Dog day

It’s my sad duty to inform y’all that this week’s story is the final story for Dog versus Sandwich.
Changes in my personal circumstances, and an increasing squeeze on my time have meant I’ve had to make some tough decisions, and the administrative side of maintaining a weekly website has become more and more difficult to [...]

Turnaround Times

Also, a note on turnaround times.
Real life has intruded a little in the last few months and our current turnaround time is more like two or three months rather than one month.
I’m aiming to get this down to a faster time soon.

This week’s story

Forgot to blog before going to Conflux that there’d be no story this Monday. It’s kind of redundant, now that Monday has been and gone, but just so it’s official: there will be no story yesterday.

Bewaaaaare!

Also, it should be noted that the Dog and Foodstuff will be taking a short break next week, while I train a baby sealion to do my job and occasionally bring me stuffed olives and cheesy pasta.
We will return on the eighth of September. With bells on! (1)

A Short Paws

Dog Versus Sandwich will take a short break this week.
Now I know what you’re thinking: “You forgot there were five Mondays in June, didn’t you, Ben?”
Ahh haha! Ludicrous!
Hang your cynical head in shame!

Poetry: Journey to Jack-in-the-Box by Bruce Golden

It’s time to lighten the tone after all the serious tales of floating limbs and pus-filled houses. Sometimes it’s hard to say why a piece appeals to me. Is this a poem about stoners on a food run, or is it an evocation of the dissassociation and confusion of life itself?

Story: A Pox on All Your Houses… by Stephanie Campisi

I first encountered Steph Campisi’s writing while using it to fill potholes during my brief career as a stopgap during the early fifties. Steph understandably requested that I stop, and it’s fortunate for us both that we did, for that very night we encounterd a friendly bear who nursed us back to health and shared [...]
