I have begun running ads for Weapon Brown on various websites using the Project Wonderful service. So far I’ve seen a lot of hits, but no comments that I know of from new visitors.

So, if one of my ads has led you to this dark corner of the Internet, don’t be afraid to add a comment and let me know!

Here’s a bit of instant karmic irony for you: National Review Online has an editorial written by John G. West, a creationist with the Discovery Institute, trumpeting the passage in Louisiana of some academic sodomy bill that will allow teachers to start slipping creationist bullshit about panda thumbs into their science lessons. Read it here,  then go to the top of the second page where he starts talking about “scientific ‘facts'”, and look at the ad right below that paragraph to see just where creationists are getting their “facts” from (note: you may have to refresh the page).

Back in Brown

That surly cyborg of mine returns today to begin the second chapter of Blockhead’s War. I hope there are lots and lots of you who are excited by this, or else my life has been a gigantic sham.

In fact, Weapon Brown will be occupying a significant portion of my time for the rest of the year, as I strive to complete Blockhead’s War and assemble it with the existing Weapon Brown material for my long-promised Weapon Brown graphic novel, due to hit stores in 2009. 

In order to pull that off, I am for the time being going to reduce the number of comic updates from three to two a week, those being Mondays and Wednesdays, so as to maintain a consistent schedule (Weapon Brown is a little more challenging to draw than Beepo and Roadkill. All those little gears in his arm take about 51 hours to render, and then I must run the art by some engineers at MIT I have hired to ensure plausibility).

To that end, Beepo, Roadkill and Squints will be taking a hiatus while I keep the Browniness flowing. They are by no means defunct, however! I am already drawing the next chapter of their adventures, which I assure you will take my lovable misanthropes into very, very uncharted waters. They will be back in full force around January, by which time I should have wrapped Chuck’s adventure up and slapped a bow on it.

In the meantime, I think you are going to genuinely dig the remainder of Blockhead’s War, which is going to be bigger, ballsier and more thrilling than anything you have seen so far as Chuck works his way up to the ultimate battle with a certain boy and his tiger.

So fasten your safety belts…then unfasten that shit! This trip ain’t gonna be for pussies.

Mistake? No…Mystique!

I am beginning a series of E-Bay auctions to bring my glorious art to a wider audience. As usual, I hope that no one but my regular followers here at Whatisblahblahblah.com purchases the art, but I have recently gotten into this whole “democracy” trend, and so I cannot deny the winning bid to anyone based on race, creed or website affiliation. Once you see what I am offering, however, I am certain that at least one of you will snap it up like a Slim Jim!  

So here is this week’s enticement, the alluring Mystique! 


This artwork is 11 x 17, and rendered in pen&ink and marker on Bristol, and is a perfectly sensible outlet for your lingering adolescent  Smurfette fantasies. 

The auction is live now. Don’t be bashful! 

I also have a couple new pieces for sale here and here on my gallery page at Comic ArtFans.com that will soon go up for auction. (But why not snag them now? Why, I ask you?)

Late comers

To see the amount of attention CNN is devoting to the recently rescued FARC hostages, you would think that their reporters had been slashing through the Colombian jungle for five years on a crusade to rescue the captives. I don’t remember hearing about these men once on CNN during their five years of imprisonment.

Now they are getting more face time than Anderson Cooper! Everytime I’ve gone to CNN.com this past week there has been another top headline of one of the former hostages decrying their FARC captors as “terrorists with a capital ‘T'” who dress in jackal skins and sacrifice unbaptized children to Chalciuhtlicue.

Not that I am unhappy that Keith Stansell, Marc Gonsalves and Thomas Howes–the three snow-white mercs working for Northrop Gruman whose spy plane crashed into the pie-eating contest pavillion during 2003’s festive “FARC Daze”–are now safe and sound and drinking Anchor Steam again. I just think it’s a little tasteless for CNN to pretend that they were playing Peggy Say for these gentlemen the whole time.
