To see the other 2 slightly more risque pages of this classic story from '97 that I just finished painting in color, and all in really high-rez detail, go to nedsonntag.com. My characters get abducted by Reptiloids so that you folks won't have to.

Music for Moody Swingers!!

The Philip K. Dick Special on the Science Channel last nite shifted my PreCog gears and thus I am forced to reveal the hot new recording-consumer medium for 2024 ...a dozen years early. Wrigley LaRoque has recovered enough from cryogenesis to cut a Lounge Album...  CDs have already been obsolete for a decade so Pharm Marches On...

Crescent Cosmology Conjuration Consultation!!

Apropos of nothin' but strange synchronicities, TCM's showing this afternoon of the cheezy CASABLANCA-ripoff TIMBUKTU from '58 got me to scribble out a sketch I'd been meaning to do for some time for my Graphic Novel Outline.  'Mombasa Moon' seems to be emerging as one of the Good characters within its murky Gnostic Cosmology... It was 51 degrees downtown and 7:17pm on 11/8/11 when I scanned what I'd just scribbled~ this in a tiny old sketchbook that I've lately labelled my Personal Sync Log. Upon finishing I was sync'ed to realize the notes on the adjoining page were written on 11/8/91 ~precisely 20 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Nedster's birthday being 7/17/51 for those not following the breadcrumb trail...

Boopcard Update!

A flurry of interest in my Classic bizcard on Facebook reminds me to post the semi-new card with the semi-new studio-address in effect since StPaddy's Day of '10!! 

Happy Dagon Day!!!

Received a Request at Big Collage Hell Night from a PR*M*T*M* reader to post this goodie from 3 1/2yrs ago, before Samhain escapes us altogether...

Sonntag 'Sells Out' for a Freebie!!!

Yes my 'interview' is on pg28 of the Cape Cod Times' free-tabloid PRIMETIME's November issue.  Started out as a favor-to-a-friend... at least by now I was prepared for the usual protracted Murdochian debacle that followed.  After months of secrecy I convinced Erin Healy to let me factcheck it prior-to-press... A week elapsed between that concession and my convincing her that I had to basically rewrite the whole thing, and getting past the hurdle that CCTimes' SkyNews-high Journalistic Standards strictly forbid interviewees to rewrite their interviews.  Literally a whole Monday-thru-Friday the 10th thru the 14th having to be at the monitor all day to convince, explain and rewrite... So it then, once I rewrote it(!) had to undergo the garble-filter, much as did my writing of my late wife's Obituary in '06(which I had to remind Erin about)... Because They're Smarter Than Us!!  That's their Job!!  I'm attaching up above, the illustration(you readers already saw it in b&w last July) which I colored to comply with her demand that I do PRIMETIME a free "self-portrait" to accompany the article.  Why?  Because having told me the illo would need to fill 8 inches of width, the crack Murdochian crew ran it 2 1/4" inches in width.  So this way... you CC2day regulars can actually SEE it.   But don't blame me for the weird syntax and DON'T ask me when DCOVEFI? will "be published."  This episode further convinces me that the Print Medium is NOT the right one for it.
