We’re in to the last week of our contest and we need your entries. Don’t wait until the last day and give me a headache putting everything up at once. Also if you’ve been reading Comixpedia you know there’s a change in the prizes. We’re going back to the old trusty random winner. How will this work? First the staff will select the strip they enjoy the most. Then all the other submitters will be placed in big pin where a giant old women will spin them until one drops out. That lucky person will walk with 25% of the overall pot. This means everyone has a chance to win!

When Scott’s Collide…

If you've never heard people joke about how all you have to do to break into Web comics is be named Scott, now's your chance. I was just over as Scott Johnson's site, Extralife, and it seems Scott Kurtz of PVP will be sitting in on tonight's taping of Extralife Radio. This weeks show is supposed to be all about the world of Web comics so I will be listening intently. They do record the show live over Stickam with a chat room so if you feel like stopping by and spamming the words 'Digital Strips Rocks!' you have my permission.

As a follow-up to the recent review of You’ll Have That, Vol. 2, I shot Wes a few questions to get his thoughts on the criticism and to squeeze out any other juicy secrets while I’ve got the chance. Enjoy!

Do you plan on including more content/strips in collections for the future or are you happy with the size now?

Review of You’ll Have That Vol. 2 ~OR~ I’m Full, Yet Still Hungry

Posted on by

Sure, Vol. 2 of You'll Have That by Wes Molebash has been out for weeks now, possibly even months. And yes, I finished the book in less than an hour's reading time about two months prior to this writing. So why is this review so late in coming? Probably because I'm still not sure what I think of it.

To start with, I love You'll Have That. The premise hits home with me as a recently married man and I've been enjoying the non-threatening antics of Andy and Katie ever since I came across them a year or so ago. The comedy, as always, is consistent, fluffy, and sharp and the characters, though nothing conducive to dynamicism, are as lovable and huggable as ever. So why did I feel a sense of betrayal when I finished this, the latest volume in the YHT collection?

    Hey, folks. Just reminding y’all that we’ll be having ourselves our second Digital Strips Livecast this Wednesday the 14th at 9:30 Eastern. You can find it by clicking the link, and downloading the free software. Then, you just call in with Skype or your own phone. Simple enough, yes?

    In said episode, we’ll be discussing Achewood, by Chris Onstad. It’ll be an interesting show, because I love it and Daku hates it. We’re looking to have a lot of varying opinions from callers to figure out what makes Achewood so damned interesting, or what makes it so damned awful, depending on who you are. Expect lots of heavy analysis and child-like name calling.

    So. We’ll see you on Talkshoe, This Wednesday the 14th at 9:30 Eastern for the next Livecast!

    Digital Oddity: John Waters plays the Grim Reaper

    I picked up a print copy of ‘Til Death Do Us Part at NYCC but I didn’t realize it was a webcomic until I saw it mentioned on the blog Progressive Ruin. It’s a 12-page teaser for the Court TV show of the same name, and the comic won’t be winning any Eisner awards, but it’s worth a quick peek if only because the narrator is the filmmaker John Waters. You can see him looming evilly over the newlyweds on the front cover; inside, he plays sort of a Rod Serling role, introducing the story at the beginning and appearing at the end to tease the show.

    The story is a good example of why I don’t watch Court TV: It’s about an undertaker who is jealous of his saleswoman wife, with good reason. Although it starts cute, with him doing her makeup on the slab before she goes to work, Continue reading →

    Tania del Rio’s well drawn life

    The first thing you need to know about My Poorly Drawn Life is that it’s actually drawn pretty well. That’s because the artist is Tania del Rio, and there’s an example of her skill right here on the page: She drew my avatar. Tania is best known as the artist who brought manga style to Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She also co-authored the book Mangaka America with her husband, Will Staehle, and she always seems to have a couple of projects in the works.

    Each episode of My Poorly Drawn Life is a few pages long (up to 20, but most are much shorter) and chronicles a little slice of Tania’s life. She writes about visiting a haunted house on her wedding day, Continue reading →

    How To Con, New York Style

    This is probably true of almost every Con but I’ve only been to two and both are very different. 2007 was much better then last year but then that’s like saying this egg is better then that one because it doesn’t have an unborn chick in it. Last year was a disaster on a scale only New York can do right. I still had fun but it led to a lot of pre-planning this year.

    First let’s say that New York is a great location but a terrible place to hold a convention. All that stuff that makes NYC great (culture, easy to travel, huge city, history, etc.) make it a pain to attend. Continue reading →
