Winter and Autumn

Moon and stars and snow and wolves! And that dang gun. Next week: what have the ladies have been up to?

This work week finds me busy at work on a project that will be launching next Wednesday. I hate those “OOH SECRET PROJECT I CAN’T TELL YOU ABOUT” posts that everybody falls victim to posting online; if you’re only an occasional peruser of Family Man, this is just your official advisory to check in sooner rather than later. Your bookshelf will thank you later.

Lastly, if you’ve been looking for some more 18th century historical fiction, I’ve been plowing through the prose novel The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, by David Mitchell. Mitchell is a wonderful stylist, and when he’s in Historical Mode he does a marvelous job of taking a setting and wrapping it around your head. (His plotting can be rather cruel, though, so if you’re squeamish about characters being knocked around, seek comfort.)

See you next week!

    Hold on a minute. I thought Nolte was holding down the fort back at the Uni. How many parents does Ariana have?

    I tried the link and it redirected to some weird error page! D: I’m clever enough to have copy-pasted the title into my google bar, but I thought I’d let you know.

    P.S. I love this comic and I’m so happy it’s back (and been back).

      The wolf is called Father as Father of the Family. I don’t get the impression that the wolf and Ariana are related by blood… I hope. Cool as a story may be, bestiality is where I draw the line. :)

      Though I did notice that all the human Family members are female and all the wolf Family members are male…
