Hello, My name is Karl Habegger. I am an Amish-American male and through therapy, I am dealing with all of the pacifist baggage that comes with my heritage. I like long walks on the beach, paper towels and drawing. I own so many black t-shirts, I must be like the incarnation of Art or something.
Wait! Who is that handsome fellow on the left (no, your left)? Oh, it is me. Only I have used technology to change my appearance. Now I am meta-handsome or somesuch.
Welcome to The Replacement Komics. You will find that The Replacement Komics tell the story of something or another. I'm almost sure of it.

Dale and I both like to wear plastic buckets on our heads. It lends an otherwise missing dignity to our beings.

After overhearing salacious talk of bacon, Mr. Manheimer began construction of his balloon. After a few false starts he is now on his way to a bright future.

I took one of the sketches I did for Antithesis Art and reworked it into a t-shirt idea. There is a site called “Threadless” that takes artwork submitted by the community and lets members vote on it. If it gets enough votes, they pay you for it and print it. This is my first time posting anything over there.
he first 24 hours are crucial. I need loads of 5 scores and “I’d Buy it” check-marks to stay in the competition. There is no obligation. Signing up is free. Scoring is free. Everything is free except buying shirts.

I’ve been busy elsewhere. I’m working with my friend Richard to start a new website called Antithesis Art. We hope it will be a launching point to build a community of artists locally in East Texas. Check it out when you get a chance.

I found a couple of illustrations I did earlier this year. I’m going to post them up over the next few days in order to keep the content going while I’m working on the code. I hope you enjoy them.

The CSS is coming right along. I still have a long way to go, but I am having to relearn the basics and learn some advanced as I go. I am surprised I’ve gotten this far in Internet Programming without learning more than the few snippets of CSS I already knew.
The other thing I am dabbling in at the moment is MySQL. I’m using it to keep track of the images and their titles, etc. I’m not very savvy yet, but I’ve appropriated some code off of the PHP documentation web site to use in the meantime.

Well that did not take as long as I expected.

nnouncement: I am changing hosts and rewriting the site in PHP. After I rewrite the site in PHP, I will rewrite the site in CSS. Then maybe I will offer a couple of different skins for the site. All of this is going to count as artwork in my head so I can justify not sketching while I do it.
Also, during this whole process artwork is going to disappear slowly until the new site is rewritten in PHP. I will put a link here when done. Thanks for your patience!
