Last Call for Guitar Heroes!

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Just FYI: ROCK IS DEAD and Robot Juice 1.0 shirts go on hiatus after this weekend! I know I said 2/29, but realistically it’ll be coming down late on Sunday. After this weekend, we may have some sizes on clearance but there are no guarantees in life!

Also FYI, LOLBOTS has sparked back to life and [...]

Then Why Don’t You Civil Unionize It?

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

Yes, I know. DS veers into “loves Canada too much” territory sometimes. What am I supposed to do? I’m American. All I can see is how much whiter the snow pack is on the other side of the 49th parallel.
There was a story on NPR a few months ago about Canadians commuting for weeks at [...]

Single-Ply Lonely Hearts

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Today’s comic is a vital lesson in water conservation. Not only will you Los Angelenos need to give up bottled water and green lawns in the event of global drying, you will need to flush less. Trust me, I once smelled a scientist.
This is not the first time Lil’ Sis had to poop in Clango’s [...]

Pure Florida Hate Speech

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Don’t get me wrong- I love XKCD. However, if he continues this campaign of hate speech against grapefruit and lemons, there will be a reckoning. (warning, cuss words behind link)

Hello Dere, SLC (also Poughkeepsie)

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Good news- I just learned that DS is running in a free afternoon tabloid paper in SLC called “Afternoon Buzz”. Free, fast and daily- it sounds like a real world blog. If you read it and like seeing it, please feel free to drop their Reader Advocate a line and say so.
(Edit: this is kind [...]

Reboot Juice

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

I got the new t-shirt bug this week and drew the Robot Juice 2.0 shirt a couple weeks earlier than I’d meant to. I think it’s my favorite design since the Elitism Diagram and can’t wait to wear it.

Octopus Pie Book One is Here!

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

I don’t plug a lot of other comics, but I like Octopus Pie so much I helped design and publish the dang book! Mer just got 1,000 of them this morning and they’re perfect. We wheeled them into her place about an hour ago. Veddy proud.
A shirt design that has been in the back of [...]

Traveling Hobo-Style

Monday, February 18th, 2008

“Riding the Rails” takes on such a different connotation at a porno convention. Aside from the drunken blackout aspect, seeing Alaska is quite a dream of mine.
My other favorite hobo right now is Ape Lad, who has one heck of a gorgeous book that I need to get my hands on.

MA/NY Close Encounters of the Webcomics Kind

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Do you go to UMASS Amherst? Nefarious Tees will be selling some of my shirts and pixel socks in the campus center Tuesday this week and every Monday for the rest of the semester. She’ll have a limited amount of stuff, but we’re happy to take requests if you drop me a line. She should [...]

Border Crossings

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Today’s strip got me thinking about people who date across countries and other long distances. Do you do that? Is it worth it? Is dating like home cooking- does sacrificing convenience lead to higher quality?
In other news, I put in an order for new pixel sock designs last week. Hoping to have them within the [...]
