Psst... for all three of you who actually read what I write in this block, here's a sneak preview of SC's slightly new and improved layout. It probably won't go up for another week or so, but other than having graphics for header text and a few other minor changes (for example, the complete removal of the Section Archives block), it'll look just like that. Click any of the non-working links (indicated by the strikethrough) to come back here. And please send me an e-mail if you have problems viewing the pages. Thanks!

FINALLY, we've got a new article up -- He's Not Fucking Into You -- which also inadvertently contains a preview of the site's updated look. I just haven't gotten around to updating the main and archive pages yet. Anyway, stay tuned for that! And for more content and stuff, too.

Hey all! Wes here. I won't be around to update the site next week, hence today's massive update -- in addition to A Crayon Haiku #16 and Crayon Poetry Corner: RE2 Edition (the latter of which, like A Crayon Haiku: RE2 Edition, is part of our Resident Evil: Apocalypse tie-in), we've got two new food pieces that you just have to try for yourselves -- THE SANDWICH THAT PETRIFIES THE GODS and the culinary creation I have no doubt will become a snacktime favorite of TMNT fans over 21 everywhere, Turtle Spew. So y'all enjoy, and I'll see you in a week or so.  :)

HELLO! In addition to the new pieces at left, we've got five new additions to the links block below: Krazy Larry, Dyslexic Penguin, Poprocks & Coke, qwantz.com (daily dinosaur comics), and Huffin and Puffin. They're certainly worth checking out (or as much as any of these kinds of sites are worth checking out, I guess), so check 'em out when you get the chance.

And as we've said before, feedback is always welcome! Just a reminder.  :P

Swapped the position of the Section Archives block with that of the Site Talk block in an attempt to make the latter more visible. Please read it now.

Wes here. First of all, I'd like everyone to welcome Jax to Scary-Crayon! Her first piece for us is a poem entitled "Joan of Arc". Hopefully she'll stick around to contribute more in the future. Anyway, glad to have you on board, Jax.

Next point, towards the bottom of the links I've added a graphic link to my personal blog. The plans for a Scary-Crayon blog are in the works -- I've just gotta find someone willing to code a blog for me or learn how to do it myself (volunteers, anyone?), since I'd kinda like SC to remain "independent" and not have certain sections of it "powered by Movable Type" and whatnot. But until that happens, you've got my blog -- it's not officially part of the site, but until the official SC blog goes up mine's the closest thing to it.

Aaaand one more thing. Would anyone be interested in ordering Scary-Crayon merchandise (t-shirts, hats, mugs, etc.) or getting original drawings from your humble webmaster? Stuff like that? Send an e-mail and let me know. Hell, send me an e-mail anyway, assuming anyone even reads this column. I want to do a reader mail piece, but I don't have enough for that yet. By the way, that special request for donations still stands.

Hey folks, welcome (or welcome back) to Scary-Crayon! Things have been... wild over here in the past few days with the Stupid Internet Ads! piece having been linked on Metafilter, Adrants, and even CollegeHumor.com. (By the way, if anyone responsible is reading, we appreciate the plugs.) So. The good news? Gobs of incoming traffic for SC. We <3 traffic. The bad news? We've exceeded our set bandwidth for the billing period and are now into overtime and extra fees.

So yeah, if you're feeling generous, we'd really appreciate it... Whatever you can spare is fine. Or if you can't spare anything, that's fine too! But do feel free to e-mail an encouraging word or two...
