Think you stole my lunch money made me cry



I'm leaving for San Diego in a few days. My newsposts will probably be a bit sparse this week because I'm busy getting ready for the convention. And while I'm gone, there probably won't be any newsposts at all! However the comic will be updating as usual while I am away, so you don't have to worry about missing out on your usual doses of Sam and Fuzzy nonsense.



My printer is hard at work assembling many, many copies of the new book. I should have a small number of them ready just in time for me to take along to San Diego, and the rest should be finished by the time I get back. Woo!

The bad kind of hugging



The story of Chompy is probably one of the most well-liked in the Sam and Fuzzy archive. It's one of my favourites, too. Chompy's full origin story can be found here. It can also be found in sexy, eye-friendly dead-tree format in the first Sam and Fuzzy book. (The one with the tabloid magazine parody on the cover.) Finally, the single strip explaining how he came to live with Rikk is right over here.



It was also a lot of fun to be working with Rikk again. I still had Mr. Estoban and his brainfork fresh in my mind after using them in the original bonus story for book two. The real Rikk gets a little grumpy about how goofy I depict his cartoon counterpart, but honestly, I think it's a lot closer to the truth than he'd like to admit!

Objection!



Phoenix Wright is seriously addictive. And the cast and storylines are so memorable and thoroughly developed, much more so that you usually see in a videogame. (Especially a handheld game!) It kind of feels like you're playing a videogame adaptation of a TV show that doesn't exist. No wonder this game has earned such a sizeable cult following.



I particularly enjoy the way that Phoenix never settles for just proving his client is innocent. No, he always manages to prove who the real criminal as well, even though he is only a defense Attourney. My mother says it reminds her of Perry Mason. I wonder if they ever got that show in Japan?
