“Billie Who” by Brian Daniel

Posted In: Blog

Here’s more fan art by Brian Daniel of Shifter.  He envisions a future where Danny makes out with Amazi-Girl while she’s standing on a stool.  It’s a very specific fetish.

Hey, I’m back!

by David M Willis on January 10, 2011 at 12:52 pm
Posted In: News

And I’ve got things for you.

Way back in 2005, I did a comic for 24 Hour Comic Day, and created a self-contained out-of-continuity 24-page story about the Head Alien and Monkey Master from It’s Walky!.  That story’s seen the Internet, but never print!  UNTIL TODAY.

It’s been repackaged as an in-universe artifact from Dumbing of Age, where the Head Alien and Monkey Master only exist as fictional characters from a popular cable network cartoon.  All 24 pages are represented in this black-and-white comic book, as well as a “letters page” in the front that delves into the history of the “Dexter & Monkey Master” franchise in the Dumbing of Age universe.  Also, there’s a spot on the inside cover for me to sign and/or doodle on if you ever see me in person!  Find it in the store.

Also, woo, now that I’m home, I can get back to some outstanding orders from the store.  Hooray!

Vandalized, incomplete blender for sale

by David M Willis on December 16, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Posted In: Blog

So this is the infamous half-blender of Webcomic Rampage.  For those readers of mine who still haven’t heard this story, let me retell it here.  I shipped two boxes of books to the Austin Dragon’s Lair comic shop ahead of myself so that I could sell them to my fans.  One box arrived easy-as-you-please!  The other box had been opened, books removed, placed in a new box, with the books exchanged with half a blender.  HALF A BLENDER.  So, yeah.  Post Office lost/stole/ate my books, and gave me an incomplete blender in exchange.  That was fun!  But a good story, I guess?

But the sad, sobering reality is that losing those books cost me a potential few hundred dollars in sales.  That blows!  So to share this story and to help recoup my losses, since there’s no real legal recourse for me to retrieve these books or my lost potential sales, I’ve doodled a bunch of my characters on the surface of this blender with a Sharpie. And you can own it. Keep in mind, it is an INCOMPLETE blender.  You will only get what you see here.  Just the bottom, with a plug.  There’s no top half.   The blender also has some scuff marks at some of the edges where its silvery finish was removed in transit.  But on the plus side, there’s now all these Shortpacked! and Dumbing of Age characters on it.  Sweet, huh?

I’ve left a spot up next to Ultra Car where the winner of the blender can request anyone they feel is important that I’ve forgotten.  (Which, as it turns out, will probably be Mike.  Man, how’d I forget him?  Oh well, you can request him should you win.  Or somebody else!  There’s also no Dorothy, no Reagan, no Sal…) So, uh, yeah!  You can own this piece of dubious webcomics history.

“Atop the High Wall”: A fanfic by AgentKSilver

by David M Willis on December 15, 2010 at 10:20 pm
Posted In: Blog

Hey, look, it’s a Walky/Billie fanfic by AgentKSilver! There is exactly as much casual swearing as you’d expect in a story set in senior high, which is a lot.  Find “Atop the High Wall” here in the forum.

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

Thinking about forbidden intersections
A photo from a math book: a chain of two over lapping triangles where one triangle is also overlapping a line. These are simplicial complexes (triangle = 2-simplex, line = 1-simplex). reads: the sort of intersections that are not (italicized) allowed.

While stretch and squash has always been harder with CGI animation (especially in the 90's), leading to animation that's very stiff in SOME ways, check out how Quickstrike jerks forward a hair before jerking himself back. Skilled animators worked on Beast Wars and it shows, despite the limitations.

I really want y'all to take this in if you haven't seen BW. The amount of expression Mainframe could get out of some *incredibly* inhuman faces, mixed with body language, is astounding even today.
