Hello!
It’s been a crazy week of topical happenings. I think I will avoid talking about them just because they’ve all been discussed to death. Except for the New Zealand Breakers Basketball team winning the Australian National Basketball League Championship. I’ve been following this team from day one, and it was really very cool to see them win the whole thing. Well deserved, after they dominated the entire season. Congrats to them.
I’ve been enjoying that new Beastie Boys album a lot. The throw back party vibe is great, and the short film accompanying the album release was really cool. If you have not seen it, check it out.
Hope your week has been a good one so far!
Thanks for reading,

Hey everyone,
Long weekend is now over. At least we still get the benefits of a short week though, right? If you are in Australia and New Zealand, you would have also been remembering everyone who served for our respective countries with ANZAC day being on Monday.
What a busy weekend it was! Full of catching up with people, and following basketball results. In both cases, the teams I followed did not have good results. However, it was still fun. I missed out on tickets for game three of the final for the NZ Breakers though, which sucks.
Hopefully you enjoyed your Easter break as well!

Hello again,
Adam sure does know how to get himself into some awkward situations doesn’t he? Still, he is trying at least, right?
Watched some of the Coachella festival while it was streaming live on YouTube this weekend. Pretty amazing stuff. I’m sure anyone who went had a great time. I enjoyed it, and I was watching from the comfort of my chair. A little cheaper than flying to California. Maybe one day?
What did you get up to this weekend? Anything exciting?

Hey everyone!
I hope the week has started well for you. I made this page while excessively playing that new Beastie Boys track that dropped last week. Then, when I wanted to mix it up, I played the Passion Pit remix. I think I have it out of my system now. It’s a pretty good party jam. If the trailer for the short film they’re putting together is anything to go by, it should be a fun album!
The weekend was mostly spent investigating how I might put together the next ActionMan Adam comic, and what pages would be in it. I think I have something now. I’m going to start working on it in between comic pages. I’m looking forward to it. Always good to have a project!

Hi all!
Welcome to the beginning of Chapter 5! My thanks again to Robin Hotter for the comic last week. It allowed me to get a few days ahead and take an extra day off. It was like having a long weekend, or something?
This past weekend my wife had me booked in to see a doco flick that she wanted to see. It turned out to be a really interesting movie that was screened here as a part of the World Cinema Showcase that Auckland put on. The film was called “Bill Cunningham – New York” and was about a legendary street style photographer of fashion in New York City, surprisingly enough, named Bill Cunningham. It was a pretty engaging watch. Bill Cunningham is a really cool guy, who is now in his 80′s and still riding around Manhattan on a bicycle, documenting clothing that he finds interesting. He has a great affable quality about him, and I admired the way he never compromises his own morals for the sake of money. If you get the chance, and the subject matter interests you – check it out!
Meanwhile, are you a social media fiend? Don’t forget you can keep up to date with ActionMan Adam on the official Facebook fanpage. Or if you want, you can keep in check with me via Twitter, Flickr or my Tumblr blog as well as the comments section on this site.

Hey everyone,
As I mentioned last week, this week I am running a guest strip while I start work on the beginning of another chapter for my own storyline. Robin Hotter was the man nice enough to supply today’s comic. Robin can usually be found at his own website, or generally the comments area on this site. Make sure you go check his Deviant Art site for more of his art.
This dude has twin daughters – so believe me, with all the responsibilities he has to meet at home, I really appreciate him stepping up and delivering a great comic for me to run here. He even waited patiently for a few weeks for me to figure out how to wrap up my Party storyline before I could run his page.
Thank you kind sir, I really appreciate the comic – it looks great!

Hey everyone,
Hope you’ve been enjoying this storyline. This is the end of Chapter 4. I had fun making it. Though I will admit, all the earthquakes and the like made it hard to push through with it at times. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading it.
Next week I will be running a guest comic in between the break in Chapters. I’m looking forward to getting that up, as I have been sitting on it for a little while. The artist who kindly donated it has been very patient with me, as I worked my way through this story.
Then it’s on to Chapter 5!
Thanks for reading,

Hey all!
Hope this week has been treating you well. It’s been a rough old time in 2011 hasn’t it? I think just a couple of weeks ago I was recounting all these horrible disasters that have happened around the world in close frequency – and then the worst one yet, hit. The loss of life and destruction caused by that enormous tsunami is frightening. Here is hoping that the Japanese Government can successfully halt this impending nuclear meltdown soon. It is truly scary stuff. Japan, we love you!
Not much to report on my end, really. I hope the world catches a break soon. I think we all need some good news. Someone should organise a free ice cream day or something?

Today’s comic took a while to finish up. If you’ve been waiting for it, I apologise for the delay and hope you enjoy it. This one was actually based on a factual event. My friends Richard, Matt, Adam and I all went to a party and conversation always seems to start with talk about geographical location when you have a couple of guys from North America with you. Eventually there was some mild ribbing about Canada vs the USA, and without missing a beat Adam just calmly responds “It’s just great to be around all you Aussies”. Oh man, it was perfectly timed, and a well executed burn/response. I laughed pretty good with that one. Well done, sir. Now everyone can enjoy it – immortalised in comic form.
Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending a wedding of good friends of ours. However it was a terrible day weather wise and it was supposed to be a beach wedding. The whole drive there it was just pouring rain. Fortunately as we decended upon the beach everything cleared right up. It was great. We had the lovely intimate ceremony on the beach. The waves crashing in the background. Very appropriate as the bride and groom both lived out there, and the groom is a surfer.
No sooner had photos been taken and people were making their way back to the reception in their vehicles, it started raining again. The break in the weather was absolutely timed to perfection. Couldn’t have been better. It was good times all around.
Then a couple of days ago this happened not so far away from my house. Kinda crazy right?
Hope everyone else has had a good week.

If you had a head like that, imagine how much easier your trips to the dentist would be? Seriously, it would save a lot of grief I’m willing to bet.
Another busy week is reaching an end. Crazy that we’re already into March for 2011 isn’t it? On the drive into work the other morning I saw the trees were already losing some of their green luster. I guess that means soon enough they’ll be bare again, and down in the Southern hemisphere here, we’ll be facing colder weather. After a very humid summer, I don’t think I’ll be complaining too much about it. It’s been a rough summer after all. Floods in Queensland and Victoria. Bush Fires in Western Australia. Another big quake in Christchurch. Let’s hope it all settles down soon.
This weekend will be another busy one. I’ll see you all here next week.
