Here’s last time we saw Clango playing “murder the vermin” with Roger: DS #801.
The poor little guy’s been getting edged out by Jon Stamos because his orange fur doesn’t show up so well in black & white.
Watch this space for a super-limited run shirt to hit the e-web tomorrow. As foretold in prophecy on Livejournal)

I was blown away by former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel’s performance in the Democratic party debates the other day. I mean, I liked Howard Dean … but Gravel actually got the first political contribution I’ve ever made in my life. I hope this guy at least gets to stay in the race and keep talking. [...]

Hey, April’s almost over and I’ve been so busy using Photoshop as a verb that I haven’t had time to properly celebrate the seventh birthday of DS. I’m jusssst about keeping up on comics deadlines and teaching myself to work a little faster every day. I can’t believe it’s been seven years. That’s longer than [...]

I think this might be the most patriotic comic I have ever drawn. Alert the President! (Clinton, if I can pick a fun one.)
I doubt it’s a strictly legal sentiment, but I thought the second-to-last panel in DS #1733 warranted separation into a little blog badge / Myspace image for you anime and film fans:

Due to peer pressure and an NPR piece about its comeback, vinyl is on my mind lately. I’ve even bought a few weird records “just to have them.” (Weird stereophonic 60s percussion and my favorite Fiery Furnaces album, Rehearsing My Choir)
I do not actually own a record player. My last one was brown, plastic and [...]

I know I haven’t had much to say about newspaper strips recently, it’s because I haven’t had much confirmed news. Blogging without fact-checking is not a mistake I enjoy making.
Thanks to long-time reader David Lay, I have news AND a photo of colorized DS in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. I have to say, they got the [...]

This newly archived print comic from 4/13 is a prime example of the kind of archaic language one must use in order to introduce some vulgarity to the family paper. Other methods of dirtying things up include the “Boondocks Special”: using the term “beeeyyootcchh” before it was well-known to the average joe.

The second panel of DS #1727 is one of about 10 snippets of dialogue I’ve ever written that I absolutely, unequivocally agree with. It is also a fine example of why I’m not very much fun to hang out with. Lo, this comic has become … a BLOG. (dun dun dunnnn, etc.)
(Admittedly today’s archived print [...]

By no means do I think I have anything particularly interesting to say about the passing of Kurt Vonnegut. I will say that he seemed like an absurd, funny, insightful guy who wrote books I could not help but finish. That’s pretty much everything I’d like to be.
Rock on, big guy.

I should be drawing right now, but I started reflecting on how DS is just about to hit its seventh birthday and started writing down a ton of things I’ve learned since the long-lost era of the year 2000. I think a lot of these points apply to blogs as well as comics. I hope [...]
