My Apple Confession
I have never owned an Apple product. I have used several. I used the Apple2 in the summer of 1986 at a school program.

Digital Art Beginner’s Guide
What is digital art? Digital art is artwork done in whole or in part using a computer. The artwork can be graphics, photo editing, drawings, paintings, or even 3D modeling. Some digital artists do the entire process with their computer. Others sketch thumbnails or rough drafts with pens or pencils before scanning them in to create their finished work.

News: KarlHabegger.com is now live
In the grand tradition of the High Court of Herringia, I would like to invite you all to join me in wearing khaki shorts, a t-shirt and crocs tomorrow to celebrate the official Turning On of the New Theme here at KarlHabegger.com. As you may or may not be aware, I have been posting my sketches, artwork and ramblings at The Replacement Komics for several years now. As part of an effort to organize my online life, I have decided to get rid of a few of my former domains. This website is the new home of all things Karl with the exception of merchandise. When I am able to offer books, t-shirts, and autographed toothpicks in the future I will be using the Fishvan imprint for those efforts.
Upcoming book: Pernicious Tales
A long term dream of mine is coming to fruition. I’ve written and illustrated a very small volume of short stories, comics, and poetry. There are twenty-six pages and it will be bound graphic novel style. It is called “Pernicious Tales”. I’m hoping to publish in January. In the meantime, here a sneak peek at the cover.
Cha-cha-changes…

The folks over at Superpunch! are holding a contest. It involves Calvin and Hobbes. You should enter!
Here is my entry. Calvin is all grown up, but still getting advice from his friend Hobbes. Note to my mother: I’m sorry.
Newest Komedian
We picked up Lucy at the Athen’s shelter yesterday. She is marked like a miniature pinscher, but smaller like a chihuahua. She is a hoot.
Avenge My Death!
Tonight I ate the home-cured gravlax that I made following the recipe I found at I Eat You. It was delicious. Unbelievably good. If I don’t die of food poisoning, I will call it a success.
This being my first foray into the world of self-prepared-uncooked fish, (…okay, that isn’t quite true – I once dried some catfish in our food dehydrator, effectively ruining it, but I didn’t eat that…) I went ahead and photographed it for your viewing pleasure. Please note that my photography is almost as amateurish as my cheffery. And wordsmithery.
Now that you have a picture, if it kills me, you know what to go after. Avenge my death!
