Comics are once again available for sale
Here is a list of frequently asked questions regarding the sale and distribution of Laugh-Out-Loud Cats comics:
If I order a comic, can I request what you put in it?
Sure! You can, but you don't have to. Lots of comics in the archives are the result of requests, though most aren't. There's a place on the paypal checkout to make a note, but if you don't see it you can email me. You can also request a cameo by a previously established character.
Also, I try to keep things on a "general audience" level (though if depictions of duck-hating, thievery, vandalization, loitering, and true tales of prison life offend you, you may want to click away. Also, I tend to glorify cigar smoking to a certain degree).
Do you smoke cigars?
No.
If I order a comic, how long will it take to get to me?
Generally a couple of weeks, though once in a while it can take longer if there's a backlog or other projects I'm up to my elbows in. If you have to have one right away (as a gift or something), I can usually make an exception. Again, feel free to email.
Why isn't the comic you sent me in the archive?
There are several reasons this may happen from time to time. One: I only post one or two a day now, so usually there are a bunch waiting to be posted. Two: I can't tell you the second reason at the moment.
Do you send comics outside North America?
Yes, at no extra charge.
When I buy a comic, do I own the copyright?
No, but you can post any of the comics on your blog or website (as long as you link back to this blog somewhere). You can also use them for buddy icons or avatars and such.
What's with the picture of Edmund and Regan?
I dunno. I found it in the creative commons pool on flickr.
I have a question but I can't think of it at the moment.
Go ahead and post it in the comments.
Are you grateful for my support?
Yes. Yes I am.
(No one's actually asked that last one.)
Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #767 (and a note)

Special thanks to Andrew for the idea.
---also please note the following information---
Comics will go back on sale sometime tonight, with some FAQs.

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #766 again
I'm testing out a new template here. There may be a few more adjustments on the way. I shoulda started posting these larger long ago.

This one was a special request. The lands of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Hobotopia come crashing together.
In the coming days, you may expect:
The return of comics being available for sale (now at twice the price... KIDDING!) I'll also have a sort of primer on the whole process for those who are new 'round here or who may have emailed me (I've been meaning to get back with you, really I have).
Your book. If you ordered a signed one.
Some slight redesigns to the blog here and there. Maybe a new template. I dunno. We'll see.
Also some more experimental installments. If I have the time.
Thank you.

fling! whizz! bonk! An announcement.
Onomatopedia.com

Earlier today on twitter I was making some attempts at wit in regards to wikipedia (for the record, wackypedia.com and wikipediatrician.com are both unavailable). A couple of comments later, cartoonist Pat Lewis sez: "Not sure if you're interested, but onomatopoedia.com is still available."
That got me thinking, and a few hours later (and your standard Web 2.0 letter removal) onomatopedia is here. It's based on the same sort of thing I've been doing here: drawing pictures in exchange for money. There may or may not be hoboes. We'll see.
There will be some samples in the coming days, and I certainly don't think anyone should order anything before then.
This has no effect on either Kitteh or Pip. Clyde seemed upset about it though.
Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #761 and another note regarding books

All signed books are in the mail, to points both foreign and domestic.
Please note: some of you may receive more than one in the mail. This is my error and I accept full responsibility for it.
If you do receive an accidental second copy, here are your options:
Give away one of them. Perhaps as a gift.
Or maybe you can frame it, though I don't recommend this option.
You could also bury one as a gift to future residents of your community. A time capsule, if you will. Please be sure to encase it in concrete prior to burial and notify your local department of records as to when it should be unearthed. You might want to throw some other stuff in there too. Avoid perishables.
Another thing to consider: if you haven't received your book within about a week or so (the "or so" especially applies to books sent outside North America), do not hesitate to email me. Thank you.
