Red Robot Pumpkins!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Sam has a page of Red Robot Pumpkins today!

Girls Dressed Like David Bowie…

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

…needs to be a new internet fad. I think Two Girls One Cup owes us something sexy. Ten internet points if you can identify each DS character and which iteration of Bowie she is dressed as in this comic.

Ziggy and the Art of Getting With It

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Sam and myself are listening to Ziggy Stardust on Thursday if you want to play along at home! Gonna try 10pm this time to be more fair to west coast folks.
(don’t blame him for the inaccurate cover, I just really wanted to draw Aladdin Sane but at the same time listen to a space-creepy album [...]

Mac, PC or Me?

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Uncle Grandpa the Mac, John Hodgman and Daft Punk, all in one comic. Three of my favorite Halloween treats.

Wolverine vs. Zombies: Like Cake on a Sundae

Monday, October 27th, 2008

My internet is stable enough to give you kids the greatest of gifts: a list of comics links!
Indie Rock Pete and I don’t care for Zombies.
We do, however, love Wolverine. I haven’t gone a day in my life where I haven’t wished for his powers. (I’m very risk averse)

Rolling With the Joe-Mentum

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

John Walsh asked to have me in the frame with his Block Party pixel portrait, so I updated my personal sprite with my favorite jacket. I did a little wish fulfillment for myself and used that as an excuse to get to hang out with Joe Biden. Whether or not you agree with his policies, [...]

The Abbey Road to 270

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Abbey Road plus this Obama photo times a title riffing on Fivethirtyeight.com. This is what happens when I have a deadline-free night to myself waiting for everyone else to come home from drinking.
It is a mixed blessing to be the kind of weirdo who is unable to get bored, but there are worse curses.

The Party Cannot Be Stopped or Killed

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Here are some things to consider!
* Thursday’s Bellen! was drawn in a superbly pixelated DS style.
* Sir Wil played a creepy creep on Criminal Minds this week. I gotta find a copy of that. He grows a sinister beard.
* You may remember Zoha from this print Diesel Sweeties strip. I need to figure out more [...]

Michael Jackson and the Morphogenic Field

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Watching people talk about the Presidential debates on Twitter reminded me how few shared experiences we all get to live through in real time these days. Never thought I’d miss network TV and broadcast radio.
To this end, I propose that everyone on the internet listens to Michael Jackson’s Thriller tomorrow night at 8PM EST. (10/23) [...]

Jack My Lantern

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Sam and I want like crazy to see some Red Robot Jack O Lanterns! Use either my version or Sam’s.

Send jpegs or links to images to Sam here: pumpkin@explodingdog.com. We will post our favorites and will come up with a prize (some combination diesel sweeties and explodingdog stuff) for the best ones.
Previously, in awesome [...]
