Not that I’ve completed the full three years, but I’m feeling retrospective or introspective or like making a spectacle of myself or something, so my thoughts while nearing the conclusion of another year of Quacked Panes may be enjoyed forthwith.

Velan The Reticent
You may know him as “that guy responsible for Two Lumps,” but James L Grant is a multi-talented badass. Case in point? He’s about to self-publish the first in a planned series of riffs on the Conan mythos (The Barbarian, not The Ginger Talk Show Host) called “Velan The Reticent.”
And since he’s making it available as an ebook, I will purchase a copy for my Nook Color once he gets that bad boy out the door…

Two hundred of them?
I can’t believe that I’ve posted two hundred of these things over the course of nearly two years. Even more mind-boggling is that a few dozen people read them every week.

Christmas-y Things
First off, I would like to direct you over to that webcomic of mine for this year’s holiday event: The Quackvent Calendar 2010. (Last year the ducks presented The Twelve Days Of Christmas in their own off-kilter fashion. This year I decided that coming up with a second new set of lyrics was completely out of the question.)
On a wholly different note, may I just say that I cannot take all of this manufactured-hype “Cyber Monday” and “Cyber Wednesday” (Really guys? Really?) shopping stuff seriously. Why? Because once upon a time, I was a young man on the Internet.
Think about it.
