The joke brought to you in part by Steve Pimental.  Hell, he basically wrote it start to finish.

The first Star Trek strip of the year!
Scott's script lacked flare.
For our first project in animation class, we had to make a bouncing ball.  It just had to bounce four times, but I went all out with a short Portal themed video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tDqfWNMet0

Classes start tomorrow.
It'll be strange getting up in the morning, especially since 2 AM is my typical bedtime.

The Mrs. and I just watch The Land before Time, the good one, the original one, the one from nineteen eighty-something-or-other.  Apparently, between the ages of 2 and 3, I committed the entirety of the film to memory.  These memories, which over the years had trickled down to my subconscious, were all awakened throughout the course of tonight's viewing, and I feel I may even be a bigger fan of the movie now than I was then.

I accomplished a number of things since last week's strip was posted.  I beat Portal and the cooperative portion of Portal 2.  I celebrated my first Christmas in my own home, saw Coin Collection through it's first year of existence as you know it, and grew one year older myself.
The final panel of this first ever four-panel Coin Collection harkens back to the first panel of the first ever on-line Coin Collection.  Coin Collection was quite a different comic when I drew it on  college ruled journals back in high school, but I'm thinking of posting a couple of those to the site to give you an idea of where it all began.
