Here are the pencils as they appeared on my sketchbook before I scanned in the artwork:

Excuse the dust as I remodel UNcubed with a fresh coat of paint, and some much needed consistency.

The website redesign for Uncubed was long overdue. The site now runs on ComicPress 2.5, bumped up from the venerable ComicPress 2.0. I’m pleased to report that the upgrade went very smoothly. The redesign from old to new took 5 hours.

When I launched UN3 last August, I made the decision to dip my toes into the ComicPress / Wordpress waters. I am very glad I did. The WP/CP combo makes managing and updating content a piece of cake. It freed me from the constraints of having to learn PHP / MySQL and, instead, allowed me to focus on making comics.

I’m very excited about the new look for UNcubed. Hope you dig it, too. Let me know your thoughts on the update!

You may have noticed that the comments section on this website has a small square where your avatar can appear. I was scratching my head earlier this morning, trying to figure out how to get my own avatar to appear. Thanks to the magic of Twitter, I learned that what I needed was a Gravatar (Global avatar).

How do you get one?

Go to Gravatar and sign-up. It’s fast, it’s free, and your gravatar will automagically appear the next time you post.

Best of all, no plug-in required!

We took this a few weeks back when we were at Disney World. Sonia hates hats of all types, this one included.

It’s hard for me to imagine, but we’ll be celebrating Sonia’s 1st birthday in two weeks. It seems as if it was just yesterday when we brought her home from the hospital…

The time has really flown by.

Parenting has been a real… adventure for us both. I wanted to share a few of my reflections on being a Dad, one year into the experience, especially for those of you out there who plan on having kids at some point in the near future. Without further ado, I present:

The Things I’ve Learned (so far) About Being a Dad:

1. I don’t need as much sleep as I did before.
2. I don’t get as much sleep as I did before.
3. I was petrified at first of changing Sonia’s diaper, but it became second nature after a week of regular diaper duty.
4. I am so lucky to have my Wife. I don’t know how Aarti manages to take care of me and Sonia so well. She’s a Super-Woman.
5. There are days where I feel like I’m not a good parent.
6. I’m much more safety conscious around the house.
7. I need to watch Sonia like a hawk. When the room is quiet, she’s probably up to mischief.
8. I love watching Sonia’s sense of wonder and excitement when she explores the world. It’s so pure and uplifting.
9. I’ve learned to let go when Sonia accidentally damages something I care about.
10. I don’t miss going out so much.

What have you learned about being a parent?
