Tom cleans up pretty well in today’s incentive sketch. Click here to check it out and don’t forget to vote every day!
Still working on the storyline that I started last week regarding the opening of the Century 20 here in Iowa. I hope you’re enjoying it so far.
For those of you who are curious, yes – I did make it out to the new theater this weekend and christened the experience with a showing of Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle. How was the movie? Not bad! Wasn’t a gut-buster, but I found it consistently clever. If I wasn’t laughing, I had a smile on my face throughout the whole thing. It’s definitely a step up from Dude, Where’s My Car for director Danny Leiner.
The theater itself was outstanding. I don’t think I could do it justice trying to put it in words. The seats were very comfortable and not only were there no television commercials in front of the movie, but no movie trailers either. I’m serious. It was lights out – MOVIE. I can’t remember the last time I had an experience like that!
Enough ranting. I have some site business to take care of.
First, be sure to visit our newest sponsor Digital Pimp Online. One of the artists there is Joerules from our very own THorum! You might remember that Joe did an awesome guest strip for me while I was away with Memphis with a little help from fellow THorumite, MadMup. If you want to check out a sample of his work, click here.
Second, Mitch Clem asked me to do this for him and I have no problem going out of my way to do so. To help raise awareness to his attendance at Wizard World Chicago, Mitch will be updating Nothing Nice to Say EVERY DAY this week. What are you waiting for? Check it out.
Mitch and I will be sharing booth 9131 A & B this Friday, Saturday and Sunday with Zach Miller from Joe & Monkey. Click here for more information about our joint appearance.
Which leads me to point number three… Check out Zach Miller’s Joe & Monkey. He’s been updating every day now for a couple of weeks and the comic is really good! Show him some support.
Fourth, congratulations to Jenny and Craig who got married this weekend. Thank you for inviting Cami and I to share in your day. Before I left their reception this weekend, Jenny said “I want to see us mentioned in your blog!” Truth is, I was already planning on it! We had a great time, guys. Many years of happiness to you both!
That’s all for shout-outs at the moment. This week is going to be really hectic in preparation of Wizard World. I’m leaving Thursday afternoon and hope to be in Chicago that night. The convention floor opens up at 10 A.M. on Friday, so I have to be ready to go!
I’m going to try and work ahead and have Friday’s comic ready for you before I leave town. I won’t have access to the internet while I’m away, so this is the best solution. I’ll probably draw next Monday’s strip while I’m at the convention and then post it once I get home Sunday night.
That’s it for now! Talk to you soon!

Is it possible that humble theater employees leap into action as dashing super heroes when you’re not looking? Hey, stranger things have happened!
For those of you wondering how I am planning to wrap up this now month-long story arc like I said I would on Monday… Well, I’m not. I’ve decided that I can’t deliver the emotional closer of the arc in the time I allotted myself, so I’m stringing things out for another week. Hopefully that is satisfactory with everybody. Even though I am having some of the most fun I’ve ever had drawing these strips and telling these stories, I fret every day that there are readers out there rolling their eyes and saying “GET ON WITH IT, MAN!”
But trust me. After next Friday, it’ll be done. I have the conclusion plotted out, written down. It’s 90% in stone. I say 90% because I’m sure there will be some small dialogue revisions here and there. But as far as the pacing and the structure are concerned, it’s set.
Oh, and did I mention there will be SPECIAL CAMEO APPEARANCES in the upcoming strips? I figured the story had grown to epic enough proportions that a little cameo action wasn’t out of the question. Be on the lookout for that.
Is anyone going to be that upset that I’m not talking about movies for another couple weeks? There really isn’t that much out there worth “Ooohing!” and “Aaahing!” about. I guess I was pretty surprised that the new Julianne Moore flick The Forgotten pulled in $22 million this last weekend. Especially considering that Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow has only made $26 million in TWO weeks. Considering it cost $70 million to make, I think we can label it a flop. I haven’t seen it yet, but I have a feeling I would like it. Too bad it’s not doing so well. Hopefully it can make up the difference on home video in a couple of months…
I’m still kicking around the idea of collecting these strips into a mini trade paperback. It’s probably a good thing that it’s going on a little longer. I can add a few more strips to the book to keep it from being pamphlet size. Of course, I’m still considering the option of adding extra bonus strips to sneak into the story between comics that appear on the site. That’s so you’ll sleep a little better a night having bought something a little more exclusive than what you can already get on the site for free.
First day sales of the brand new Spoiler t-shirt have been strong. People seem to be really enjoying the color and style options. I know some of you are waiting for payday before buying your shirt, but don’t worry. I’m accepting pre-orders through October 15. Many thanks to those who have already purchased your shirt!
That about does it for me. Not much news to report. I’m just plugging away at the comic, hoping you’re enjoying it! I’ll be in touch again soon!
