05/12/10 Dustin and Asia

Of note on the strip. if curious you can read here about the Battle of Muar involving Japan, Australia, and others. Those lyrics are from Australia’s national anthem,Â Advance Australia Fair written byÂ Peter Dodds McCormick.

And have you noticed? You can BUY the original artwork for these strips. $120, lovely brick-sepia washes. How could you say no? (links at the top of this blog)

Not much in news today. Frank Frazetta died Monday. I can’t deny that I have been at some times influenced by him, albeit not always artistically. So let’s observe a moment of silence.

frankfrazetta-cat-girl Frank, may you be immortalized on white vans by spraypaint decal artists forever.

Beth and I built a raised bed garden in our front yard this weekend and planted corn on the cob. We purchased a tall birdfeeder and the birds are now happy to flit between that one and the old one: problem solved (though not understood). Sun is predicted for the next week. Can’t say I have any complaints today. :)

04/28/10 Diary: Post Pirate

Read theÂ iphone version.

Nope. No Stumptown Con report yet. Still catching up from the weekend.

Of note, in the 6th (8th?) panel, Nogg is using a laserblade. Retractable and portable. Nothing fancy. But those who were curious from its mention here, now you know.

And I love Stephen Hawking’s recent take on Alien visitors. That they’ll probably be searching to colonize new planets since they’ve likely used up all their resources back home. Kinda like Columbus, Hawking said, “which didn’t turn out very well for the Native Americans.”

I agree, in ways, with his sentiment. And sure, there’s a possibility of that. But one only has to read a few dozen sci-fi books to see that there are SO MANY possible scenarios to contact with aliens. If it happens, I wonder what it will be? Good guys or bad guys or really really desperate guys.

If they offer candy, and ask me to get in their spaceship, though, I’m totally in.

04/21/10 Krep Analyzes Team Performance

Read theÂ iphone version.

have you been reading about Obama and NASA lately? Fascinating. As a romantic, I feel totally for the side of the astronauts, but I agree in my head with the path to go robotic. Technology, energy, etc will improve and I think in time it will get us to the stars, but continuing to send up people in the meantime doesn’t necessarily make sense. But robot probes do. Get info. Know what’s there for when we’re ready to go there in person.

On aÂ SPACETRAWLER note…. Is there any “info” you’re craving from the story? A friend recently said, “I’m a bit lost, I don’t know how long they’ve been in space or how far they’ve gone.” I’m gonna address that, and I was wondering if you had any questions I should address as well.

Mind you, there are some things I don’t want to tell you, in order to tease you. And there is a level of information I don’t want to go into because I don’t want to bog down readers with it at the expense of the story flow and humor.

So, throw your questions my way. Unless the question is, “is this a rock?”

04/14/10 Bollyck Brawl

I will be at the Stumptown Comics Fest in Portland the weekend after this, April 24th & 25th. I will have free Spacetrawler “bookmarks” and for sale I’ll have a Spacetrawler full-color promo zine (strips up through the Bollyck attack) (if there are zines left over, I’ll put them up for sale here).Â I will also have Little Dee stuff, although not book #4 because it is still at the printer.

I’m still transitioning from purely the comic world to a mix of comics and science fiction. So, once I have more Sci-Fi to actually exhibit, I’ll begin hitting science fiction conventions. Norwescon (which just passed) I hear is lots of fun.

In the news:Â Schlock Mercenary and Girl Genius have both been nominated for a Hugo. Congrats! (hoping someday I’ll be on that list… once I someday have a book).

If you missed it, I contributed toÂ Unshelved‘s Book Club with a comic of the Spacetrawler cast discussing Alastair Raynold’s “Chasm City.”Â Check it out!

Also, what do people think of a possible iphone formatted strip? Any ideas how to improve on this subject (I’m afraid I don’t have the skills to write my own app)

Also, for your notice: you can now be notified by email when the strip updates. Info in the upper right there.

Sold!

Apparently Dimitri wishes to seek out new life and new civilizations and boldly go where no man has gone before. Ah huh.Â One giant leapÂ for this man, one small step for mankind.

At the Seattle Comic Con someone asked me if I had an RSS feed. the answer: YES. The little orange square on the upper right side of this page is your RSS link. For those who don’t know what an RSS feed is, it’s one place where you can have all your favorite blogs and comics and news sources come to you. I use livejournal as my RSS reader, but most people use Google Reader.

Speaking of ways to follow me, I’m on bothÂ Facebook andÂ Twitter, and you can see my other work at littledee.net and baldwinpage.com.

3/15/10 – I had a lovely time at The Emerald City Comic Con, thank you all for coming out.

I’ll post a longer blog in the next couple days, but I just wanted to say thank you all, those who stopped by, to Topatoco, and to all the other generous and fun creators who make this such an exciting field to be in.
