Come see me at Gen Con 2015!
Guess what, pals: I'm at Gen Con! If you are at Gen Con, too, come visit me at booth 641:
There, you will find not only myself, but also a bunch of other cool webcomics folks from Weregeek, QC, Wondermark, and Blind Ferret. They'll also have a big pile of Sam and Fuzzy swag, including copies of the new RPG!
Since I'm busy Gen Con-ing, this will be the last newspost for this week. But there will still be a brand new comic on Friday, as always, and another new one on Monday (both of 'em jam-packed with craziness). 'Til then, team!

GEN CON this week!
You recognized Sin's Brain Duplicator, didn't you? Of course you did!
Anyone out there planning on attending GEN CON this week? I'll be there -- hanging out with my pals from QC, Wondermark, Weregeek, and Blind Ferret at Booth 641. If you're going to be at the show, be sure to come by and say hello! They'll have Sam and Fuzzy swag-a-plenty there, and I'll be happy to draw and/or sign for anyone interested.

Sam and Fuzzy Q & A: Penguin Edition
Got a question you want answered? Just drop me an email with "Q & A" in the subject line!
"Is Sin a space gopher as was hinted at by Malcolm early on?
...Or since you can't answer that, will we ever see, even as a passing call back joke in the underground, a space gopher?" -Carl
"Space Gopher" was Mr. Black's derogatory nickname for Sin's true form. Malcolm overheard the term (thanks to his radio-signal-recieving head) and, as Malcolm is wont to do, interpreted it very literally.
So, on the one hand, there is no actual species that is actually called a Space Gopher. But Mr. Sin is a creature that came to Earth, and Mr. Black did think that creature looked something like a gopher. So it's plenty confirmed in that sense.
"Why is the Patreon 'Secret Art Vault' a secret? What are you hiding, Logan? Is it porn? It's porn, isn't it." - Michael
It's "secret" because the contents are a surprise. Everyone likes surprises! (Also, there are more than 600 files in there, so it would actually be kind of difficult to try and explain what every single one of them is.)
Basically, it's a bunch of folders that I'm filling with anything and everything that I think might delight a fan of my work. There are desktop backgrounds that aren't available anymore, comics that haven't been or can't be published anywhere else online for various reasons, commissions and art that I drew for individual readers and never shared elsewhere, hi res versions of pieces from my art books, layered photoshop files for people who want to see how my art and comics are constructed, and lots and lots of Sketch-Off pieces. And I'll be adding a few new surprises each month!
Sadly, no, there is absolutely no porn. Sorry! There is some of my pin-up art and commission work, though, or as I like to call it: porn for sissies. May its slightly provocative swimwear and occassional butts and nipples be a lone droplet of water in the middle of your erotic desert.
"Do you work from home? What's your workspace like?" -Gabriel
I do! Here is a terrible photo of my setup that I took RIGHT NOW:
The left side of the desk can tilt up on down, depending on whether I'm currently using it for drawing or for computer-ing. The rest of the office is not very glamourous... it's mostly storage space for all my con merch, art supplies, and graphic novels!
That's a wrap for this week, friends. Come back on Monday for more comics!
