Poll!

Because I can, I’ve put a poll over on the right, between the intra-comic links and the Twitter box. Everyone important has shown up, so it’s time to see who folks are most excited to see more of. I won’t promise that I’m gonna be, like, beholden to it or anything. Mostly I’m just curious. I have my own ideas as to who’s most popular, and I want to see if my suspicions match reality. (And even if I were beholden to it, there’d be a month-long delay anyway as we burn through my buffer.)

Select up to three characters and let’s see who’s in most demand.

Mix it up

So here’s a fun Webcomic Rampage story.  I’m pretty sure I’ll be telling this one a lot.  It’s a doozy.

I mailed two boxes of books to Austin.  One arrived perfectly!  The other arrived, too, but in an interesting condition.  It was, in fact, a completely new cardboard box, with the old, shredded cardboard box inside.  The mailing address, return address, and postage had been exacto-knifed off the old box and taped onto the new box.

Inside the old box inside the new box was half a blender.

Yeeeeaaaaaah.

Yeah.

Webcomic Rampage next weekend in Austin!

Hey, troops!  (Hmmm, I like using the word “troops.”  Can I start addressing you as troops?)  Next weekend I’m gonna be in Austin, Texas, at the Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy store for Webcomic Rampage, joined by all of your other favorite webcartoonists.  Part of the gearing up for this special event is the Dragon’s Lair’s podcast, which this past week interviewed both myself and Joel Watson.  You can listen to this podcast on their website!

If you’re planning on attending the Webcomic Rampage panel that opens both days of the event, be sure to RSVP via Facebook or phone, as there’s limited seating available!  After the panel there’ll be some signing and some wares snagging.  You won’t want to miss it!

The geek girls

Dumbing of Age is full of roommates who are foils, so I wanted at least one pair of roomies to be so similar that its bad for both of them.  So meet the two social recluses, Amber and Dina.    Here’s some folks who won’t be leaving their room very often.  Amber will be faceplanting herself into WoW while Dina will be too busy obsessing about dinosaurs to chip away at her crippling social phobias.  Aren’t they a fun, largely invisible pair.  They enable each other.
