					<description><![CDATA[Five years ago today I embarked on a multi-year web comic journey. I have May fifth marked in my calendar as a recurring event to remind me that on that day (THIS day) in 2017 I uploaded the first of about 200 comic strips that I wrote and drew. Almost all of those strips are [&#8230;]]]></description>

The pandemic puppy phenomenon did not pass us by around here, and every day as we go for our walks in the rain, shine, epic heat or brutal cold, we encounter so many other of these [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s hard to say whether dogs are philosophical observers of the universe around them, wondering at the world as it flits past their existential mindset &#8230; or if they are simply easily distracted. I think I&#8217;d like to think it&#8217;s the former. My dog and I go on three walks a day lately. This time [&#8230;]]]></description>

Six hours of driving from their house to ours has not been a particularly restrictive barrier for more routine visits previously so much [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ahhhh&#8230; nature. Living in the suburbs, and in particular a suburb that butts up squarely against a natural river valley preserved against development, it&#8217;s not uncommon to have the occasional run in with wildlife. I&#8217;ll often see coyotes or deer when I&#8217;m out running and extending my range into theirs. When the reverse is true, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As much as I&#8217;ve been spending time fine-tuning my campfire cooking skills, I&#8217;ve been thinking about all the small ways that effort has translated into a bit of backyard humour, too. Having a teenage daughter helps. She often and candidly points out all my shortcomings. Free of charge. &#8220;I&#8217;m embarrassed for you, dad.&#8221; Or more [&#8230;]]]></description>

It snowed a heap. So much for spring. Well, for today, at least. Of course, I stepped out into [&#8230;]]]></description>

I’m sure that other parts of the planet go through their own share of seasonal variation, but living in one of the more northern capital cities on the Earth also makes places us in a group where vast differences exist between the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m still working on my new comic, but in the meantime I&#8217;ve been digging through the archives of my previous strip and realizing that there are dozens of stories about hiking, camping, and outdoor sports. For example, after a particularly expensive outfitting trip to the local camp-gear store, I was inspired to draw &#8220;Be Prepared!&#8220; [&#8230;]]]></description>
