Turn up the stars

Happy Thanksgiving, my fellow-Canadians! Be sure to do something to make your day off memorable. You'll need those memories to look back on when you're stuck at work or school during the American thanksgiving!

Don't forget... Sam and Fuzzy has a fancy new message board that is just crying out for your participation. (Or maybe it's just crying, period. I know many other online forums that often have that effect on me.)

Inspiration is sold separately

Maybe it's just a result of the comic becoming larger and more visually driven, but over the last few months I've gotten a real surge of requests for commissioned artwork. For those who don't know, I do sell custom original art. Now, I admit it's not the sort of thing you can buy with an hour's wage working at McDonalds, but it's cheaper than a car and it's much easier to frame. If you have an idea of what you're after, you can always email me for a quote.

Most of the time people seem to want either portraits of friends or tattoo designs, but I can do pretty much anything you have in mind, provided you keep your mind out of the gutter. Unless, of course, you actually want an illustration of a gutter. That's cool. Who wouldn't?

I wonder what it tastes like

Have you seen all the hilarious new pics and movies of Snake's appearance in Smash Bros Brawl? I can't believe how accurately, or for that matter, how extensively, they are adapting the source material into the game. They really seem to be going the extra mile to fulfill every ounce of potential that the concept of a Metal Gear/Smash Bros mashup presents... even if that means letting Snake talk about eating Yoshi.

It's certainly a much more satisfying way to do a crossover than just shoving the characters' models into a pre-existing game template and ignoring almost everything else about them and their respective franchises.
