Dead Winter
Hey, guess who has a guest strip running over at Dave Shabet's awesome zombie survival webcomic, Dead Winter? THIS guy! (Imagine me pointing at myself as I said that. Even though, strictly speaking, my hands were actually on my keyboard at the time.)
Click here to view the full strip!
There is something very significant about this strip for me... something that makes it different from any other comic, guest comic, or other piece of art I've ever posted online! I wonder if you can tell what it is? I'll spill the beans on Friday.

2012: Year of the 2012
Happy New Year! Let's kick things off right with a new comic. Assuming nothing goes wrong, there should be another 156 or so before 2013 hits!
True story: I inked the last panel of today's comic while I was on the ferry heading home to Victoria for the holidays, and for whatever reason, by the time I reached the last panel I was having trouble staying awake. You know what it's like when you start falling asleep in class and nearly fall forward and hit your head on your desk? That was me.
But I didn't really appreciate how far gone I must have been until the next day, when I was looking over the finished page. For reasons I can't even begin to fathom or explain now, I accidentally inked Devahi holding a large wooden board instead of a walkie talkie. See for yourself!
Remember, kids: Friends don't let friends ink tired.

Sam and Fuzzy Q & A: Last of 2011 Edition
Got a question you want answered? Just drop me an email with "Q & A" in the subject line!
"Why is Sam saying such a silly thing in the first panel of this comic? Seems kind of out of character! " -Jonathan
Whoops! My bad. That was actually Alphonso saying that line! In the original version of the comic -- which I've now fixed -- the speech balloon tail was pointed at the wrong speaker.
Errant speech balloon tails are one of the most common mistakes in cartooning! Right up there with Phooey Duck and colouring Sonic's arms in blue.
"Is fuzzy single? if so, what would be his ideal woman? " -Amy
I don't think romance is really on Fuzzy's agenda. Even when we've seen Fuzzy hit on other people, I think it's generally been more about looking macho or cool than about expressing any kind of real attraction. Maybe Fuzzy is just interested in his own species! (Whatever that is.)
PS: Unless, of course, you were asking this question because you want to know if you are Fuzzy's ideal woman. Good news! The answer can be yes. (For ten thousand dollars.)
"Re: last week's Q&A about "mature content": Sure, S&F has great caves, but there's awesome ninja action and sexy ladies too! (And bears, Sexy bears!) I think you're just making excuses for not doing insanely violent and/or hot comics. Get on it!" -Ben
To answer your question -- which is not actually a technically a question, but I'm not going to judge -- maybe I am making excuses! But to be honest, between Sam and Fuzzy, KNOW and YES Mag, and commission work, there's not a lot of time left for any extra comics, let alone insane ones.
I do like to think that deep down, I'm a cool person who lets the project dictate the content, and that if I ever was working on a story or piece that I felt really needed to be a "mature" one I would do it and not be a total wuss about it. Then again, I also like to think that shoes and socks look good with shorts. So, you know... take this with a grain of salt.
That's a wrap for this week! See you on Monday, team.
