Ohio State vs. Michigan. Thor vs. Loki. Mark Dantonio vs. dentistry.
And now, I give you... Baby Bo and Fielding.
On Thursday we'll start with a new string of Charlie-related strips pairing our own Michigan fanaticism with good ol-fashioned childhood optimism and creativity.
I'd also like to announce that next week I'm embarking on a good ol' American family vacation... As such, the regularly scheduled Tuesday and Thursday strips will tentatively run on the official site with an automated publish, but I'm not going to be putting together the Tuesday strip here on MGoBlog. So no Tuesday post next week.
THE BLOCKHAMS™ runs (typically) every Tuesday here at MGoBlog, and at least
every Thursday on its official home page. Also, don't forget to check out our newest
feature, Friday Roughs, a spontaneous low-end comic based on trending
Michigan events, available on Twitter and Facebook every Friday.

That time of year. Keep reading in the next few weeks to see what
kind of job Glenn has lined up for his youngest son, and the
adventures that will follow as a result.
On Thursday we'll catch up with young Charlie, still struggling
with his recent Involuntary Spartafication.

Recently ProfitGoBlue playfully suggested that I was running out of ideas for strips. Actually, it's quite the opposite. When an idea for a multi-strip story arc like this comes around, the hardest part has been weeding out the material into a handful of self-contained scripts.
In short, there's plenty of additional ideas that could have been fleshed out, for say, the 'LADIES MAN' arc... Glenn telling Tom about the Sparty dress-up, Bump in the bathroom doing his hair and putting on his Drakkar, Bump actually on the date, stuff like that. That'd be fine for a daily strip, but for a twice weekly release like The Blockhams, that'd drag the story into several weeks, perhaps even a month. So by the time it was all over, no one would care, even the ones like Seth who hate me for hating Bump. That was a joke, btw.
All content aside, I'm curious to hear what you, the readers prefer-- self-contained, single stories or these multi-strip plots. The singles are easier for me to create, and certainly keep me from neglecting other members of the cast... but creatively speaking, the arcs have their own rewards as well.
Take for example, today's strip... I think it's safe to say that no one saw this coming, not even myself.
On Thursday we'll conclude the LADIES MAN story arc with an... epilogue of sorts.

Today's strip is dedicated to all of those who have voiced their frustration that
nothing good ever happens to Bump, or that I just like to torture the Sparty brother.
So now that ol' Chalmers has caught a break, what will happen next? You'll have
to keep reading over the next few weeks to see what I've got in store for him.
OnThursday Tom and Charlie will gear up for the NFL Draft.

Mobile Internet, while cheaper, more exciting, and often much faster...
is never to be substituted for reality.
