As I’m sure you all know, another school shooting has recently filled the headlines of newspapers across the country. This time, a popular teacher was shot in front of a classroom full of students in Florida. Another life was taken needlessly by a student who, by all reports, had never been a problem before.

Antzoid is my on-again-off-again comic strip character in the form of a giant ant. According to some stories he was a space ant, according to others he was a radioactive ant, but whatever the source of his bigness he was always darn weird. This version of his site was developed in 2000, and I’m always giving thought to starting the strip back up again (but never seriously). None of the original comics are actually in the site, and any rekindlings will be back on the random page (unless it becomes a pattern and he gets his OWN page!)
