There is nothing wrong with your browser.

Also, as a reminder, if you don't check out the comments over on flickr, you are missing some pretty funny stuff.

Endorsed by cats everywhere

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #791


Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #791, originally uploaded by Ape Lad.

The video posted earlier tonight was actually supposed to show up several days ago.

You know what's a great movie?

Big Deal on Madonna Street is a great movie.

There will be lots and lots of comics uploaded to teh Foundlings group on flickr later this evening, though I should warn you there won't be any new ones for a month. If you choose to read them all in one sitting, you may regret it if you are used to have them doled out one day at a time.
If you'd rather not read them all at once, they will continue to be posted here on a near daily basis over the next month.
Also, if you've ordered a comic, it will be in the mail in the morning.

Spoiler Alert


Carbon Fiber Spoiler, originally uploaded by Tom@HK.


Later this evening, a full month's worth of comics will be visible to members of teh Foundlings group on flickr. You'll have to join to see them, if you want to see them. Keep in mind these are all of the new comics for the coming month. I will make comics from that pool public here on a near daily basis if you'd rather wait and read them one day at a time.

Does any of that even make sense?

(I tried to post this information from YouTube's "share this" button earlier tonight, but it still hasn't shown up.)

Teh Foundlings


Pip, originally uploaded by sandrino.


Have you joined teh Foundlings group on flickr? Maybe you should. I'll be posting tons of comics to flickr over the next few days (well, okay, about 30), but only opening them to the general public once a day over the next month. But! If you join teh Foundlings, I'll add you as a friend, thus giving you special access to the queue. Special access for special people.

Also, special thanks to Sandrino for the super close-up.

O TAI!

Here is the news I've been hinting at


Avalanche in progress---, originally uploaded by showmeone.


I got a job. In a little over a month I'll be moving to Utah to work for Avalanche Software, a video game production studio owned by Disney Interactive. I'll be a story artist working alongside friends and some very talented artists.

As for the cats, they are not going anywhere (aside from their usual ramblings). I'll still continue to post comics on a regular basis, usually six or more times a week. There is also big news on the horizon for Kitteh and Pip, though I'm not sure when I'll be able to announce that.

Also noteworthy, the other day I mentioned an upcoming visit to DC and NYC. I will be visiting this exhibit and reporting on my findings. Will I find an H in Sunrays there? If not, will I leave one? (Probably not, it is Federal Property after all.)(Thanks for the tip, MU23.)

Finally, it looks like paypal has properly fed the hamster powering their engines, so a few more signed copies of the book will be available here tonight, 9pm Eastern.

Here are some of the exciting elements and comedic devices you can look forward to in the coming days:

Pocky!
Purim!
A Skeleton or 2!
Something Astrological!
Bat-bo!
An Avalanche of rabbits!
And so much more!

Paypal problem


Alma & Flippers 007 copy, originally uploaded by giftedtypist.


Paypal is having scheduled maintenance or some such thing until 6am Eastern, so why don't we say tomorrow night (March 13th) at 9pm Eastern for the remaining signed copies of the book? Sound good?

The accompanying photo has little to do with the information posted, but I do feel it's noteworthy that there is a bar built inside an old oil storage tank.

Here's the winner from yesterday's Neatorama contest.
There will be another comic posted later tonight, as well as a preview of some of the upcoming things people have requested. You have not seen the last hedgehog in this strange little world I've fabricated out of ink and paper.

Also, I'll sell a few more signed copies of Meet the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats in about 2 hours.

Hoboes are hard to impress

Thanks, Richard, for bringing this to my attention.
Leaf monsters, Goldfrapp, and a hobo. Is there a more classic combination?

There will be a few more signed copies of the book available tomorrow


This Belongs in a Museum, originally uploaded by sandrino.


If you ordered a signed copy of Meet the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats and have not received it yet, let me know. (My email address is on my main site.) Unless you live far, far away from Florida, they should all have been received by now.

That said, I'll be selling a few (less than a dozen) more signed copies tomorrow around 9pm Eastern for those who missed the chance. Same deal as last time: $30, signed with a drawing inside, shipping included.

Also, more photos of books and lovingly framed comics are showing up on teh Foundling group on flickr. If you have a flickr account, post your pics here.

There will be a couple more chances to win a book: on Neatorama, and one as-yet-unannounced upcoming promotion.

BosWash


Reeve 91540, originally uploaded by otisarchives2.


This isn't too big a deal*, but later this month my family and I will be visiting DC and, briefly, NYC in the land of BosWash**. Most comics will be sent before we go but, as usual, I'll still be posting one a day Monday thru Saturday. Unless the CHUDS get us.

Also, we'll be packing chalk, if you know what I mean.

*Compared to another recent development which I'll post about later this week.
**I'm told no one actually uses this term, and it may in fact be made up for wikipedia.

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #779 and an important note


Submit a caption for this comic over on Neatorama and you could win the original. Please don't submit a caption here.

Also, and this is important, today is the last day to order a Laugh-Out-Loud Cats comic for a while. A couple of things have come up (which I'll announce eventually and which include a trip to our nation's capital) which require putting orders on hold.
However, the comics will continue to be posted six days a week with a couple of possible exceptions.



Also, please note this video, which Richard brought to my attention:

#777 was reserved some time ago with a request that there be an allusion to the metaphorical nature of our wandering duo and the eternal implications. I threw in the giraffe as a bonus.

Tomorrow I'll be at Mega-Con in Orlando, wandering around bumping into things. I'll also be taking pictures and maybe even making videos of people drawing stuff for Drawn.ca. If you are there, try to find me and say hi. If you aren't there, watch my flickrstream tomorrow night for photos of cosplayers, robots, and comic book superstars. I'll have a better camera this year.
