GUEST STRIP – JOSH ANDERSON

And the guest strips just keep on coming!



What can I say, I figured if I'm out of commisssion, then it's just good manners to give you as many great guest strips as I can.



Give thanks to Josh Anderson for his contribution. I loved the Indiana Jones reference in the second panel as - in real life - I tend to invoke that quote whenever there is an obstacle that impedes me from doing whatever it is I wanted to do.



Mowing the lawn, for example. "Dandelions. Why'd it have to be dandelions."



I don't know.



Be sure to check out Josh's web site L.A.P. Dance Productions. In addition to comics, they have some great digital shorts, reviews and all-out rants. Lots of quality content to be found there.



I have one more guest strip for you tomorrow and then it's back to work on Monday. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Cami and I were threatening to see The Break-Up on Friday night, but the negative reviews kept us away. We'll see what the word of mouth is. I dunno, is it just me or is Jennifer Aniston incapible of playing anything above Rachel 2.0? She needs to do something like The Good Girl again and quick. If we see this movie at all, it'll be for Vince Vaughn.



Chances are we'll catch a matinee of X-Men 3 on Sunday. We actually saw it in France on May 26 - one whole day before you! Booyah! Downside was that (even though were had our fingers crossed for English with French subtitles) it was completely in French. We did a pretty good job following along, though. Big, dumb action movies like that... you're only job is watching things explode. But like I said, we'll catch the matinee in English to pick up on the more subtle points.



See you tomorrow!

GUEST STRIP – JONAH & JERMEY GREGORY

GUEST STRIP – JONAH & JERMEY GREGORY

Still recovering from my trip across the pond, but surprisingly, the jet lag hasn't hit me yet. I went back to work yesterday and was fairly functional! I'm just worried that at some point I'll be driving on my way to Arby's this weekend and a sudden bout of narcolepsy will drive me into the median. Keep your fingers crossed, kids!



Big thanks to Jonah and Jeremy Gregory for today's guest strip. I'm always a sucker for a great Muppet Babies reference! You should really check out their comic Random Pirate Comics. What's cool about it is that you're not enjoying one comic, but several! You have to visit the site to see what I mean. So what are you waiting for?



I know I said that the guest strips would end after today, but I actually got a couple more in my inbox that will carry us through over the weekend. The one I have on deck for Sunday will be a nice little bookend to my extended hiatus. But I promise I'll be back in action on Monday again.



At any rate, be sure to come back to the site both Saturday and Sunday for some extra goodies.



As I mentioned yesterday, in addition to extra guest strips, a few more pre-orders for the book came in while I'm away. We're closer to our goal, but still a long ways away. I've been trying to stay positive throughout the entire pre-sale event, stay excited and hopefully get you guys excited as well.



However, at this point, with the June 11 deadline for pre-orders looming, I have to take a more realistic approach.



I don't think we're going to make the goal of getting 300 books. What that means for those of you who have placed orders, I don't know. I'd still like to go forward with it. There are too many of you who've shown faith and support in this project to turn tail and run. Whether that means I order a lower print run and lose a cut of the potential revenue or if I try to scrounge up some money on my own to pay for the difference, I haven't decided.



But whatever the outcome, today is payday. So if you were thinking about pre-ordering a book at all, today is the day! PLEASE CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER YOUR COPY OF THE BOOK TODAY!



Thanks again to everyone for their support. One thing is for sure, this has been a real learning experience and I still think there are lessons for me to learn. So in the very least, I am greatful for that.



Talk to you soon!

GUEST STRIP – FULL_ABSOLUTION

GUEST STRIP – FULL_ABSOLUTION

Well, I'm back from Europe but the guest strips are still going strong. Good to see that the site didn't go wonky while I was away. I probably need to keep this brief since I'm still jet lagging and the typos are worse than ever, but Cami and I had a great trip and excellent weather throughout. I took over 500 pictures and some of them I'll be sharing as I transcribe my journal from the last two weeks on my LiveJournal page. I don't really want to advertise it here, but you can learn more about it in the THorum here, if you're interested.



Please give it up to full_absolution from Bradley Drawn for today's guest comic. I freaked out a little about the pot leaf in the second panel, but how are you going to do a strip about stoners without one? Truthfully, it's something I would probably toss in if I wrote this strip. I thought full-absolution did a good job of capturing that thing I do with the photos in the background sometimes.



Even thought the comic is currently on hiatus, you should really check out Bradley Drawn. It has a cool geometric cartoon feel that I like a lot.



I should probably mention that the deadline for the book pre-sale is closing in on us. Sunday, June 11 is the deadline and as you can see, we have a ways to go to make our goal.





Some of you have been ordering 2 books and that's phenominal. I say, "Keep doing more of that!" If you think you might have a little brother or a cousin that would enjoy a copy of the book come holiday season, don't be afraid to buy a copy now and hang on to it until December! Please click here to pre-order your copy today!



Obviously it was difficult to promote the pre-sale while I was out of the country, but now that we're nearing the home stretch, I'm going to make a big push for it. Help me out if you can. Be sure to spread the word to all your friends and forum communities!



In the meantime, it's good to be back and I'm ready to jump into things next week. I know it won't be as timely as it might have been otherwise, but I think I have some good ideas for making fun of The DaVinci Code and X-Men 3: The Last Stand.



Stay tuned!
