I’m sure none of you with spouses have ever had this conversation. Nope. Not a one.
Chalk it to serendipity that after plotting this strip that I came across a recent blog post by Jon Acuff that beautifully encapsulates the growing problem with being too connected to our virtual playgrounds.
Are you really there when you’re physically there? How do you disconnect? Sound off in the comments below.

Here’s an alternate punchline I came up with, which could have worked:
Here are some redesigns I drew for Sonia. I’m still in the process for solidifying her design, but these are fairly close to what I have in mind. You can expect her to play more of a role in upcoming PC Weenies comics.

Time to explore another facet of the Weiner clan… to see how Bob reacts with his little girl.
Inks and colors will happen on Friday, but in the meantime, you can take a look at the rough pencils.

I’ve been fascinated by minimalism, as it applies to my workspace and desktop. The idea of “less is more” would have a lot more appeal, if I wasn’t such a sentimental pack-rat.
The thought of getting rid of perfectly working (but old) hardware makes me a little sad, for I tend to have a more emotional connection to things than I should. Not like the guy in the video below – who does a fantastic job with the limited space he has in his apartment. Take a look!
On a completely different note, I published a ‘toon on Sunday, and went through many, many unsatisfying drafts (some of which you have probably seen if you visited the site more than once yesterday). To that end, I’m running a Caption Contest.
Take a few moments and add your entry. The winner will get a digital copy of the PCW Super Sampler #3.
Thanks for your support!

My daughter Sonia has always been fascinated with drawing – here’s a quick video of her creating her latest masterpiece. She draws way better than I did at her age. :)

The wait in the hospital was excruciatingly long, but the emergency hospital staff was friendly and helpful. Sonia had her bloodwork done, and was strapped to an IV to replenish her fluids. Our hospital ordeal ended at 2AM on Friday morning. Our hospital had wireless, so I would post occasional tweets to update my friends on our status.
During this time, neither Aarti and I had our cell phones. Three days before, both our mobile phones inexplicably died. We’re not avid cell phone users, but at a time where we needed them the most, they weren’t working. The VOIP client Skype played a very important role, essentially serving as our communication channel with my parents, to keep them updated on our situation.
It was difficult to sleep, but I had to wake up 3 hours later and go into work. I had to wait an excruciating 12 hours before coming back home. Couple that with the fact that I didn’t have breakfast or much of a lunch, for that matter.
Thankfully, upon my return – Sonia was feeling better. One of our family friends cooked us a delicious Indian dinner at their place. Let me tell you, there’s nothing better than a hot, home cooked meal. I devoured it like there was no tomorrow. After we ate, we returned home – I took a shower and promptly passed out on my bed – waking up at 8AM this morning. Aarti and Sonia are both doing well.
I’m behind on all my e-mails, but rest assured, if you wrote me, you’ll get a reply. I would like to thank everyone for their concern and well-wishes. Your notes buoyed our spirits during an especially difficult time. Thank you.
