A general catch-all update

by David M Willis on September 16, 2012 at 10:31 pm
Posted In: Blog

Hey, some of you may know Josh Fruhlinger from his daily newspaper comic strip commentary at Comics Curmudgeon.  Well, now you can also know him from his United States President Slash Fic Blog, Hail to the Slash.  Josh commissioned art from me for the title!  I have provided the too-hot-for-blog extra slobber version to the left.  The full and final version of the graphic can be seen at the site itself, of course, as well as lots of stories about Presidents sodomizing each other.

I am still cranking out the 100 “Crisis” poster orders!  I have approximately 75 of them in the mail.  What complicates things is that this is also the week that my three literal tons of Dumbing of Age book 1 and Shortpacked! book 1 reprints arrived!  (See top image!) And so I’m also working on those at an equally furious pace.  I will probably have… 100 of them ready to go out the door to the post office on Monday?  That is out of roughly 600 orders, so please bear with me.  Those first 100 are from the folks who didn’t ask for any extras, since I wanted to get a huge chunk of them ready to be mailed as soon as possible — you know, to get some feeling of immediate accomplishment.  Just throwing books in postage pre-paid envelopes and slapping labels on.  It’ll be much slower going once I hit the international orders and folks who pledged for sketches.

So I’ll be keeping busy for a while.  And probably be rewatching a lot of DVDs while creating more stacks of enveloped books like the ones on the right.

Crisis

by David M Willis on September 1, 2012 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Blog

A week from Monday, on September 10, I will have been doing webcomics for fifteen years.  Dumbing of Age will also be celebrating its second birthday!  To celebrate this milestone, I have put together a limited poster!   Suffice to say, it’s the busiest thing I have ever drawn in my life.

A while ago, Joel Watson was all,  hey, you should do a parody of Superboy Prime punching the universe and all the pieces scattering into the Walkyverse and the Dumbiverse.  That’d be a poster you can do.  And it was a fine idea, but it wasn’t “all-encompassing work of horror” enough for me.  I needed something that would take me a month to complete.  And so I’ve parodied a different, better crisis instead.

CLICK THIS FOR ANIMATED GIFNESS (created by MiracleIsYou on Tumblr)

As a result, every character who’s ever appeared in one of my webcomics is in this thing.  I poured through my own archives day by day, grabbing folks to squeeze in here.  Some of them are pretty in your face.  Some may be less obvious, but still pretty easy to find.  Some may be essentially unrecognizable mostly-obscured heads in the background.  But they’re all here.  And there’s both Walkyverse and Dumbiverse versions of everybody.  (You can probably tell where the split in the composition takes place.)

It’s an 11″x17″ slab of cardstock gloss craziness, and there’s only 50 100 of them.  I’ll number and autograph them all.  If you want one, here it is in the store.

UPDATE: I woke up this morning to find I’d sold seventy of my fifty posters, so, uh, I just ordered a second 50.

UPDATE AGAIN: They’re gone!  Sold out in 23.5 hours.  Woof!

Hey, look!  It’s Dana!  As a superhero!  By Yomotoe!  Or as a supervillain.  It could go either way.

Here is an amazing realistic depiction of Dina by rougegrasshopper!  It is as if she is nonfiction.

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

"You're/we're toast" was not coined as a phrase until 1984's Ghostbusters, so of course this French king from 1000AD of course doesn't understand the reference. A good cartoon.

Science fiction is basically about naming things after real astronomy which is basically about naming things after Roman mythology which is basically about pretending that you named things from Greek mythology which is about straightforwardly describing the gods on a real mountain you can hike to
