Thursday night I went to hear and see David Rees read from his book HOW TO SHARPEN PENCILS. Here's a recap of the momentous evening. While visiting his tumblr, poke around to see if he'll be in your neighborhood as part of his book tour. It's well worth your time, and his book is well worth your money. It's funny and sincere and will likely teach you a thing or two about sharpening pencils and being sincere.
Here's my latest design up for voting on woot. It's not typical of the type of thing you're likely to see from me, so take a look and vote if you can or want to.
Speaking of woot, this shirt is still available. It's still selling, so it's still available. That's the woot way.
And finally, I don't think I've mentioned this in a while: if you have a shirt I've designed and are willing to post* a picture of yourself or loved one wearing it, send me a link and I'll send you an original drawing. It's my way of saying thank you, which I'm always kind of worried I don't say enough.

*somewhere on the internet like flickr or instagram or twitter or posterous or tumblr or yfrog or photobucket or imgur or lockerz or whatever.

That's a lotta blossoms!
A couple of brief points of interest:
This is still available over at woot. Thanks to everyone who bought it and wore it and integrated the phrase into daily conversations.
I also designed a shirt for John Moe's wonderful Minnesota Public Radio show called Wits. It's available at their live shows or here.
Finally: check out my flickrstream, about two images back from this comic, for another piece of exciting news.

They're in one of those potato peeling jails.
Most wardens know potato keys don't work, so Pip would have learned one way or another.

This video will change your life, or at least your Thanksgiving

...I've been thinking about it all day, and hope I don't forget it come November.

don't vote for this*

Don't click here and then click " I don't want one."
Also be sure not to click here to see who can't vote in the derby.
And finally, look away from the anthropomorphized monstrosity!

Bad evening!

*This has been my attempt to see if reverse psychology only works in sitcoms and Superman comic books. I'm no trained psychologist, but I'm pretty sure "reverse psychology" is the same thing as "opposite day."

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #1935 and a barrage of links!

This comic is a thinly-veiled promotional tie-in to the shirt available on shirt.woot tonight. Here's the link! Tell all of your artichoke loving friends and enemies!
While you're at it, there's still a chance to vote for this week's derby entry, featuring a picture of a bear I drew. Here's the link for that.
And another thing: have you tried out about.me? I set up a profile there. You can find a link to my instagram profile there, which is now more open to people with other types of phones and devices!
Also: coming soon, if you're into this sort of thing: an email digest to which you can subscribe. No ETA on that yet, but I think it's a good idea for those of you who would prefer I didn't dump a bunch of hyperloquacious links here. Some of you are just here for the cats, not the chats, and I respect that.
Finally: thanks!
