Hats off
Any Team Fortress 2 fans in the audience might be interested in checking out the commission I recently finished. This is actually the second time I've done a TF2/Sam and Fuzzy mash-up I've been hired by a reader to draw, and the dude who nabbed it took the opportunity to switch around some of the casting from the previous version. What Sam and Fuzzy character would you assign to each TF2 class? I think we can all agree it's an intensely personal decision.
Don't forget, citizens of Victoria, BC... I'll be in town this Sunday as a guest at a free comics event at Camosun College, as will a bunch of other cool cartoonists! I'll have plenty of cool Sam and Fuzzy swag in tow, and I'll also be participating in some sort of presentation about how being a cartoonist can be a real job and everything. (Something which never ceases to astound me, even now!) It should be a lot of fun.

Dev & Cat comics
No April Fools day joke here, team! But don't worry: Skull Panda has you covered.
A lot of the content of Sam and Fuzzy is the result of obsessive (possibly over-obsessive) planing. But the Devahi/Conscience Cat dynamic was just one of those happy accidents. I'm glad these two characters found each other, because I really enjoy writing them together.
Every time Conscience Cat appears in the comic, a well-meaning newer reader asks me if I'd consider making a t-shirt based on him. But there's no need to ask -- I already made a Conscience Cat t-shirt! It's actually my oldest design that we still sell, based on his very first appearance. We also have a whiteboard, but at this precise moment we're all out of them. Huzzah... more have arrived!

Sam and Fuzzy Q & A: Ending Edition
Got a question you want answered? Just drop me an email with "Q & A" in the subject line!
"Which desktop idea won the [...] book club poll for the next bonus pack?" -Mark
Right now, it is neck-and-neck between the fictional magazine covers idea, the Breaking Bad parody and the Ghostbusters parody. But there's still a few Book Club members who haven't voted yet! Speak soon, idle members, or forever hold your peace!
I think I might do the top two designs this time around, if only because I really like these suggestions!
"Are we gonna see some Soft Serv cameo in Sam and Fuzzy? …Will you at least trademark him before Sega does?" -William
Original character, DO NOT STEAL
"What is Mr. Tusk's qualification to be on the board? Judging purely by his attire, I'd guess he either runs illegal poaching operations, or an adventure supply store." -Duncan
Truly, the greatest mystery Sam and Fuzzy still has yet to explore. His attire does suggest a lot, but don't forget... he is also a Colonel! So maybe he's a military man, or possibly a fast food magnate.
That's a wrap for this week! See you on Monday, team.
