So I was planning to publish a post today that I’ve wound up working on for a week, and it’s still not quite done. Between it and last week’s video, I’ve apparently decided to start focusing on posts that require more time to put together than my entire readership will collectively spend looking at them. I think it’s an ingenious plan.
It’s going to be an epic post, though, I hope. Not in length, don’t worry.
So until tomorrow, a reminder about the jaw-droppingly amazing contest that Jules over at Go Jules Go and I are hosting! There’s still a week to enter. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Then watch my video and/or her video to get the details!
Do know what I’m talking about? Please watch them again, anyway. Please? We, seriously, spent an ungodly amount of time on them.
Anyway, tomorrow’s post features stick-figure drawings! I know, right? You can read the “prequel” here. And here’s a sneak preview for tomorrow:
See you tomorrow! I hope!

Okay. You can wait one more day, Jules. You can do this.
P.S. – I don’t know what you’re talking about. My vlog only took 15 minutes. Times 15. Times another 500. Hours. I like to keep things simple, too.

I’ve built it up too much in my mind, after working on it this much. I love it. I fully expect Word Press to just crash. Then they’ll get it running again and shut it down, because what’s the point? It’ll be the Cit-K of blog posts.
December 10, 2012 at 3:27 am
I promise I will spend more than 13 minutes looking at this.
December 10, 2012 at 6:26 am
Very kind of you. And Santa will know if you don’t. I’m just sayin’.
December 10, 2012 at 3:33 am
I must say, I am very impressed at the stick figure boobs.
December 10, 2012 at 6:25 am
“Stick figure boobs” were my major in junior high.

Hooker with a heart of gold? I can’t wait.
December 10, 2012 at 1:13 pm
I wonder if you could go in to a brothel and specifically ask for a hooker with a heart of gold…
December 10, 2012 at 3:55 am
I think you underestimated how long it takes me to read your brilliance Each line must be read – then re-read (without moving lips). Savoring every word…
December 10, 2012 at 6:24 am
I like to imagine everyone out there savoring each post. Clapping there hands with glee as they go in to their reader or email in-box. “Squeee! The new Byronic Man is here! The new Byronic Man is here!”
I accept that this may be optimistic, though.

“…posts that require more time to put together than my entire readership will collectively spend looking at them.”
Welcome to my world. 😉
December 10, 2012 at 6:22 am
WordPress should add a feature that freezes the screen when people go to a post. They can’t click away until they’ve spent an amount of time proportional to how long it took to write.
December 11, 2012 at 3:48 pm
Goodness. Mine too!
December 11, 2012 at 3:49 pm
And by the way, my comment was in response to Dyanne’s.
December 10, 2012 at 5:29 am
Contest? There’s a contest? Hasn’t Renee already won that thing already, whatever it may be? Nah, doesn’t ring a bell.
Stick figure boobs seem to be somewhat incongruent. But I’ll allow it.
December 10, 2012 at 6:21 am
Somehow I think meticulously crafted cartoon boobs would be more psychologically revealing. And disturbing.
December 10, 2012 at 11:37 am
I don’t think I’m allowed to win anymore contests in these here parts. So I don’t even try. It’s learned helplessness. 🙂
December 10, 2012 at 5:35 am
So you’re either getting too much sleep or not enough. Let me guess. 😉
December 10, 2012 at 6:20 am
I think I’m getting so little that I’ve actually lapped “too much.”
December 10, 2012 at 6:31 am
“posts that require more time to put together than my entire readership will collectively spend looking at them.”
That’s every post I’ve ever written. Without a doubt.
I look forward to your whopper tomorrow.
December 10, 2012 at 1:13 pm
If it’s not any good, don’t tell me. I might cry.
December 10, 2012 at 6:42 am
Primo stick figures, Byronic. Really super. And what’s the problem with epic-long posts? I write them all the time and clearly it works because I have 163 (precious and prized) followers after 21 months of blogging.
December 10, 2012 at 1:14 pm
I love stick-figures. I don’t know why. There so simplistic and goofy, and yet you can create such a versatile arrangement with them.
December 10, 2012 at 7:31 am
Does is it start out with, “A prostitute walks into a bar…” 🙂
Hey I am not sure if you saw my comment, but I will be entering in your contest. Today I will embark on the cutting and pasting marathon after drawing and printing all weekend… I think I am out of my mind hand making all of them, but it is what I do…. every…. year.
December 10, 2012 at 1:15 pm
I just saw that! That’s excellent news. You won’t be sorry. Well, maybe you will, I don’t actually know that.
And typing that has made me realize that we have to pick winners. I hate that part. I failed to think that far ahead.
December 10, 2012 at 8:09 am
You had me at “prostitute.” I’ll be here tomorrow.
December 10, 2012 at 1:16 pm
I’m curious to see what kinds of search engine hits it gets.
December 10, 2012 at 9:14 am
Stick figure boobs. That’ll get anyone’s attention. 🙂
December 10, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Hey, aren’t you supposed to in the receptionless wilds?
December 11, 2012 at 11:50 am
I am, but what can I say…just can’t resist stick figure boobs.
December 10, 2012 at 11:00 am
I was just thinking this morning (and I’m serious!) that I could do a series of hooker posts. I have three hooker stories to tell, one happened Friday, and it involved eighth graders and hobbits. That’s all.
Can’t wait for more pervy art.
December 10, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Fair warning: very little of it is pervy. I just thought that image made for a great “What the hell?” teaser.
And I can only imagine that a post involving hookers and hobbits would lead to a large number of search engine hits – some of them disturbingly specific.
December 10, 2012 at 11:39 am
First of all, I did not give you permission to use my likeness in your stick figure drawing. I assume there will be a royalty check coming. I mean, those are clearly my boobs. Sheesh.
December 10, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Well, your teased hair and thick eye-shadow is just to die for.
December 10, 2012 at 1:01 pm
An epic post about your most successful pick-up lines? Neat!
December 10, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Dude! Spoiler alert!
December 10, 2012 at 5:23 pm
I feel like you based your prostitute on the stick figure version of myself I drew for my mug giveaway. I’m flattered.
December 10, 2012 at 9:40 pm
I would enter your contest, but having a pillowcase with one’s high school speech teacher’s face on would be /way/ too weird.
That said, I am one of the people who squees with glee when a Byronic Man post shows up in my email.
December 10, 2012 at 10:49 pm
Your stick figure is sexier than mine. (I am pouting.)
