A Crayon Haiku Farewell.

A Crayon Haiku Farewell.

A Crayon Haiku Farewell.

In this installment of A Crayon Haiku, Scary-Crayon says goodbye to a longtime friend, the noble Duncan MacPhish of the Clan MacPhish, who recently passed on to that great fishbowl in the sky. Rest in peace, pal.  (6/27/04)

Crayon Poetry Corner #5!

''Joan of Arc''

Crayon Poetry Corner #5!

In Crayon Poetry Corner #5, newcomer Jax pays tribute to the warrior saint Joan of Arc in a poem appropriately entitled “Joan of Arc”. By the way, Scary-Crayon thinks Leelee Sobieski is hot.  (6/27/04)

Welcome, Jax!

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. 😛

The true face of Pan…?

The true face of Pan...?

THE TRUE NATURE OF PAN…

We’ve all heard the story of Peter Pan, but if you’re like us at Scary-Crayon you’ve always found a few of the details to be slightly… unsettling… and with good reason. Read on to discover the true nature of Pan.  (6/23/04)

SC is popular? Donations, anyone?

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…

Best Friend Colton!!!

BEST FRIEND COLTON!!!

Straight from the dollar store comes Best Friend Colton — the creepy poseable blue-eyed doll who shops at outlet stores and lusts after men from afar. Everyone should have a best friend like Colton!  (6/16/04)

New month, new links.

Yep, new month, and with a new month comes new links — one for Ill Will Press and one for VG Cats, both great sites that I probably should’ve linked with the others given that I check them out about as regularly as the rest. You should too!

And I’m always happy to link sites with content I find interesting, so if you’ve got a link you think should be here, e-mail me a URL and I’ll take a look at it! Of course, if I think it’s awful, I reserve the right to not reply in order to avoid an awkward and potentially offensive e-mail in which I list the reasons that I don’t want to link your page… Anyway, er, thanks for reading!
