LOLBOTS = WHAMMO

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Never underestimate the power of the internet! LOLBOTS got so insane in the past day, that it’s coming on and off-line sporadically. So that SOME of them are still visible in the meantime, my five favorite images are behind the cut:

LOL BOTS

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

I do not say GREATEST BLOG OF ALL TIME lightly, if ever. (it would require admitting blogs were good)
Move over LOL CATS, LOL BOTS is coming to assimilate you. Most people eat lunch at lunch. I start stupid blogs.

Translated From the Original Kitten

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

As kind of seen in today’s comic, I have a theory that cats are not the aloof jerks they are made out to be by the MEDIA BIGWIGS. They care as much as one can care about gigantic, bizarre, incomprehensible intelligences with the power to summon food from the air and wiggle toys around with [...]

End-of-Week Blogdump, Now 23% More Fun

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Regarding DS #1755: I’m half-Polish, judgemental and a huge fan of Kosher dills. This comic is me if I were a woman.
I’m going to SHOCK you by saying this week’s Sunday comic was fun to draw! What a shocker, dinosaurs and volcanos are fun. I think I’ll dedicate it to the charming and gigantic Ryan [...]

Braps From the Past

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Tonight’s topic comes from talking to a certain excellent webcartoonist about neighborhoods she’s been looking at in and around New York. It was fun to have to look at old-style Indie Rock Pete (clipped from DS #174) and think about just how much the look of that dude has changed over the years. I think [...]

ROLL… I mean “SELL OUT”

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

As you can probably tell from DS #1751, Johnny Toaster and myself are a bit skeptical about the Transformers movie that’s supposed to come out this summer. I say “supposed to come out” because I believe I can prevent it by thinking really, really hard.

Folks keep asking me to print that silly Colorado: We Are [...]

Here’s a smattering of emails, links, suggestions and thoughts on coffee for your Friday reading pleasure. (or penance)

Cutting Directors

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

I was pretty happy with the art and some of the gags in today’s archived Sunday comic, but I couldn’t get away with the joke I wanted in the last panel in papers. I’m archiving both the original print version and my somewhat dirtier web-friendly version so that you can compare and contrast.
PS: We’re ordering [...]

Newspapers, Polls, Horrible Stereotypes, Mailbag!

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

Many small bits of news today:

I’m ordering the first print runs of “KILLED YOUR TELEVISION” and Pixel Cloud shirts tomorrow. (Friday) New shirts are usually in short supply, so I’d grab one now if you want one soon!

The Seattle Times is one of the biggest papers that’s picked up print DS strips. If you’re a [...]
