HOPELESSLY ADDICTED
My name is Karyl and I’m an addict. Coming from Hollywood, where everyone’s an addict, it’s important
to have the right addiction. Having last year’s addiction is the kiss of death in au currant tinsel town.
Naturally I have the right addiction.
Nevertheless, I got myself pierced and tattooed to make sure the tastemakers would know I’m a truly hip
person with the right addiction. I’m addicted to the internet. I’m logged on the internet from breakfast to
bedtime. Know what I call a Hilton without a high-speed internet hook-up? Camping.
To be honest, it’s more than the internet that I’m obsessed with - it’s one website on the internet; a
website so fantastic, I have to visit it every day! If I don’t log on to this website, every second that I’m
fighting my urge by NOT being logged on, I’m THINKING about BEING logged on – so what’s the
difference!? I might as well log on and be happy, right?
The site is sccs-onlong.org. In the interest of self-disclosure, the designer and webmaster is Jack
Zabawa, a guy I know pretty well. Sccs-online.org has everything I want in a website: It’s fun to look at, it’
s interesting and it’s constantly updated with the newest and most current information! That’s right, I said
constantly updated. You never know when you log on if you’ll go “Wow, something’s new! That’s so
cool. I didn’t know that!”
SCCS-online.org has something for everybody. There are links to SCCS member’s websites (the
hottest go-to page statistically). There’s Member News and a BLOG if you like to read, and tons of
original SCCS original cartoons if you don’t. There’s a scrapbook full of absolutely beautiful color photos
of you and your cartoonist friends taken at just about every SCCS meeting and event! You can right
click any photo, enlarge it and print it out to keep foreverandever! Need the Emails of the new SCCS
Member Board? It’s on the site. Wondering when’s the next meeting, who’s speaking and where it is? It’
s on the site! Need a map to the meeting that you can print out? It’s on the site! In fact, the next five
months of meeting announcements are listed right on the front page.
Sccs-online.org is also multi-media. Yes, just when you thought the website couldn’t get any better,
there are video clips posted. You heard me right, video clips. Due to the efforts of the two Jacks (White
and Zabawa) there are now four 10-minute video drawing lessons starring SCCS members Joe Schmidt,
Doreen Douthit, John Wismont and Janet Williams. The lessons are diverse, delightful and they’re free.
One word of caution - Don’t even think about putting together some sort of intervention party to save me
from my sccs-online.org obsession. I’m not interested in quitting this addiction any time soon!
Ohmygawd! They just added a Dry T-Shirt Contest!
See U on-line!
