Dorothy fanart by Starline Hodge

by David M Willis on October 12, 2010 at 12:00 pm
Posted In: Blog

Ruth owned last week’s fanart, so can we get a little Dorothy in here?  Yes we can, thanks to Starline!  Go read her webcomic, Candi.  It’s about a pink-haired girl who totally also goes to college.

Unshelved Book Club “Dumbing of Age” strip

by David M Willis on October 8, 2010 at 11:13 am
Posted In: Blog

Bill Barnes is the creator of Unshelved, a webcomic about librarians.  Don’t laugh, it’s true.  A regular feature is the Unshelved Book Club, where characters talk about a book they’ve read.  Sometimes Bill invites other webcomics to get into the act, and probably, what, a billion months ago he asked me to.

I originally planned to do something with Robin and Leslie from Shortpacked! about The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs, but then convention season happened and I became Worst Guest Comic Contributor Ever.  But a few weeks ago Bill reminded me that he could totally end me, and I got back to it.  Not because of any threats of bodily harm he may or may not have threatened, but because we’re really good friends and I didn’t want to let him down.

Between the original solicitation for a guest strip and the actual creation, I had a new webcomic.  So enjoy.

Ruth, the Black Mamba, by Karen Rustad

by David M Willis on October 7, 2010 at 12:00 pm
Posted In: Blog

According to Karen Rustad, Ruth has risen from her Roomies!-crafted grave the old-fashioned way, by digging herself up out of her own coffin!  And her wrists are all slashed!  Oh, okay, I see, this is a Kill Bill reference, not a suggestion of Unfortunate Implications.  Phew!

Frightening Spectre-Ruth by Yovnocrats

Posted In: Blog

I think we’ve discovered a favorite subject for Dumbing of Age fan art.  Though, hey, look, it’s Mike!  He’s novel!  Thanks, Yovnocrats, for adding to our nightmare fuel.

I'm thinking this Pride about how I've been able to make a whole bundle of pretty unusual life choices with basically no pushback because of people before me who were willing to be the weirdo.

What would be funnier, a Marvel Soundwave who’s blue, or Hasbro releasing a Marvel Soundwave who’s purple right after releasing a printing of the comics where he’s been “corrected” to blue?

I’ve been hanging onto these images for literally years waiting for the the right moment to post them and it’s safe to say that day is finally here
Still from an episode of Columbo. He is is a restaurant kitchen next to a woman in red. Closed caption reads “That smells like beef. Is that beef?”
Same as before, Columbo in a kitchen with the woman in a red outfit. He’s leaning over the gas hob. Closed caption reads: “That’s beef.”

Optimus Prime broke down and cried on the set of "Transformers" (2007) due to the extensive use of green screen filming. He reportedly said, "This is not why I became an actor."
