A Call for Guest Comics!

News: August 11th, 2008

With the impending arrival of my firstborn son looming somewhere over the nearby time horizon, I’ve been thinking that it would be prudent to put some plans in place so that Life of Ronnie can continue even if new fatherhood results in me getting behind.  Working ahead isn’t really in the cards, so I call [...]

BTW, I’m Having a Baby

News: May 9th, 2008

Well, okay, my wife is actually having the baby. Many of you already knew this, but I thought I should spread the good news on here too. We’re due at the end of September. Yay!


What a cutie, eh? Looks just like me.  Roll over for [...]

Pardon Our Dust!

News: March 25th, 2008

I’m in the midst of attempting an upgrade to the blogging software I use for Life of Ronnie (Wordpress, featuring a heavily modified version of the incredible Comicpress theme by Tyler Martin) so if you see anything go wonky, that’s why!

St. Patrick? More like… St. Keeps-Me-Out-Too-Late!

News: March 17th, 2008

Me apologies, lads and lassies, but the new comic will come tomorrow! And a foin, foin comic it’ll be.
(I asked my wife to come up with a hilarious Irish cliché to use in this post, but all she could come up with was “I dunno. . . corned beef?” so that was the best you’ll [...]

Life of Ronnie comes to Facebook!

News: February 23rd, 2008

So, Facebook is really popular with the kids these days, as a place for “social networking”, which really is just fancy internet-speak for “chillin’ with mah peeps, yo”, if I understand it correctly.
I recently stumbled upon this great little application made by Mike Phillips of Apathetic Rant, which, after some customization and tweaking, will allow [...]

There Will Be… Movies!

News: January 28th, 2008

So now that I’ve seen all five of the Academy Award nominees for Best Picture, I thought I’d throw my two cents (Canadian) out there about what I think:
Atonement
In any other year, this is probably the film that would be a lock for Best Picture. It’s the kind of sweeping, romantic period piece that the [...]

Rest in Peace, Grandma Lois

News: December 10th, 2007

My wife’s Grandma Lois passed away on Friday, so we are driving down to Oregon today for the funeral.
I lost both of my grandmothers in the last few years, and even when they are getting old and are ready to move on to a better place, it still makes it rough. One can always [...]

Ask Maridee

News: November 26th, 2007

I met Scott and Georgia Ball a couple of years ago now, when I joined a local cartooning club that meets in Seattle. I immediately fell in love with their comic. Back then it was called “Scooter and Ferret”, soon morphing into “Ask Maridee” when the titular Scooter (a dog) and Ferret [...]

Halfway to Paradise

News: September 14th, 2007

Anna and I off to Orlando tonight for a fun-and-sun-filled week with the rest of the Routly clan, so my plan is to do a couple of comics on the road. Should they be up late, you can blame Walt Disney, or possibly the good people at Universal. Or maybe someone at Medieval Times.  I [...]

Not tonight!

News: August 27th, 2007

Hey, just wanted to let you all know that today’s comic is going to be a little late getting up. Being away camping all weekend, and then out day and night both today and tomorrow is going to make it difficult to get it finished the way I’d like. But I will get it [...]
