just blurt it right out there.
I'm going to novelize it for the next Harry Hembock book.
The written stories, Dark Designs, and a bunch of bonus goodies all in one nifty volume.
It'll fit in after the Harry graphic novels, but before QD.
An interquel.
Stay tuned!

RIP Tracie Shorete (A.K.A. Tamar Garish)

Fellow Wordforger.

Sucky end to the day.
:(

Update:

She used her mod powers to make Storm Rucker invincible.

I can't prove with courtroom perfection she knew what he was, but the traits of what he was impressed her. Enough for her to abandon any pretense of ethics.

Then I got gaslit by the rest of the board into putting her on a pedestal.

That Storm shit has me questioning everything I thought I knew about both her and her accomplices.

Margaret/Garamet had her sussed from the jump.

Like I said in "The (third) YEAR Of Hembock!", I want to cobble together a fifth Harry book.
It'll come after "Quantum Dissolve", is done.
It would be cobbled together from the online story content on the Harry page, and all the anniversary stuff, and "other stuff", will be the bonus content.
Plus, there'd be exclusive-to-the-book bonus material to make you shell out your shekels.

So, since this counts towards that bonus material, I ought to think of something.
Hmm....

Well, I've got big plans after QD and Harry book 5 are done, but I can't talk about them.
They'll either work or fail, and if they work, they'll change the universe.
Which is why I have to hide it under my hat.

But big things are coming!
I just gotta get these pesky books done.
They're the seeds from which will grow the mighty redwood.

Stay tuned!

As for speechifying, I think I said most of it on the 2nd books anniversary.
I've still got all that confidence and future planning, plus, inspired by all this Charlie Hebdo shit going around, angry defiance.

I'll be squeezing those lemons even harder for every last drop.
Stay tuned.
