Once in a while I just can’t whittle a comic idea down to 2 rows. Which means, oh yes, more comic for you!

And if you missed it, there is a totally new shirt in the store:

Inspired by this comic right here, where Eve champions the concept of puppy chasing.

No pre-orders for this one — it’s shipping NOW! So order one today at the Topatoco store and you will be looking sharp in no time.

The LEC twitter feed is sort of like Mojo’s little brother in that we both learned how to fish together, have the same blood type, and are both the sexual offspring of our mother and father. But also though, we tend to post about a lot of the same things. Look at all the news they pointed out that we would have done ourselves if they hadn’t have been so happy to do our work for us:

• There’s an excellent (and possibly the first?) official LucasArts podcast with the sound guys of MI:SE, including the legendary Darragh O’Farrell (voice director on The Dig, CMI and EMI, and the guy who cast Dom!). The discussion is great, and includes an amusing anecdote about snatching Earl Boen despite his retirement in Hawaii.
  
• Ron did a write-up about the general awesome insanity that’s going on with LEC’s old games.
  
• The Dig apparently made the cut of some list of great game locations.

I wonder if LEC is enjoying the newfound delights that come out of, you know, having an active relationship with its fanbase.

"Whereas Malfoy's becoming a fully fledged evil person, Harry is
maturing into this real fighter," says Radcliffe. "He's not a boy
anymore, he's a soldier who knows what he has to do. He's set himself
goals, along with Dumbledore. I see Harry becoming Dumbledore's
favorite foot soldier in this film."So says actor Dan Radcliffe in the USA Today, echoing remarks made to TLC earlier tonight du...

Earlier tonight we were able to broadcast live from the red carpet for the premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in New York City. We now have press photos to show you from the event, starting here in our Image galleries. The premiere saw Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, Dan Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, Warwick Davis, director David Yates, producers...

When I moved to Toronto I took a computer monitor with me, and it was an CRT that I'd already had for a few years already. This was this was the monitor I used when I applied to grad school and the monitor I used when starting Dinosaur Comics.

This monitor had served me well, but the past year or so it was clearly dying. The display would get fuzzy, and then snap back. Now I use three monitors and this was on the screen I used mainly for status stuff, so it was okay. I could still read the text when I needed to!

It was getting old though, and this morning I actually thought I was watching it finally die: the screen slowly faded to black, over the course of about 30 seconds, like a movie would fade to black over a particularly dramatic coda. These were my thoughts as I watched my windows fade away. Even the little green power light on the front of the monitor faded with everything else. My old monitor faded to black I watched it die. Goodbye, faithful hardware!

BUT THEN it faded back! You guys, it faded back just as it had faded out. It was a death-bed deke, and I was totally taken in. The monitor did this cycle a few more times, but I was wise to it now. I wasn't going to be taken in again. Eventually the monitor stopped fading out entirely, and we both got back to what we were working on before.

That was this morning. Just now, it faded to black and hasn't recovered. The power light has died with the screen too, but its switch is still in the "on" position. Okay, so just now I turned the power off and on again and the monitor recovered perfectly fine. MAN I GOT DEKED AGAIN.

Okay, so clearly this monitor is sick but doesn't want to die; it wants a peek at its obituary before it goes. Well here you go, monitor, I've moved this window over to you and I'm writing this on you and this is your obituary. If you do anything awesome after I post this I'll update it appropriately, but I think this is where our two paths diverge. You have been a good and faithful monitor and I will probably not forgot many of the things I saw through you.

You were a good monitor!

We now have photos of Dan arriving at the studio to tape the show earlier today, then making his way over to the premiere of Half-Blood Prince. We will have the video from the appearance up later, stay tuned!Reminder too, Dan and Rupert Grint will both b...

Today, at work, we decided that if you eat twenty boxes of cookies in one sitting, you turn into Fat Albert. If you eat twenty boxes of rice crackers, you turn into Michael Jackson.

My co-worker T put a Louis Wain cat on one of the layouts, as a portrait hanging on the wall. It's this one, more or less. I hope they leave it in.

Right now I am making a veggie stir fry that is so huge and so mighty, it's busting out of the skillet. Tomorrow's lunch = free leftovers, yay (unless I eat them all later, which is likely).

I keep thinking of ideas for little comics, but have no energy to draw anything when I get home anymore. It sucks! New doc and I are looking into possible solutions for my perpetual anemia, though, beyond "eat more spinach" or whatever – or, well, possible reasons for it. We'll see what happens.


...wait why is there a mellow acoustic cover of 'Hey Ya' playing on this show, what is going on
