A most amusing and innovative account of the myriad adventures of an 18th-century rapscallion and rogue whose quotidian missives are "posted" on the "Inter-net" in the form of one of the notorious and scandalous "weblogues".

In other words, think Jane Austen meets Dennis the Menace. Designed to be funny and witty, and to make Dennis the Menace enjoyable (and make Dennis a menace) again, even if that means warping the characters into nasty, nasty grown-ups. Additionally, many of the the supporting characters are from other comics or literature. Based, very loosely, on this The Comics Curmudgeon bit.

Unfortunately, it's been at a dead stop since September of 2008.
