AVOIDANCE PLAN

Kind of ironic that a comic titled "Avoidance Plan" didn’t see a blog post until nearly 10:00 the night of the strip, eh?

Sincere apologies for my tardiness. It was just one of those days where life got in the way. It seemed to take a really long time to put together the comic last night and by the time I was done, it was 2:00 in the morning and I wasn’t in the shape to write. Work was crazy hectic, so I didn’t have time to write a blog over lunch. Then, when I got home, Cami needed the computer to write her final paper in her accounting class. So I haven’t been near the site all day!

So, again – my bad and thanks for your patience.

I have a bunch of site things I wanted to talk about. First things first – as always – the book pre-order. Sales are somewhat steady, but not exactly where I would like to see them at this point. So I’m extending this offer:

ALL ORDERS SUBMITTED DURING THE PRE-ORDER PERIOD WILL BE REWARDED WITH A BOOK SIGNING AND A NUMBERED, ORIGINAL SKETCH.

I understand that the whole pre-order thing is kind of scary. I know some of you are holding out because you don’t know if the book is going to get produced. It’s a totally "chicken and the egg" argument. Without your support and the money you pledge through your pre-order, I can’t produce the book. So it’s up to you guys to help me make this happen.

For those of you who have already pre-ordered, don’t worry. The offer is retroactive. And since the original sketches are numbered, that means those of you who ordered first get the lower numbers! Pretty cool, huh? That’s your reward for lining up first.

Original sketches will be available for as long as the pre-order is being conducted on the site. How long will that be? I’m not saying. Because that means I would have to tell you exactly how large the pre-order number has to be and I don’t want to reveal that. Some of you might see that number and think, "Oh, that’s not very many books. I’ll wait." I don’t want you to wait. I want you to order now because I need you to realize that the pre-order could end at any time.

So, anyway – that’s the new deal. Pre-order your book today and not only will I sign your copy, but I throw in a numbered, original sketch. It’s a hard deal to beat.

The next bit of site news I would like to address are our new sponsors! Say "hello" to each and all!

Random Pirate Comics – Is it really as random as it seems? It can’t be. This web comic is too funny. Check it out!

Digital Entertainment News – One of my most favorite video-game review sites. Seems like they’re adding content hourly! Lots of great game reviews and not just the big titles. Obscure stuff, too. And a lot of next-gen coverage, which is nice for someone like me who still can’t pronounce "Wii."

Big Pond – They’re not talking about the Atlantic Ocean, are they? Okay, they’re not. But I’m really enjoying this unique journal comic. The Devil Duckie is a nice touch.

The Uber Bean – College classes and online gaming. Is there nothing better?

Font Garden – Mary, Mary quite contrary – how do your fonts grow? If you’re looking for new and unique fonts like I am, check this site out. It’s the bee’s knees!

So those are all the latest sponsors. All the ad spots are filled for the moment, but we don’t have anyone waiting in the wings. So be sure to check the ad calendar to see when a spot will become available. Or reserve your spot now and claim it before anyone else does.

That’s about as much site stuff as I’m going to cram down your throat for one day.

Thanks again for checking back for the blog. I’ll try to do better on Wednesday!

I FORGOT – I NEED GUEST STRIPS!

Posted In: Blog

Holy crap!

I had so much big news to share about the book and the sponsors, I totally forgot to tell you guys that I am in dire need of guest comics!

Remember how I was talking about Cami using the computer for her Accounting final? Well, that’s because on May 14, she’s graduating with her Masters degree in Public Administration!

As part of that celebration, Cami and I are spending what little money we had left over from the last two years and going to Europe with it. We’ve both been to Europe on our own, but this will be the first time we’ve gone together. From May 18 to May 31, we’re going to Barcelona, Nice and Rome. It’s a dream come true and it significantly marks one chapter of our lives ending while turning the page on a new chapter.

As such, since we’ll be away for so long, I really need someone to help me mind the store. In other words, I need guest strips.

If you’re interested in contributing, I think it would be really worth your while. I have some ad purchase lined up with some pretty big web comics that is going to drive a lot of traffic to this end of the internet. So I’m sure you’ll get a little extra exposure from that since I plan on crediting everyone accordingly.

Please send me your guest strips as soon as possible to theaterhopper@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance for your help!
