OwOwOw..
Installing a new monitor to replace your 10-year-old(!!!) monitor is like putting glasses on your computer. Suddenly, everything is bright, crisp, and gives you a mild headache. But it’s all so beautiful.

The last New Page Day... →
..of the year. Man, no one has ever thought of that joke before, right!
Today’s New Page Day is a very revealing one: we learn that new character’s name and that Tristan is, indeed, completely useless. It seems like some other important point was in there somewhere, but whatever. Don’t remember it right now.

It's Wednesday, so happy New Page Day! →
Today’s New Page Day is a day when Arthur learns that most people don’t enjoy watching potential murders in action. Also, a new character arrives.
Anonymous asked: Hi, I'm a big fan of yours and I want to go in to illustrations too! I was wondering: how far a head of time do you do your drawings and comics and how long does it take to do them? Thank you muchly! ~kiri
aburningrose replied to your link: “Forever,” a short story.
This story is amazing! Do you have any plans to make more short stories like this? I’d love to read more! Keep up the awesomeness!
Thank you! We have made one short story before this called Every Day, but I won’t deny it— as I was drawing the last page of Forever, my wife said, “I have this other...

With the arrival of Page 8, Forever is now complete. Here is the story presented in its entirety for the first time:
And if you’re looking for single pages, you can still browse the Forever folder at DA.
We hope you’ve enjoyed the story!

Despite the fact that Congress was supposed to be out of session until the end of January, the Judiciary Committee has just announced plans to come back to continue the markup this coming Wednesday. This is rather unusual and totally unnecessary. But it shows just how desperate Hollywood is to pass this bill as...

Did you know that Jiew Meng makes one heck of a Tumblr theme? Because this looks pretty snazzy from not-your-dashboard.
Honestly, I’m not 100% sure if I properly linked things from here or not— because I run a tight internet-ship of “hell if I know” when it comes to how these sites run —but there is a proper Links page on this Tumblr, if you would like that sort of...

A Gentleman's Wager:
You guys. You guys, I triple-dog-dare you: Equal parts salami and marshmallows. It is freaking delicious. No. Seriously. This has nothing to do with the fact it is 2:18 in the morning, because it really works. Better than cemetery water, anyway. (And that’s a story for another day.)

Hatcher Pass Photo Album →
Back in 2006, during our brief stay in Alaska, my wife and I took a trip into the Talkeetna Mountains where we stumbled upon an abandoned gold mine in Hatcher Pass. The Independence gold mine is open to the public, but we seemed to be the only visitors for miles and miles around. Despite the fact it was mid-summer, the clouds were still heavy and snow sprinkled the mountains all around us.

Just a reminder to everyone in US.
grohac:
If you haven’t called congress and the white house about SOPA and NDAA you are part of the problem.
On the 220th anniversary of the Bill of Rights we are seeing the erosion of the core values imbued in the document that created the most influential nation in the world. Being born within its borders is a formality, you aren’t truly a citizen till you participate and act.
The country...
SOPA is on the Senate floor RIGHT NOW →

When PIPA reared its ugly head, I, along with countless American denizens of the web, wrote an appeal to my representatives to reject it. If you value net neutrality, it’s time to write and call your representatives again.
Like PIPA (Protect IP Act), SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is a vaguely written bill that poses a much greater threat to individuals, artists,...

New Page Day (Linked!) →
So, being a bit of a Tumblr noob, it never struck me that it might be easier to make the “New Page Day” notifications Link posts instead of Text posts— you know, so readers could just click the title instead of searching my rambles for the actual link. I just.. never thought of hitting “add description” and putting the rest of the talkies down here, and well-…...

APE IN A CAPE: If You Are Openly LGBTQ And You... →
gailsimone:
Or know someone great who is and does, I would appreciate hearing from you. Just a short bio on your work, and a link, if you have one, would be lovely.
It’s for something cool, but I don’t want to give away too much yet, while we are still in the very early stages. No one will be solicited or anything like that, no lists are being made up for any reason, just trying to get a good...

Anonymous asked: I saw your Zelda fan art on Reddit and also your color tut. but the coloring tut. doesn't match the fan art. How did you do that coloring then?
Anonymous asked: are you a boy or a girl? i'm confused.
awkwardpariah asked: FC, much like you I am getting tired of hearing about how our Congress has become a cesspool of corruption and nonsense (more than usual at least). I worked for these people when I was in high school as a Congressional Page, I saw the process in action, I know how it should work, and what I've seen lately is irrefutable evidence that we are loosing our Republic. What do you think is worse,...

Full-Page New Page Day!
Today’s New Page Day marks the return of full pages as Chapter 4 finally opens! I’d tell you more about what’s to come, but it would be too full of spoilers.

FUCK YES!
all righty!
awkwardpariah asked: FC, suppose SOPA, PIPA, or the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 all pass, and the President's veto's are all overturned. What then?

Yep, it's 2AM.
Things I have learned today:
It’s nearly an invariable fact that the sorts of things you don’t expect to do well on the internet are the ones that do.
Kid noses are very tricky to draw when they’re meant to be “unusually, but believably large.”
My cat will, in fact, dig his claws into the sides of my head in a panicked rage, but will graciously stop himself short...
Anonymous asked: Just read your comic - it's AWESOME! How often does new stuff come out? I'm hooked.
