WOW. I need to do more single panels.

What do you guys think I should do for the next SMBC shirt?

It was an amazingly crazy first day at PAX. We made a lot of memories that are forever burned into my brain.

Our friends Erica and Levin got engaged. At PAX. On the MAIN STAGE. During Mike and Jerry’s first Q&A. Erica was sent to deliver a package to Mike and Jerry, not knowing it was her engagement ring the whole time. Levin came out and dropped to one knee. It was amazing. I’m so glad I was there to see it.

The second thing (not as cool) is that Mike, Jerry and I announced a new project today. It’s called The Trenches and it’s a brand new webcomic that we’re collaborating on.

You see, a couple months ago, I got called into Mike and Jerry’s office. Robert was in there too and they wanted to talk to me about something. That can be good or bad, but this time it was good. Awesome even. A new comic strip about video game testers that they wanted me to help write and draw. Working together on something brand new, from the ground up.

We’ve been writing stories and designing characters from scratch. We’ve only spent a very small amount of time building this new world, but the experience has been tremendously rewarding. And once PAX is safely behind us we’ll be able to dedicate more time to it and tell you guys more about how things are shaping up.

So please forgive this tease. I wish I had more details for you. They will come soon. But in the meantime, here is a teaser image of our new cast of characters. I’m looking forward to getting to know them along with you all.

Interlude!

Here’s a new print I made that will be available to order from TopatoCo soon! I’ll also have it at SPX next weekend.

That’s right, remember, I’ll be lounging around at the TopatoCo table at SPX in Bethesda, MD, next weekend (Sep. 11 & 12). I’ll have the new print, the If You See Something print, and some t-shirts for sale. Hope to see you there!

AND also, again, the weekend after that (Sep. 18 & 19) I’ll be at Wild Pig Con in Springfield, NJ… this one’s hosted by a local shop that’s having a huge 50%-off sale on their comic books, so if you’re a comic book fan you won’t wanna miss it.

I know it seems this site’s come off the rails a bit but I’m still here and more new comics are coming real soon. Promise!

Oh yeah, and I know I owe you that “alternate punchline” for the last comic. That’s coming too. Blurg

Ready? Go!

• Radness Queen of the Greater Bay Area Shaenon Garrity will be part of a massive sketch-a-thon at the Schulz Museum next Saturday, 11 Sept, in honor of 60 years of Peanuts. Head up to Northern California to join in on the fun; if you can’t make it, at least enjoy her new interview over at Dimes For Nickels, where she talks about her work with William George, creator of (among other things) the greatly missed Bang Barstal.
• Whoa, it’s Dragon*Con again, and I know that there are webcomickers there, but the page they’re most likely to be listed on is kind of … no easily searchable. What I do know is that despite not being listed, Becky Dreistadt and Frank Gibson are in the Artist Alley in the Hyatt.

  Also, if you’re interested in perversity of the highest order without interference by authority figures, Jennie Breeden got herself a room after the police took an interest in last year’s public kilt+leafblower spectacle. Hanover ballrooms C-E [PDF] at the very early hour of 1:00am Saturday and Sunday (or a somewhat late hour Friday and Saturday, if you prefer).

• There were some interesting … I’ll call them hate-tweets … sent to Andy Bell over the course of the last wave of Android releases. For those that haven’t been able to purchase them, good news: two of the Series 01 designs (basic green and blank) are leaving behind the limited edition world for the exciting future of we’ll make as many as you people want to buy, stop with the death threats already. On top of that, a brand-new Series 02 will be joining them in wholesale quantities, starting from Q1 next year.

  While I will relish not having to obsessively hit F5 on my browser during the purchase windows beset with rapacious competitors, I am equally dismayed that there will now be an entire additional series of designs that I will be compelled to purchase in blind boxes. It’s a sickness, and Andy Bell is the one that gave it to me. Drat him and his incredible talents!
