Blocked Writing
I’ve always been amused by writers who “loosened up” with a glass of wine or a bottle of something. This was their way of getting into writing. Caffeine is my jump start to creativity… coffee gets the wheels moving and the gears goin’… and wine just puts me to sleep.
Yup, Rye is revealing himself to be more of a pushover all the time.
Beware the cow tippers.
Clive, who seems to be the real “puck” here, is in need of some intervention.
There were lots of liquor bottles were on his counter, floor, and likely sink in an earlier strip.
brig…Irish Coffees?
The idea is that a few drinks acts as a confidence boost. Not enough that the motor functions are severely impaired, but enough that the little voice that keeps screaming ‘you’re useless’ is drowned out.
There are better ways to gain self-confidence though, and they tend to be more permanent, as well. Drinking problems don’t make for good times.
Of course, Kit Marlowe showed us another side effect of boozing.
Two words: Irish Coffee.
Stick: Yes, the funny is that “Puck” is more Clive than Ryan. As for Ryan being a pushover… We all act differently “under the influence” of love (and this is the first we’ve seen of Ryan in love).Ryan’s decision making skills are put to the test in this his London chapter of life. Or maybe he just likes dark, rich, British Ales…
Booze plus coffee equals confusion…. should I be up? should I be down? GAH!
OK, I’m more awake now and have had a couple coffees.
Love how yet another ubiquitous bottle appears in the background.
Dang, Clive ought to invest in one of those camelback drink pouches, maybe a nice bota bag, or at least one of those trucker hats with drink holders on either side. Those dry periods, no matter how short in duration, must be excruciating for the poor alcoholic. The guy’s gotta being trying to drown out some seriously self-deflating stuff in his noggin.
Hey, speaking of pubs…can anyone name all the Brit flags that appear in my fan art pub pic?
hmm…if only the pic would blow up a bit bigger…the original is quite large…and the spot by the, uh, English flag (St. George’s Cross) would go away…it’s not in the original, nor it’s copies.
I guess he vented out his murderous rage enough to get to the pub. Venting has a curious way of actually leading to or exacerbating writer’s block. I’d say Rye ripped out about a chapter’s worth in that 6-word email to Randie.
E of O: Rage does have its place… it’s a good motivator. Get things going with Anger! It’s always worked for me! … but you’re right… it don’t solve writers/artists block.
British Ale….does that come with crumpets?
Jack,
No crumpets. That is for afternoon tea.
With beer, you get a packet of crisps.
Please bring me a beer, my Dear.
It’s dying of thirst, that I fear.
The man in the back, is ready to crack.
So bring me a beer, my Dear.
I drink much more than I ought-le.
So bring me just one more bott-le.
It cools my brain, it keeps me sane.
Just don’t let me near the thrott-le.
Please bring me a beer, my Dear.
It’s dying of thirst, that I fear.
The man in the back, is ready to crack.
So bring me a beer, my Dear.

Yes, I am dependent on coffee for my blog, 1000 words a day for over 900 days now. One of these days the well is going to run dry, and then I will be in a big pickle.
I like crumpets.
Joe… your beer ditty made me smile. Bring me a coffee, my… uh… toffee.
Opus… Let’s go get some joe!
Wow, awesome health news for us coffee-luv’in guys showed up on the news tonight.
Coffee helps prevent prostate cancer according to the Harvard School of Medicine.
Not just that, but the more you drink the better the findings and they tested for up to 6 cups/day.
Strangely, both caffeinated regular and decaffed unleaded work equally well.
Bring on the Vespid deliveries in pink…Cheers.
I’m more of a lager man, myself.
