Fool me once

Apologies to anyone hoping for some serious April Fools action around here yesterday. To be completely honest, I forgot all about it! And, in a sense, isn't that the funniest joke of all? (No.)

My good friend and one-man-cartooning-army Ryan Estrada was recently inspired to do a little unsolicited Conscience Cat / Skull Panda hardcore slash fanfic. Just kidding! It's a drawing, not a fanfic, and it's not at all sexual.

Or is it?

No, it's not.

Conscience Cat

Selecting new t-shirt ideas is a tricky process. They have to be based on a joke or idea that stems from one of my comics in some way -- that's the only real rule I force myself follow -- but which strips lend themselves best to potential shirt designs?

This is a subject that we don't all always agree on! Sometimes reader requests catch me totally off guard, suggesting shirt ideas that sound totally unfathomable and weird to me. And on the flip side, sometimes I write a joke that I think, in retrospect, would actually make for a fabulous shirt... until I find out that not a single other human being seems to agree with me. (Not that I have always let that stop me... HA!)

But right now, I think we are having a rare moment of alignment. Because a large number of you wrote in on Friday to tell me that you think Conscience Cat would make for a neat shirt. And this time, I think you're right! I was really happy with that strip, and I like how conscience cat's design turned out. So, I will see what I can come up with!

Yesterday, a guest strip of mine appeared over at Anders Loves Maria. You can check it out by clicking the image below:



My strip probably won't make much sense to you if you haven't read Rene's comic before... but if you haven't, you should! Just don't read it anywhere that frowns on cartoon people with crippling emotional problems and noodle-y naked bodies. Because that's two-thirds of Anders Loves Maria right there!

(The other third is yours to discover.)
