PvP: Ding! Call for your WoW stories

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:02:33 +0000

In the new year, I’ve decided to take back over all the creative regins on my comic strip “Ding!”. Once again, I’ll be writing and drawing the strip. But that’s not all that’s changing.

World of Warcraft isn’t just a game. It’s a community of shared experiences and I thought it would be awesome if “Ding!” reflected that, while at the same time giving some WoW fans a chance to see some of their exploits immortalized in a webcomic.

Following the brilliant format of my buddy Brad Guigar’s Phables, I’m changing up “Ding!.” No longer will the strip follow the exploits of Kissybear and the Panda Attack guild. Instead Ding! will tell YOUR stories about you and your local band of heroes.

If you have a great WoW story that you would like to share with the Ding! audience, just email me your story in your own words. Be sure to include your character name, and server so I can give you credit (if you don’t want people to know that information, a fictional name can be made up for you). Don’t be shy about including a screenshot of your toon so I know how you’re dressing these days (and I can recreate all your leet gear in cartoon form).

If your story is picked and turned into a Ding! comic, you’ll receive an 11×17 print of the strip, so be sure to include a contact email address with your submission.

Send me your hilarious or awesome WoW story today! I’d love to turn it into a comic strip.

Ding strips will return next Wednesday on a once-a-week schedule.

Wondermark: Wondermark leaves The Onion; joins MCT Campus syndicate

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:53:32 +0000

In late 2006, the satirical newspaper The Onion launched a comics page in its print edition (currently available free on newsstands in 10 metropolitan areas). I was thrilled to feature Wondermark on that page in every market, and for about two and a half years, the comic ran in 700,000 papers every week.

Now, however, the Onion comics page is going away. The issue appearing on newsstands in a few days will be the last to feature a Wondermark strip.*

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed — it was wonderful to attend conventions in cities like New York, San Francisco, Austin, and the D.C. area and have people recognize the strip from the paper, thrilled to discover things like book collections and the email list. It was always a kick to pick a paper off the newsstand and see my work in print, and knowing that bored people on the subway would be reading my comic helped give me perspective — and kept me from making too many internet-nerd in-jokes. The whole time, the editors at the Onion have been uniformly gracious, accommodating and supportive, and I am deeply indebted to Tasha Robinson and Joe Garden particularly.

But the financial realities of the newspaper-publishing business are what they are. (That is to say, miserable.) Moving forward, my goals are twofold — both of which heavily involve you:

> First, I want to make sure that people who enjoyed Wondermark in the Onion know that the strip itself is still very much alive and continuing online. If you have friends who regularly read the comic in the paper, remind them that they can sign up for email delivery of comics and not miss a beat. In fact, they’ll get twice the comics! (Since the Onion only published one comic a week, but I post two a week here on the site.)

>> Second, if you attend or work for a school (high school or college) with a newspaper, let them know that Wondermark is now available for syndication through MCT Campus, the same syndicate that offers comics such as “K Chronicles”, “Brewster Rockit”, and “Bliss” to schools. MCT is offering Wondermark on a trial basis, which means that it lives or dies based on newspapers electing to participate and reader feedback – both things that I can’t provide, but you can.

Yes, you (in the aggregate) have the power to make Wondermark available to millions of students and faculty (in the aggregate) who might enjoy them. With the loss of the Onion audience, this opportunity for additional exposure is very precious, and I’d love to make a good showing. Please contact an editor at your school paper and direct them (very kindly) to the MCT Campus folks here, along with a few words about why you enjoy Wondermark and why it could be a good fit for your school.

And if the paper picks it up for syndication — tell me about it! I’ll send a personalized thank-you gift to anyone who sends me a scan of Wondermark in their school paper.

Thanks so much, everyone! And to any fugitive Onion fans who’ve found your way here, thanks for making the leap online. Here’s the email subscription list, the RSS feed, the website’s Twitter feed, the LiveJournal feed — pick your flavor. It’s nice to have you around.

*If you live in Madison, San Fran., NYC, LA, Austin, Chicago, Denver/Boulder, the Twin Cities, Milwaukee, or DC, pick up an Onion late this week. You might be glad you did, hint hint

Big Fat Whale: The Gaza Strip (An IntiFARTa)

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:13:54 +0000

I am just a humble never-frozen cartoonist. I have no intelligent thoughts about Gaza, and no silly cartoon ideas about Israelis and Palestinians farting on each other either. Oh wait! I have one of those!

Hamas farts in the general direction of an Israeli settlement and the the Israelis retaliate with ridiculously out of proportion silent but deadlies. Jimmy Carter shows up, mugs to the viewer and says, “Here we go again!” and sharts his pants.

Fleen: When I Said Things Would Start Happening Again On The Fifth, I Didn’t Mean It All Had To Happen Today

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 20:22:49 +0000

We’ll come back to some of it tomorrow. For now, a portion of what broke over the weekend:

Matt Boyd of Three Panel Soul did an interview with MC Frontalot, the rapper laureate of webcomics.
Once upon a time, I asked Jon Rosenberg why, if he was going to do Goats four days a week (instead of the more usual three or five), was it Monday - Thursday? Why not Mon-Tue-Thur-Fri, so that the three-day drought between the last installment of one week and the first of the next was only two days? His answer: I drink on Thursday nights, rendering Friday comics unlikely at best.
Welp, he’s got a house and a child now, and is prepping up three books for release with a major publishing house, and he’s no longer drinking only on Thursdays. As a result of not wanting to die, he’s been forced to cut back to a three days a week schedule, which is really a bargain when you consider that I originally asked my question (v.s.) in the era of single-row, black and white strips instead of the multi-row, color extravaganzas we get these days.
Hey, do you like things that are fancy? How about webcomics that have new, more functional site designs, including improved archiving tools and resurrected forums? Then check out the new/improved Theater Hopper, which features all of these (and more!) as of this morning.
Creator sighting! Danielle Corsetto will be bringing girls and slingshots to the wilds of suburban New Jersey on Saturday, and the arctic hinterlands of Canada but a week later. Seeing as how one of these signings is only about 20 minutes up the road, I’ll be doing my best to drop by.
Of course, if I miss Danielle on Saturday, it’ll be just about a month before she’s back this way — New York Comic Con (having tried a pleasant Spring weekend and decided it was entirely too pleasant) returns to its February timeslot this year.
Now, this page has griped in the past about various aspects of how NYCC has been run, but I’ll give them this bit of unqualified praise: last night I got my press credentials for the show with absolutely zero hassle. It was the easiest credentialling I’ve ever been through, driven almost entirely by the question, Have you been here as Press before? with an affirmative answer resulting in Okay, here you go. It took all of two minutes, and every big con needs to adopt this model.

Keeping with my current very good mood regarding NYCC, I’ll note that webcomics will likely have a pretty significant presence, with the lovely Ms Corsetto, Comics Bakery, various Dumbrellites, at least some Halfpixellians, a Canadian or two, and a couple of obscure guys from Seattle all rumored to be in attendance. The NYCC home page also features an advert from Disney’s children’s book group featuring a purple guy with webcomicky roots.

Programming for the Con isn’t up yet, but the ICv2 Graphic Novel Conference taking place the day before looks promising, with the first session devoted to “Comics on the Web”, which sounds a mite familiar. See you there?

I more or less could not endure the tutorial, choosing instead to learn my trade "On The Job," which is dangerous for an archer but one gets used to it. Unfortunately, there was a bug in the demo that would not allow me to play their online game online - it suggested that my displayName was in use, something I didn't find especially surprising, because it was my name.

Buttercup Festival: Buttercup Festival by David Troupes

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:34:21 +0000

5 January 2009
I receive a fair number of enquiries from people wanting to buy a print of a Buttercup Festival comic, and until now I've had to reply that sadly such things aren't feasible for a guy like me. Well, things might be changing: the folk at Topatoco, who handle my shirts, have purchased a fancy new printer and I'll now have the opportunity to make some strips or artwork available as commercial-quality prints. So, could everyone with even the slightest bit of interest either email me (below) or post on the Facebook group which strip(s) you might be interested in purchasing as prints? Even if you don't really want to buy one, just let me know which strips you think should be available. Thanks.

And so, perhaps inevitably, I have fallen somewhat short of my plans to finish all of the writing and illustration for Renaming of the Birds by the end of 2008. The writing is very nearly finished, just a few holes to plug, but I'll be carrying on with the illustration throughout winter and early spring, with the idea now that I'll start sending materials to agents and publishers in the late spring and summer. My thanks to everyone who has been asking about it.

And no new comic today I'm afraid, but here's something from the RotB sketchbook, and Buttercup Festival will pick up again next Monday.

Hey, so I've removed the silly drawings from the Thinkin' Lincoln regular archive. They're basically just filler and I don't want them in the way for people reading through the comic in the future. PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE, I AM DOING A FAVOR FOR YOU. IN EXCHANGE PLEASE SEND ME A ROBOT DINOSAUR THAT HAS SURELY BEEN INVENTED BY YOUR TIME. I PROMISE NOT TO LET IT CHANGE THE TIME STREAM OR WHATEVER.

Anyway, I think probably most people won't really care, but for those of you who liked the drawings, they can be found here: Silly Drawings.

Goats: A Change in Schedule

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 22:25:17 +0000

Howdy folks! Welcome to 2009. I think this is going to be a banner year for Goats, there's lots of excitement about the upcoming book release (files are already off to the publisher, thanks for asking) and I'm excited to write and draw the next few storylines.

Sometimes I get a bit too excited about the drawing and writing and inking and coloring and book-producing and customer support and threats of violence that I forget about other important things, like my wife and child and showering and eating.

It has been brought to my attention that a constant schedule of 18-hour days may not be healthy after a year or two, and that I should probably dial it back a bit. So I'm going to cut the strip's schedule to three days a week, Monday-Wednesday-Friday.
This was a tough decision to make but I've given it a few months of thought and it's the only real option that will give me more time with my family and allow me to maintain the same level of quality in the strip. I plan to revisit my schedule once all the book production is done and see if I can bump it back up but I guess we'll see how it goes.

Anyhow, thanks for your understanding and please don't hit me.

Fleen: It’ll Be Monday Before Everybody’s Back To Making Webcomics

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:02:48 +0000

So I’m extremely grateful to Lore Sjöberg, who has decided to make January a month that overflows with comics. Like a cornucopia. Or something:

There’s a little cutback over at Wired way, and for the foreseeable future I’m going to be providing a video every other week instead of every week.

Looking on the somewhat brighter side, this frees up more time to do other things! I was thinking to myself “I wonder if I can update Bad Gods every weekday in January.” Then I realized that’s what George Orwell would have called “loserthink,” if he had written a teen comedy instead of a biting political satire. So instead I’m asking the question “What happens when I update Bad Gods every weekday in January”?

Keep checking Bad Gods, you’ll see new material constantly emerging like pups from an extremely gravid prairie dog.

Gosh, with a mental image like that, how can you say no? It’s Monster Manual Comix for the meantime, but I have hopes of more Lore Brand Comics (which, curiously enough, don’t seem to show up at Lore Brand Comics). Regardless, be sure to click on the “Notes” link below each ‘toon; it’ll bring you up the equivalent of a very short director’s commentary.

Luckily, they have so many awesome new features this strip took half the time to make - which brings the average down to a sweet 3.5 months or so. And GIMP now supports CMYK!! - expect ELER in printed book form by next Xmas! Assuming analogue books will still be available then. And that we have enough oil left to transport them around.

The hiatus was due to upstream. Though normal programming may or may not resume shortly. Promises will not be made, guarantees surely broken, hope sold on ebay.

I would call this the laziest strip ever, but for the fact that David Morgan-Mar set the wheels in motion a year ago, has been laying foundation since early summer (or winter, since Morgan-Mar is a Sydneysider), has been building up to it for months, has been tying directly to i t f o r p r e t t y m u c h a l l o f D e c e m b e r.

Not to mention that in Tuesday’s strip, he either had to have taken both those pictures of himself a year ago (planning!) or make sure that he had the same haircut and basic physical appearance a year after launching the plot (continuity!). In any event, tying together fourteen different themes (which, for all intents and purposes are fourteen different webcomics). The only thing he might have tied in but didn’t wasn’t really a strip at all. Well done, Dr Morgan-Mar. Well done.

Twenty Aught Nine
If you're going to be a prophet, you have to make some prophecies. People won't remember the ones that don't come true, but the ones that by sheer chance do come true will freak people out like you would not believe.

Thanks again for another year of putting up with my crap, everybody! More to come.

PvP: Happy New Year!

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:53:35 +0000

Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for making 2008 such a banner year for PvP. It was our 10th year online, my 8th year as a full time cartoonist. It was a true milestone for me, and you were a large part of that. Even though it’s been ten years, it feels like I’ve just gotten started.

So much happened in 2008, it’s difficult to properly recount it all. On top of that, I’m so excited about what’s waiting for me in 2009, it’s hard to stop looking forward and planning ahead. We’re already planning to move our family to a new state next year. A new home, new friends, a new chapter in our lives awaits.

However, if I force myself to scan my memory for the highlights of the previous year, my mind lands on the same recurring theme: the Halfpixel crew. The highlights of my year all involve Dave, Brad, Kris and our families meeting up in different cities for all new adventures and experiences. The Hotel piano bar in San Diego, the late night pub visit in Baltimore, the lecture in Savannah, In and Out Burger, The motorcycle gang, my pissy attitude about the humidity, waking up at 4am and worrying that Kris had gotten killed on the streets of Baltimore, the panels, the people coming up to our booth and giving us heartfelt thanking us for the book, and our weekly meet up online for our podcasts.

My wife, my family, my friends, my readers. I am a blessed man. I’ve been given more than I deserve.

Raise your glasses to the new year! Let’s hope we can make 2009 half as exciting.

so i am starting hourly comics tonight, but they will not start updating until tomorrow night at midnight, they run at a 24-hour delay, just fyi. i am not sure how they will affect the updating of pfsc, we will see about that my friends. they run through february first, when a bunch of people join me. there are a lot more people looking at my stuff this year than in years past, so i figure i should go ahead and explain it. i don't think i'll mention them much again, they are an entirely optional overload of mundane journal comics.

Tycho : I'm sure it was meant to be grim, but for some reason that story about videogame characters giving men self-esteem issues as well had us in stitches. Part of it may be that we delight in terrible realities, our receptors for joy and despair being reversed - like those creatures who thrive in boiling sea vents or devour toxins, we manifest an alien physiology. We found the idea that it was even possible to like your body incredibly hilarious. I've never known a single person whose body was not a source of psychological torment, indeed, it can be seen as ...
