Holiday Order Alert! Today is the last day for international customers to order Sam and Fuzzy swag by Priority Mail and receive it by the 25th! (Orders can still be placed using Express until the 15th, but are more expensive.)

Old School

Book Club members! I have one final bonus goodie to announce, and I think this one is pretty special! On December 17th, in addition to a mighty swath of desktops, you'll also be receiving the first of several full never-before-seen Sam and Fuzzy stories from their prehistoric, pre-webcomic era.

These early comics were my first real attempt to turn Sam and Fuzzy into a proper, ongoing series. They are also, tellingly enough, story-based comics, rather than the stand-alone gag strips that made up the early years of the webcomic. I guess I was always destined to gravitate back to that format!

The stories are, of course, pretty rough compared to my modern work. But I think the Sam and Fuzzy hardcore will find them pretty interesting, as they also feature many early (and sometimes drastically different) iterations of concepts that eventually worked their way into the webcomic... a lot more than even I had remembered! Fridge, Sam's sister, the taxi, battling the supernatural for hire, and even Fuzzy's sitcom stardom all make appearances in some form or another.

Anyhow, the first story will be included in Bonus Pack 2, which will mail out on December 17th. The remaining stories will be included in future packs.

If you would like to join the Book Club, all you have to do is pick up a copy of Sam and Fuzzy Fix Your Problem sometime before December 15th! Everyone who buys (or has already bought!) a book sometime before that can look forward to receiving their free comics and desktops on the 17th. Bam!

Cards and Clubs

Whew! Today's comic was a bit of a workout to put together... especially with my regular computer temporarily out of commission! But what good is the "infinite canvas" of the internet if you don't use it to overwork yourself making overly-ambitious mega-comics? Nothing but cat photos.

Meanwhile, our Christmas cards are finally on sale! It's a bit close to the wire, but you've still got a good week or two to pick some up and assault your friends and family before the holidays hit. We have two designs to choose from, as you can see on the right!

What we will not have in time for the holidays, unfortunately, is the mugs! Hopefully, we'll be able to get our colour-changing production issues sorted out and have them on sale early next year.

And last but not least, I've put up a page showing off all the goodies that you'll find in the second Book Club Bonus Pack. If you'd like to score these goodies for yourself -- not to mention all our future bonus packs -- all you have to do is pick up a copy of Fix Your Problem by December 15th!

Here's a sneak peek at one of the two new desktops... an epic courtroom battle, attended by many a Sam and Fuzzy cast member and presided over by the honorable Judge Carlyle:

Q and Aaaaaahhh

Major apologies to fans of our traditional Friday "Q and A" feature! Today, my regular work computer (where all your emailed questions reside) decided that it was done with booting operating systems and would try its hand at being a big metal paperweight for awhile instead.

While I attempt to sort out my software woes, please enjoy today's comic, which (fortunately) was already finished! It's the last of our current chapter, but as you may have gathered, big things are ahead.
