First and foremost, I’d like to make sure that everyone knows that the “tweedy, arrogant professor” in our (now legendary) 50th strip was our mentor/hero/friend, Joel Priddy.
What some of you who are less familiar with Joel’s work might not realize is that Joel was actually responsible for drawing the cartoon version of himself in said comic.
It was very cool of him to do it and a big thrill for me to get to have a quasi-collaboration with him again.
While we’re speaking of people being less than observant, I figure now is as good a time as any to mention that we are now bearing (and baring) advertisements.
You may notice one just to the left of what you are now reading. At the moment of my writing this it is an ad for some kind of space-wolf that is apparently great at philosophizing about design.
I have no reason to believe this isn’t the kind of thing that a space-wolf would be great at, so I just accept it at face value.
It’s not a big deal, but if anything over in that space that has now been designated for “advertising” looks interesting to you, by all means, please click upon it.
Also, the recent comments section is now located just beneath the ad in case you hadn’t been able to locate it lately.
As the guy who is mostly responsible for what the comic looks like, I’m pretty proud of the latest strip. Not because of the art itself (though I do like that), but because thanks to this strip I now realize have a great career ahead of me in interior design for preschool classrooms when this comic thing doesn’t work out.
Whoa, that thing’s getting dangerously low! I better wrap this up.
I’ll try to be less boring next time.
