New England Webcomics Weekend

Oh my goodness, team! New England Webcomics Weekend is happening this... uh... weekend.

Anyone who was there last year could tell you why I'm so excited. I'm pretty sure it's the largest gathering of webcartoonists on the face of the earth, and the whole show has a wonderful casual, friendly tone that would make any other con envious.

I'll be in the Topatoco offices (with about a zillion other Topatoco artists), and every single shirt and book I've got will be available there. (As well as a new print or two!)

If you can get your butt to Easthampton this weekend, then seriously... grab yourself a ticket and come on by. You won't regret it!

Sam and Fuzzy Q & A: Family Bear Edition
Got a question you want answered? Just drop me an email with "Q & A" in the subject line!

"Have you seen this?? Why don't they just come right out and call it Sam & Fuzzy?" -Binah

Actually, it is! It's an adaptation of a special series of guest strips Seth MacFarlane drew for Sam and Fuzzy. They'll be running for the next three months, starting on Monday. Here's a preview:



"Is Fuzzy actually a midget with hypertrichosis, and not a bear at all?" -Dane

Probably not! But maybe. Yes! No. Time will tell. Next question!

"How on earth does Dr. Crab keep his human charade up in such a believable fashion? Wouldn't his glorious shell exoskeleton and piquant red hue of the crustacean variety cause some people to question his origin? (Or perhaps is the assumption some wildly exotic skin condition.)" -Pitan

I'm not actually sure what colour Dr. Crab is! He was yellow on his now nearly defunct t-shirt. Are t-shirts canon?

In any case, I think people in the Sam and Fuzzy universe are generally used to a... er... "broader" variety of facial characteristics among humans. Consider the members of Noosehead, or Mr. Sin's exoskeleton, or even Sam. I imagine when you're used to regularly seeing people without ears or noses, you'll also probably be a little more accepting of a dude with a big yellow head.

"What started your rivalry with Jeph, author of Questionable Content?" -Benton

The same reason all internet feuds start... to generate more traffic!

(You can actually read all about it, as it was happening, in this comic's newspost, as well as the two that follow it.)

That's a wrap for this week. See you on Monday!

"Last Chance" T-shirts now $15

Hey, didja see Instant Classic's idle mention of the events of our last story? Who knew that all this crap was canon!

In other news... as you probably already know, Topatoco is clearing out a few of our older shirt designs. We're down to our last handful of random sizes... but we really want to clear the rest out.

So from now until Halloween, Topatoco is sweetening the deal by dropping the price. All our remaining "last chance" shirts are now only $15! So if you want any of the designs below, have a look and see what sizes we've got left.
