Commission season

Looks like I'm starting to get the traditional rush of pre-Christmas commission requests! If you're looking to get someone an original drawing for a gift, now is the time to let me know. (ie: The time where I am not yet too busy to take on any more.)

You can see some samples of my commission work on my tumblr and my somewhat out-of-date deviantart page. As you can see, I've done everything from Sam and Fuzzy-related art to dinosaur petting zoo murals to drawings of people's friends dressed up as obscure Dark Souls characters. If there's something you'd like me to draw, just drop me an email with your ideas and I'd be happy to give you some options and quotes.

Desert Bus For Hope Auction Today!

My insane pals from Loading Ready Run are once again enslaving themselves for charity in another round of Desert Bus For Hope. And like last year, I've drawn a special art piece to auction off for the fundraiser. This time, it's an epic showdown between gaming's two most famous copycats:

We're listing the piece as a silent auction, with bidding opening at 6am and closing at 2pm, PST. This will hopefully give more Sam and Fuzzy readers a crack at bidding and winning it than the all-at-once five-minute live auctions we've done in previous years! Good luck, potential bidders, and remember... it's for the kids.

In other news, I've gotten a lot of messages from folks who'd like to see the Ninja Mafia Wants YOU" poster from last Friday's comic transformed into a print. (A couple also suggested a shirt, but I think I already have my "Ninja Mafia" t-shirt base thoroughly covered.) Would you like to see it available in print form, too? Let me know!

PS: And speaking of prints, don't forget my terrifyingly dorky "Jokemon" print collection, which can be viewed and ordered by clicking the image below.

I'm almost loathe to mention it when it's still only mid-November, but Sam and Fuzzy Christmas cards are now available! It's important to mention these early, since some of you might be mailing them yourselves to their eventual recipients. There are three designs to choose from, and they come in boxes of twelve. (With envelopes, of course!)

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

"Speaking of Sin not being able to control Sam, [why not] kidnap Sam and send in a Sam robot? Sin does have Fuzzy robots so I guess he could send a Fuzzy robot in if Fuzzy becomes inconvenient. Right?" -Tom

Sin has definitely built some fairly convincing-looking "robot clones" in the past! (Although judging by his own appearance, I think he's better at bears than people.) But convincing AI seems to be a bit beyond his grasp. That's why all of Fuzzy's robot doubles, like Bonus, are more than a little bit confused and easily recognized as copies. (By people who know Fuzzy personally, anyway.)

Non of this precludes Sin from buildilng a robot Sam suit, though, provided he could find someone to pilot it! I'm just not sure how convincing the end result would be. Maybe we'll find out!

"Furff? " -Raj

This is the shortest question I have ever recieved! Is it a sound effect I used somewhere? If so, yes, that is absolutely the real sound effect that whatever-that-was would make. Trust me... I'm a professional!

"We know how Conscience Cat feels about using murder for career advancement, but how about other purposes? Like business negotiations? " -Stephanie

I imagine Conscience Cat would frown upon that as well. I'm not sure if he has a sign ready for it, though, so maybe if you do it quickly he won't have time to nag you about it!

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