Explanation (UPDATED)

Welcome. This is the temporary (knock on wood) home of Zumwalt (pronounced 'zoom-walt').

Once the real site is up and running everything here will go there.

The most recent comic is first in line. It was the other way around for a time. Finally I realized its kind of annoying to have to click forward multiple pages to get to the newest of the new.

Just click on the comic to see it in awe inspiring bigger size. This works with Firefox and Safari. IE...not so sure.

And yes, this post - as you can see from above - is from the future.

Updates will be sporadic for a time. Our iMac - the $2000 wind machine - is about to be shipped back to Appleland and a new hopefully trouble free iMac will come this way as if by magic - or FedEx - whichever.

Good time for it, too. The iMac has started randomly shutting itself off and on.

You might look at panel 3 and wonder, how is beatnik Leonard keeping those glasses on sans ear stem? That's just how cool he is, man.

This is the first Zumwalt strip I've written in at least 6 months. That's the glory of a vast backlog. And far as jokes go it's pretty lame, but the original ending of the slam arc was Del walking in on Boris in a school bathroom stall. See, alternative high schoolers don't lock bathroom stall doors. Funny, right? A universal issue we can all relate to. Ha ha.

I had time to fix Leonard's ear stems, but I've known people who didn't fix ear stems for whatever reason. It just goes with his style. Maybe he'll get that ear stem replaced once some peoples somewhere are no longer oppressed or more likely - being a beatnik - when his old lady gives him some dough. And by his old lady I don't mean beatnik Chloe but his actual wife. I know how beatniks are exactly like I know about alternative high school students and their proclivity for not locking bathroom stall doors.

The sheer chunk of dialog in panel two forced the orientation of the layout to a lengthwise Sunday style format.

Del holding up the sign in panel three seems almost too much, but it was that or turn him into a donkey and that would be one of those takes forever to get right undertakings.
