so good, but so deadly

All that fuss I was makin’ yesterday about guest comics? Premature, looks like. Thing is, I just moved and where I moved to has an internet connection I was not aware of. But that’s okay, because I got zero submissions anyway and you should all feel terrible. I’ll just add those onto the…let’s see here, four rainy day comics I have left and we’ll call that a comfortable backlog!

Kidding aside, I’d be pretty stoked if you continued to send in submissions. Go read the directions if you don’t know what to do. Seriously, whatever you make can’t look much worse than one or two of the ones I’ve got already (sorry C-Rad; they’re still funny, no worries) so don’t let that concern you.

Either way; thanks to those who sent in (we’ll get yours up there yet) and thanks to those who are…going to?

comics of reconciliation

I have often regretted — lamented, really — the fact that I did not just copy/paste the face from panel 1 into the rest of the panels. Why? I repeat, over and over, as I toss and turn at night. Why wasn’t I just lazy?!

In all seriousness it does look a bit odd. On the other hand it’s one of the first comics that I know of which somebody, of their own free will, actually printed and posted on a surface. [January 27, 2012]

like some kind of cruel game

Most of the time, employees do not remember to do this. When they do remember, it’s often a quick, perfunctory ‘down-up’ before handing the blizzard over. This comic was inspired by a particular DQ employee that no longer works there, but who would hold the blizzard upside-down and just stare at you. I mean he was a cool kid and everything (I’d dealt with him elsewhere) but he got kinda intense about the Upside-Down-Thick philosophy. The staring did not help. [January 17, 2012]
