News: August 2002

    Abe Sterbenz brings us today's guest comic (a bit more than two years since his last one). Big thanks to him, as well as to the individual who gave him the idea (whose name Abe now forgets. :-) ).
    Meanwhile, my deadness continues. As much as I'd like to blame David Willis, it's actually because I'm moving at the end of this week (exactly one block away from where I live now. Gah). I also have all sorts of stuff to arrange with the university before that starts up again. So Avalon's been kicked by the wayside (again) until I have some time to breathe.

    Alright, there will be a new comic tomorrow. I can guarantee this, because it's already uploaded. I'm just taking advantage of David Willis's variation on a theme...

    Make that 154...
    David Willis presented the above drawing a while back in the forum, but since it *cough* pretty much accurately depicts what happens next in the storyline, it goes on the front page today.
    And an era has ended, as Ein Stuck Natur has finally concluded. My thanks go out Vincent D'Arrigo for making a comic I could be a slaving fanboy over. :-)

    After a deleriously busy weekend, I wasn't able to get a comic done for today. I am now... 153 days behind schedule. Meanwhile, Adam Osterhaus sent me this guest comic. Joe and Ceilidh do seem superfluous, but the play-on-title was worth it. :-)
    Meanwhile, Aaron Farber -- the coolest guy in Keenspot, and the slimy bastard who ended Pentasmal -- has started a new comic, titled Men in Hats! Check it out now! DO IT FOR THE EIGHTIES!! (Note: Men in Hats has nothing to do with the Eighties)

    The Cast page has received a long-awaited update. You can find it under About.

    I just got back from Comic-Con in San Diego, which was a complete and utter blast. I had a great time with everyone there, including many other Keenspot/space artists. I also got completely worn out, and jet lagged to hell. :-) Add to that the lab report I have due tomorrow, and we get another missed update.
    In lieu of actual content, there are a choice few photos I took while at the con (from among the 176 MB of photos/videos I took). The top one is a place mat at Dick's Last Resort, an "unfriendly" restaurant near the convention centre... David Willis did a pretty good rendition of Ceilidh (and then gave her some really disturbing dialogue. :-) ). Next are Ceilidh and Phoebe in Team Canada jerseys, 'cause I was bored and started to get uncreative (the Ceilidh drawing was purchased though... where else can boredom be profitable?). And finally, A Stikfas action scene... Stikfas being this new Hasbro action figure that's very customizable and posable. They were pretty popular at the Keenspot booth on Sunday.
    Anyways, watch for a new comic strip(s) here tomorrow.

    Unfortunately I couldn't get Monday's comic finished before I left for San Diego yesterday, so there won't be any new comics until Tuesday.

    The Ein Stuck Natur archive is back online! There's also a whole bunch of extra stuff I wasn't aware existed before. Anyways, go take a look!
    And some bad news for anyone hoping to pick up Tae Jensen's guest series in printed form this weekend. I didn't have nearly enough time to work on it, so it won't be available at Comic-Con. However, I've received so many e-mails asking for it, that I'll work on printing it after Comic-Con and making it available for purchase online.
