01/09/13 Negotiations Begin

I just ate the remainder of last night’s apple crumble. And forgot to have my late afternoon tea. I am sleepy now. So tragic. ;-)

News? They finally filmed a giant squid. But the video won’t be released til later this month (I’m pretty excited), so for now you can just watch videos of them talking about it with footage of them killing other squids. Such pretty things, they say. Ah well.

Annnnd, If I were a younger man, I just might consider applying to go to Mars. But I’m not. hahahahaha!

01/07/13 Appealing to Qwahntoo

01/07/13 Appealing to Qwahntoo

I remembered her black eye! Finally! :)

Let’s see. Oh, I forgot to mention that a week and a half ago I posted a recipe on Cookrookery. Cinnamon-Raisin Penuche cake. It’s the second recipe down, Dan just posted about bizarre foods from his recent trip to New Zealand and Australia.

In news, there’s an app for reading webcomics on your smart phone, and it’s almost ready to be released, called Comic Chameleon. Spacetrawler will be on it, but it’s not released yet, this is just buzz. And lastly, robots are now playing heavy metal. Now all we have to do is teach them to set fire to the hotel bed and throw the toilet out the window.

And lastly lastly, my Questionable Wisdom Of The Age, filling my “Qwota” of misguided sagacity for the universe.

The desire to become a rock star is the worst hobby imaginable for a youth, on so many levels. Especially if they succeed.

01/02/13 Potty-Bot’s Report

by Christopher on January 1, 2013 at 9:00 pm
01/02/13 Potty-Bot’s Report

Oh my goodness. We have DSL through [REDACTED evil phone carrier]. On Friday it went down, and they have given us the worst run-around. Several phone calls, hours of phone time (mostly on hold). Still awaiting. And so I’m writing my blog in the warmth of my office before I walk to the library (which is closed on New Year’s Day, along with everything else) and upload it from the doorway. Ah well. Life’s not that hard, really.

We had a quiet little New Years. I was still a bit out under the weather, and we’d had no set plans, so we just had a cozy little celebration at home. But it was warm and sweet.

But it was an odd New Years for me. More than in the past it inspired me to really sit down look back at 2012 and to think about where I am and where I want to be. I feel contemplative and unsure. Hrm.

Anyhow, I hope you all had a fun and safe New Years. Best wishes to you all for 2013 and thank you for the warm wishes given to me.

12/24/12 – Brawling With Ites

12/24/12 – Brawling With Ites

So, not something I usually do, but I’m going to take off the holiday and so there will NOT be a strip on Wednesday. I’ll post something, a blog and perhaps a drawing, but no strip. I’ve been working too hard and I’m going to take the holiday which most people take. I guess that’s fair.

On other “glorious” news, it has been brought to my attention that even though I just did a strip on planet Uranus… that Nogg and Zorilla already passed Uranus in Late September. I’m not sure what I’m going to do about that, but I’m pondering it. Most likely I’ll change it to Neptune and rewrite the dialogue and see if I can pull it off without re-drawing. Add it to my list of things to fix before book #3 goes to printer. I’ll keep you posted when I do.

All is well here. My sweetie and I drove out to visit the family over the weekend, and now we’re just going to sit around and for the first time, just enjoy out new place for a couple days and chill out.

That sounds like a very very VERY good plan.

Happy Holidays to all of you.

02/22/12 The Fire

02/22/12 The Fire

Don’t forget the Kickstarter for Book #2 campaign.

This strip makes me sad. I may laugh callously when I write death, but it also makes me sad. Ah, how mixed emotions can be.

Well, good. Now you know what our jolly crew is up against in book 3. And the characters who were doomed? They needed closure. Will I forget that aside from at-times-intense story that this is ALSO A COMEDY? — NO. Never.

It’s my brithday on Saturday. Whoot! Happy me. I’ll eat cake. And eat it too.

Anyhow. Kickstarter still going through Monday, pre-orders for book #2 and other fun items: artwork, name as a character, postcards! It’s really really awesome. Check it out.

02/20/12 Before The Fire

02/20/12 Before The Fire

The Kickstarter campaign for Spacetrawler book 2 pre-orders RAGES ON. Join the forces of good. Support happiness. You have one week left.

You can’t see much of the Mihrrgoot ship in today’s strip, but you will see more of it. And I’m pretty pleased with how it came out.

If you want to make wild mass guesses on the plot of Spacetrawler, someone posted a theory over on TVTropes.

There’s a video up of a panel I did with Tony DiGerolama(of Superfrat and a writer for the Simpsons) at InterventionCon in the DC area in the autumn of last year. The panel goes a bit smoother after about 5 minutes when I realized what panel I was on (“Getting Paid To Do What You Already Love”).

Oh, and I have a comic in the current MAD Magazine. Check it out at your local library or newsstand!

Did I mention the Spacetrawler Kickstarter campaign? Of course I did.

Happy Day After Valentines Day! (umm)

Bit of a cliffhanger today, sorry to make you all wait ’til next week! :)

Thank you all so much for funding the printing of Book 2 through my Kickstarter campaign! As you may know, I have reached my goal, but you can still place pre-orders or support my work (you can have your name or face in the actual comic even!) there until the 27th! All extra proceeds will go to paying off the loans from printing book 1 and to the re-printing of Little Dee.

BOOK 2 KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN!

I think there is other news and links, but I’ve been working non-stop and my head is spinning. Just to thank you all again. This all is such a relief.

02/01/12 Yuri’s Red Hand

by Christopher on January 31, 2012 at 9:00 pm
02/01/12 Yuri’s Red Hand

Remember Yuri’s remote control. (Also here)

Well, I was planning on making Yuri blue, mixing Flineous (she she recently killed) and Kali the Hindu goddess of power. I was even going to post a venn diagram of Kali, Flineous, and a housecat with Yuri being where they all overlap. BUT, I couldn’t make it work without her looking like Neytiri the blue Pandorian from the movie “Avatar” (or Zhaan from “Farscape” if you’d rather). After much fussing and fidgeting and playing with various hues I decided on her new color scheme. Not what I had planned, but I am very pleased with it nonetheless.

Oh, and Dustin is back. You’d be amazed how many times I count the humans in each strip as I draw them (I know there’s SIX! SIX humas!) and then make sure I know where each character is. So easy to forget.

Let’s see… a couple links. And I received the amazing collection of Dicebox in the mail this week (with my own short comic of the charcaters in it), and am champing the bit to read it. Erika Moen and Jeff Parker finished their 102 page webcomic “Bucko” which is a very fun read (and they’re having a store sale to celebrate).

I have to start in on con reports, although 4 in a row kinda is daunting. And so… not today.

But huge. HUGE! I mean, they are asking other labs to double-check first, but the finding: neutrinos can travel faster than light. Amazing. Even breathtaking. I mean, it’s no greased dark light speed, but what is?

Of course, I’ve read some articles saying that it shows we can travel back in time, and I’m just not yet buying that. I mean, already we’ve found that on the atomic level things don’t confirm to normal physics in other ways. but whatever, who knows. It’s still frikkin’ amazing.
