2018: Twelve Laughing Months from Andy Zach

You may ask why is my post entitled ‘2018: Twelve Laughing Months’? Because while working as a comic author and blogger I laugh almost every day. I invite you to share my laughter.

That’s a high standard for a blog! If I fall short, you can always make fun of me! Comment here if you like or dislike this post, or in the comment section below.

Twelve Laughing Months: January

Paranormal Privateers backcover. Can you find the hidden pictures?

So what funny thing happened in January? I finished writing my first draft of Paranormal Privateers, my Novel for November by NaNoWriMo. It’s funny, because you’re supposed to finish in November. It’s funny because I actually wrote the required 50,000 words in November–and was less than half done. I misplanned–badly.

After that struggle, I was ready for some humor: The Latest Zombie Humor From Around the Web.  

Here’s my favorite from that post:

Chickens from space!

There also this: Get Your Ridiculous On. That post has this video:

Bruce Lee with a light saber. What more could you want?
Following is February . . .

Twelve Laughing Months: February

February was worse for me as a writer–I had to edit my first draft. And I was under a time crunch. And my illustrator was behind. And my editor needed time. And I’d already committed to a launch date in May.

What’s funny about that? I kick off the month with Paranormal Super Bowl!

What happens when 100,000 zombie turkeys land during the Thanksgiving Day football game?

Then there is this educational video:

Aren’t you eager to use ‘crapulous’ in a sentence?

Moving on to March . . .


Twelve Laughing Months: March

What can be funnier than your own tombstone? The epitaph on it! It’s all in this blog post, Andy Zach’s Tombstone. But don’t worry–there’s still more to come!

Twelve Laughing Months: November

Naturally, I must start with the novel that climaxes on Thanksgiving day. Laugh at this except I read from my novel Zombie Turkeys. From blog post:A Zombie Turkeys Thanksgiving to You–Say What?

After Thanksgiving I went to Chambanacon, a relaxacon, a relaxed SciFi/Fantasy convention. Here’s a picture of me and Brenda Sutton, to give you the vibe there.
