Love in the Year 3000

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Freyja is turning into my favorite character really quickly. Here’s hoping Minty’s presence isn’t an omen.
Go sign up for Warren Ellis’ Whitechapel board tonight if you have a little time to bloggify this week. I think I’m getting interrogated over there tomorrow.
In other news, there is a new B-52s album for the first time since [...]

Cell Phones and Tobacco

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Science-folk are finally coming around to the fact that cell phones are the cigarettes of tomorrow. I’ve been worried for years now! Wear your headset or use speakerphone, kids.

Die Fledermaus! Kill! Kill!

Welcome to 1980! I’ve added a little code to my site to make it easier for people to post DS comics to their blogs- if you need it, it’s right under the strip. For example, on this random favorite of mine about Cheetos and Google.

He Was a Rocker. He Rocked Out.

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

DS #1979: Pete has come a lot further over the years than he’d like to admit: I’m a Rocker. I Rock Out. The poor guy. In his defense, the music world is still annoying.
I’m going to be at Conbust on Saturday with some friends if you’d like to pop by and have a high-five. It’s [...]

My Apologies, Let Me Blog You Them

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

DS #1978 took an odd turn and led to a cartoon whose power I could never equal. “What’s Opera, Doc?” is still the most ultimate animated thing ever. Sorry about the image macro, I am weak sometimes.

Money, Kashyyyk, Hoes

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

I don’t care if it’s cool or lame, but I couldn’t let DS #1977 go by without doing a tribute to Chewbacca. That’s the year I was porn born! My other two favorite Space Combat related comics were DS #1480 & DS #1079. If I missed yours, post it!

I was pretty happy with today’s print [...]

Tentacle Scrapes

Friday, March 21st, 2008

If you ever wondered what my handwriting looks like, I drew today’s Octopus Pie for

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Point two! I totally blanked on this yesterday, but Freyja Tryggvason is an [...]
