(I won't be there. Even if I started driving now I'd never make it in time.)

Please note the corrected post below. Sunday marks one year, not tomorrow.
Also note: today's comic is the result of a leaky pen.

Please note--CORRECTION--

This SUNDAY (not Saturday as previously blogged. Sorry.) will mark one year since the (re)emergence of Kitteh and Pip.
I'll try to do something special. Maybe a nice dinner. A movie perhaps.


Oh, and I should do something for you all too. I'll try to think of something special for the big oh-en-ee.

Time is running out


c.e.m.e.t.e.r.y. II, originally uploaded by cheeky needle.

If you'd like to order a comic, tomorrow is the last day to do so for a while. Not forever, but for a while.

However! That does not mean I will stop posting comics here. New comics will continue to appear here six days a week. Timmo, who you may know from the comments and flickr, suggested I should post "classic" strips from months past on Sundays and I think that's a fine idea. Plus it's not very much work for me at all. It's like two clicks, if that.

There will be a comic posted shortly

Meanwhile, check this out:

Drawing day


The Drawing Lesson, originally uploaded by rick.


Drawing day is coming up on June 7th. That means I'll be drawing and filming and posting films of me drawing. Most likely to flickr or my youtube channel or both. Either way they will end up here too.
If there is anything in particular you would like to see me draw, let me know in the comments and I'll see what I can do. I make no promises though. Once a kid in high school asked me to draw a leprechaun fighting a polar bear and I still haven't done it for him.

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #841 and notes


Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #841, originally uploaded by Ape Lad.

Please note:
Not much is going on over at onomatopedia.com. It may slowly morph into an onomatopeia-based sketch and photo site in the coming weeks. I'm just not sure at the moment.
However, there is something going on over at http://onomatopoetically.com. Something wonderful. Give it a listen. My favorite so far is kadingdingdingdingkerplombus.
And on a final note: hey look, it's number 12. I was going to try to make a boot-based pun there, but couldn't. Or boot I? (See, it just doesn't work.)

Thank you, boot voters


boot design, originally uploaded by Ape Lad.


I haven't read the fine print too closely, so I'm not sure when the contest actually ends, but my boot is slowly hiking* it's way up the rankings over on the Dr Martens** site. Thank you for your votes***!

* ugh
** please note the spelling of "freedom" in the name of the contest. Why didn't I think of that?
*** You can vote once a day. Unless you have several computers or one computer with different IPs, in which case you can vote once per day for each IP to which you have access. Not that I would suggest such a thing, but did you know some libraries have entire rooms full of computers****?
**** I'm not sure why I'm so enthusiastic about this contest, most of the time I wear Vans (though I trust none of you will mention this to the Doc Marten people).

Sales of comics will go on hold May 31st


East Side Gallery, originally uploaded by laurenatclemson.


May 31st (not this but next Saturday) will be the last day to order comics for a while--probably about a month, maybe a bit longer.
But!
I will continue to post comics Monday through Saturday at unpredictable daily intervals, as is my custom.
Also please note: most comics orders are currently in the mail or will be in the morning. Thank you all for your attention, patience, and support.

If you were perplexed by the caption on the cover of the recent Byron Review, it should now be obvious that the artist was merely referring to this comic strip. I'm not sure what the hand coming out of the PSP is about though. See: kotaku.com/373262/you-will-fear-the-byron-review

(Thanks to Mark--who I've met in real life, and who can often be seen around Brooklyn sporting a fine t-shirt-- for the heads up!)

In 1912, the world was not ready for a ukulele/bassoon duo.
I ask: are we ready today?
