If last week’s part of The Wizard’s Lesson by P’u Sung Ling didn’t have enough violence or blood for you, then please accept this next helping:
Next week we begin our visit of hell, kids!
I like drawing.
Love,
benjamin
The Wizard’s Tale‘s descent into madness continues. I’m giving you last week’s comic and this week’s together, for a bit of continuity for these panels.
Next time?
EVEN MORE GRAPHIC OF VIOLENCE!
I provide it for you because I love you. And because I love this story.
Also, my Halloween costume continues apace. It’s going well. đ
Also also, Nadja and I have been watching some incredible horror films this Halloween. On Thursday I’ll post some stuff about ’em.
Love,
benjamin
Ow.
We’re mad crazy busy at Stone Robot Enterprises with Halloween costuming and various other things–you should look at our lastest SRE post, involving our response to the Steven Salaita issue–but I’m going to keep these pages coming, possibly at a slightly faster rate.
I’m really enjoying doing these, and I think I might…well, I might be improving. But don’t count on it yet. Wait until I start my project of doing every single card in a Tar–oh, details about that can come later.
After you’ve caught up with The Wizard’s Lesson so far, please to enjoy the latest page.
It’s gonna get a bit gruesome soon, kids.
I can’t wait.
Love,
benjamin

Are you wondering what all of this âbenjamin being attacked by lettersâ was all about?
I doubt it, but if you look below youâll find that the last page pulls a Clarissa and explains it all:
On January 30, 2005, I first used the term âThings I Canât Drawâ on LiveJournal, regarding The Day I Saw An Unidenfitied Flying Object, a story for some class that I drew when I was in about 2nd or 3rd grade.
On January 2, 2006, I did my first entire page of TICD, because I was bored near a pen and a sheet of printer paper. I had so much fun, and that coffee-maker still looks good…but wtf laptop?
Now, in October 2014, itâs time to retire the title.
Thing I Canât Draw belong to the ages.
Sure, itâs taken eight years for me to accept it completely, but I can draw; I simply have a very unique style. It takes me far longer than you would thinkâI can draw, but itâs difficultâand thatâs totally fine, because I love the fuck out of doing it. Iâve been getting better as time goes on, and can easily finish things in one night that used to take me two or three.
The Wizardâs Lesson is a great example of this, and I have a page already uploaded and ready to post on Thursday. I start another tonight and may even have it ready for the same post.
The moral of the story is that you can all stop telling me that I really can draw, because Iâve finally acknowledged it. The next person who derides my derision can go screw. đ
Now, if youâll excuse me, these bastards arenât going to fold themselves:
Love,

Hey kids!
As some of you may know, my brain doesn’t always get words right. It’s always been a problem with my gray matter, but the older I get, the more my brain misfires and makes me sound like I’m having a stroke.
I don’t always keep track of them, but I’m starting to, and I’m going to start drawing as many of them as I can. The first one was a misfire while talking to Nadja about a recipe I was going to make with a number of onions, which aren’t Nadja’s stomach’s favorite if they’re not very cooked. I was asking about a change I could make.
Please enjoy my first I Don’t Words Talk Right:
Doing a completed drawing every few days isn’t exactly #Inktober, but #Drawtober works just fine with me.
Tomorrow you might have the horrifyingly blood-soaked very strange next bit of The Wizard’s Lesson as well as a bit about the best new horror movie I’ve seen in ages.
Love,
benjamin
Who’d crystallize YOUR onions any day….
Nadja and I were going to participate in #Inktober, but since so much of my art is based on the structure and not the inking itself, we’re just sorta doing #Drawtober.
I did two last night to catchup. The first one is a throwaway that was inspired by Nadja telling me to draw “a guy smashing a city.”
The second is the penultimate one in my recent and confusing series of me being abused by gravity and my own letters.
I’ve got very little else, because I had an entry planned for writing and then a filling tore out of the middle of a tooth, so now I’m hurty and about to go to the dentist.
Anyroad, here you go. The Wizard’s Lesson resumes next week, and the daily draws will continue.
Love,
benjamin
…and then he next-to-last-page of…
