Guest Comics Next Week- But I’ll Still Be Here

Friday, June 29th, 2007

Oy! It is Friday and I’m leaving you with the upliftingly depressing DS #1780 as the third comic in a trifecta of strips about misunderstood “-ists” and “-isms”. You will want to read today’s archived Sunday comic, because it’s directly related to this very strip.
I will be here all next week blogging along with [...]

One Lone Nut / A Conspiracy of Dunces

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Regarding DS #1779- why is it that even with 12 comics a week, I don’t have the will power to not do a double comic when it feels like I have to do a double comic? Is this a job or a mania?
Speaking of mania, I’m psyched to say that I’m running my first guest [...]

“The Great Bargain” or “Lessons from MOCCA”

Monday, June 25th, 2007

About DS #1776- Big Johnny Allison screams FREEEEDOM!!!! at the top of his lungs every time he visits America, so this comic goes out to him. I’m glad I hit 1776 in june instead of July, as that would be too freaky. (Like when Mr. Rosenberg hit 2000 comics on his 30th birthday) I drew [...]

Argh and Yay, Friends at Play

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

First the Argh: Though I will be at MOCCA this weekend, I won’t yet have the custom-drawn pixel shirts. I’m not yet happy with how permanent the ink is unless it’s done with fabric paints … and fabric paints and brushes are not really convention-safe. I’m not giving up! Even if these don’t work at [...]

New Poster/Print/SHINY THING!

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Wait, what’s this? A poster? Starring the world’s most honest art critics? Why, it does appear so! I’ll have this little guy at MOCCA this weekend, but it’s also available online starting today. Some of them got dinged up in shipping, so supplies are somewhat limited.

Hey, New Yorkers! MOCCA is next week.

Friday, June 15th, 2007

Just FYI- if you’re going to the MOCCA show next week and would like me to bring you a specific t-shirt to buy, simply email me by next Thursday. (6/21) PLEASE include your name, designs, sizes and styles. No need to pay ahead of time, I’ll pack it up and put it aside for you.

Giant TVs, Sea Monsters, Aliens. It’s a Cookout!

Friday, June 15th, 2007

First things first! This week’s archived Sunday comic is narrow-fied for web reading and is also posted in its original format here. (oops! All fixed now)

Electron Mike and Otakate seem to be doing pretty well, but kids with weird colored hair have terrible luck around these parts.

After getting news from the site for months, I [...]

A Wonderful Ad-Speriment (updated)

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Button ads are back on the front page- it looked weird without them and people seem to prefer the little ones. My Project Wonderful Archive banners are still upgraded though. They’re leaderboard size ads instead of standard banners.

PS: Elitist Diagram shirts should start shipping tomorrow. LOL RIGHTS RESERVED should be in very soon, I had [...]

My Sharpie is Quick

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

My hilarious trick for convention season this year is the hand-drawn, custom pixel art shirt! I had Dr. T-Shirt print up a couple dozen testers and this is my first attempt at making a t-shirt entirely in Sharpie by hand. It’s not edited except that I sped it way up and added music. I make [...]
