Thank goodness Spiffster13 toned down the blood barf a bit on this one. (Man, what is with those Red Lanterns?)

One last reminder: Webcomic Rampage this weekend in Austin, TX!
by David M Willis on December 9, 2011 at 2:44 pmHopping on a plane to Austin in just a few hours! I’ll be there, along with some of my best webcomic buddies. It’s gonna be crazy awesome. Get more information on Dragon’s Lair’s website!
I will have a bunch of Shortpacked! Book 4s with me and… three Dumbing of Age Dina hats. Just three. Perhaps their owners will be determined by brutal gladiator sport.
Hey, who wants a Webcomics Christmas Shopping List?

Some of my favorite webcomics people and myself thought it’d be helpful to put together a shopping list of Items of Interest for the webcomics lover in your family. This Christmas, give the gift of, let’s face it, mostly fart jokes.

“Smart People Always Do the Right Thing” by Brian Daniel
by David M Willis on November 18, 2011 at 11:31 pmIt’s a t-shirt you can buy! Why? Well, I figured why not. I mean, seriously. Since my t-shirt folks do print-to-order, if a design is simple enough, I can just throw it up on the Intermanets in a few minutes and see if anybody cares.
Plus who wouldn’t want a shirt that may or may not be about boners?
(Fun story. I designed the t-shirt for Dina in the strip thinking it would genuinely be about paleontology, but after 24 hours passed, I realized there might be unintended multiple meanings. Which is real progress for me, because these bone-related accidental double entendres used to pass me by unawares.)
I think Dina has about as many appearances as she does items of merchandise.
In which the cartoonist is a major bummer.
by David M Willis on October 16, 2011 at 7:53 pmFirst of all, yay! Mid-Ohio Con is this coming weekend. Saturday and Sunday, I believe? October 22-23rd! That is good news! The bad news is Book 4 won’t be in the States quite yet. The big pile o’ books isn’t expected to reach Columbus until the first week of November… if customs doesn’t flag it for being terrorism, that is. We’ll see. But I will have Roomies! book 1 and Shortpacked! books 2 and 3, as always. I will have an extremely limited number of Dina hats. And finally more Dinobot “Honor” posters came in, so phew.
The bummer part is I have a big pile of deaths to announce! Two hamsters within the past week (mommy ham and “Pirate” ham), and on Friday my grandfather passed away after suffering from Alzheimer’s for a very long while. His body finally caught up with his mind. You’d think, since he hasn’t recognized me in about over a year, that this would be easier to handle, but it still stings surprisingly. So this Wednesday and Thursday I’ll be off in Indiana for the visitation and funeral.
We have one remaining hamster from our current batch. She used to be the most skittish and wild one, but once mommy disappeared from her cage she just sits there, depressed. We can even pet her now, which was a near impossibility before. She just takes it, like she’s given up. This is definitely not helping my mood.
