and compulsive liar is the author of seventy-seven books,
all of which topped the best-seller lists. Neil McKernan, casual humorist and mal
vivant, operates out of a sunny Dickensian sweat-shop in
Sydney, Australia. He is a published author having left
caustic commentaries, in scrawly handwriting, in many of the
world's most expensive library books.
Daze of Our Lives is a comic strip that combines engraving
art from the 19th Century with the irreverent and ironic
humor of Martin Archer.
Daze is no longer updated, but the Archives
contain all editions from when the site began, September
1st 1999 to the 445th and last from
March 1st 2002, so be our guest and "binge-surf"
for a bellyful of Daze.

Daze as a greeting to a friend. You can even send them

The Author
(and the very irregular Help)
The Dazed Author
Martin Archer
Speaks nineteen languages, all but eighteen of them
fluently.
He spends most of his time on the west coast, living in the
luxurious Daze Manor, performing vital research, having
splendid adventures and behaving eccentricly.
Your comments are welcome at: mart@dazeofourlives.com.
Being the sensitive artist that he is, he guarantees to take
them all far too seriously, and, if you provide your name
and address, will actually come to visit you where you live,
unexpectedly one day, (probably when you've just shampooed
your hair) in order to deal with any criticisms
personally.
The Very Occasional Dazed Author
(Hasn't contributed an entry since
discovering "Ennui")
pictured here actually achieving Nirvana
...but possibly dead.
Supine and reposed beyond compare he cannot remember the
last time has sat up straight, but thinks it was a Tuesday
at his Mother's. A keen amateur scientist, Neil shampooed
his hair only last week but was very disappointed with the
results. Casual acquaintances all agree he should get out
more; those he has dated think he should stay in and keep
quiet.
His interest in late Victorian imagery stems from an
incident in his younger days which he would rather not
expand on. He is also very fascinated by the effects of
cheese.
His ambition in life is to achieve a state of Nirvana with
an overwhelming sense of peace and love for all of God's
creatures. You have been warned.
