Two Bits...

One, my apologies for the "outage" on the comic. Tuesday's didn't update properly, and I only had time to fix the front page. Wednesday's update should have sorted that out, ...

An Update on Commissions...

I've given it quite a bit of thought, and discussed it at length with others who have done such things (or commissioned such works) and I've decided that it basically wouldn't be fair to start accepti...

Not an April Fool's post

Something I sketched up a few months back. Sorry I haven't had time to do much else here, or for that matter come up with some brilliant AF gag, but hopefully this ought to keep you happy for a bit. :...

Also not an April Fool's post

Wet T-shirt Version. :)

Doc.

Commissions?

I'll start off by admitting I mentioned commissions below somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as I've offered a couple of times before, when I've needed a little extra bill money or the like, and got basically ...

Rear Window

Another impromptu collaboration. This time he was mainly going for the lighting through the window, which had a good start, but there were enough little errors with the figure itself I "had" to tweak ...

Something a bit different...

A friend of mine got into doing art a few years ago, and has tried almost everything from airbrushing to oil paints and does pretty well with most of them.

He sent me this pic, on the left, that he'...

And a little extra...

I was having a bit of trouble trying to lay out the comics for this coming week, so while I was pondering that, I was just idly tweaking the previous pic. Two-plus hours later... :)

Sitting Pretty

Needed a quick break from the hustle, put on some tunes and gussied up one of the recent book sketches. Also tried adding a third highlight color to the shading as well, which didn't work out too bad,...

Moar Book Sketches!

Busy week in the shop, had to stop and dump out the camera cards. Here's some quick-and-dirty snapshots of some more of the book sketches from the last couple of weeks.

At some point, when I have a ...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Or, for some of us, Happy Singles Appreciation Day, and Happy Half-Price-Chocolate Day Eve! :)

Pic based, of course, off the end of the recent "date night" storyline.

Doc.

Done!

As of today I'm fully caught up with all the book orders! I just have to take the last half-dozen to the PO in the morning and get them fired off, and I'll be 100% caught up.

I do have to apologize ...

Book sketches!

Figured I show you ladies and gents a quick sample of some of the sketches I've been doing in some of the books. The one at the top right is the first-ever book sketch of Cara, by the way. :) (And onl...

Wednesday Book Update:

Figured I'd give you ladies and gents a proper update, since there's a limit to how much I can stuff into a comic strip header. :)

As noted in Tuesday's strip (now switched back to a regular strip-o...

Book Update:

I honestly did not expect so many of you to buy full sets, otherwise I'd have put that option up before heading off to my Superbowl party. :)

I've now added that, and using that option saves you 10%...

Pssst!

Don't look now, but all seven TWB books are now live in the Online Store!  :)

Everything should be 100% functional, but ple...

Book Update:

I know I haven't given many updates on the books, but believe me, there's been plenty going on behind the scenes. :)

That photo above shows just what I finished up TODAY. (Saturday.) On Friday eveni...

A little something extra...

... To go with your cream and sugar. :)

Doc.

Beachball

Another heavily-reworked old book sketch. The original did not include the 'wardrobe malfunction'. :)

Doc.

I survived the 8.2 Earthquake...

... And didn't even get a lousy T-shirt. :)

For those people asking, thank you, the shaker was exciting for a few moments there. Probably the strongest 'quake I've ever sat through, even if they did...

Helping her with that snarl...

:)

Doc.

Rubber Duckie

We haven't had an art-for-art's-sake post in entirely too long, plus, let's just say I needed to take a nice break, put on some tunes, and relax a bit. :)

This is a rework of an old book sketch from...

Continued Apologies...

Sorry ladies and gents, I don't know why the comic hasn't been updating on time. We are, in fact, looking into it. Please bear with us.

Doc.

Happy New Year, Everyone!

I actually had a pretty decent 2017, and I hope yours was as well. I'd like to thank you all again for your support, it's been incredibly helpful and I'm still incredibly grateful.

Even if you're no...

My bad, my bad...

 This one was very much my fault, guys- I mistyped the file name for the strip into the scheduler and didn't catch it.

Instead of "twb2511.png" I missed it and typed "twn2011.png". I  ...

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Digging through my files to find what I need to put the books together, I ran across this bit of clip-art I whipped up for TWB, probably back around Christmas of 2005. We were probably doing the first...

Apologies on the update issues, updated!

 I/we still don't know exactly what's wrong with the updates. We thought  it was some kind of outage between my server and the remote server that  does the actual updating, but this is ...

Book Update:

A few weeks ago, I sent out early copies of the all-new Book 7 to the $25-and-up Donors... and have gotten two of them returned as undeliverable.

Aaron of Oklahoma, yours was listed as "address not ...

Just in case...

Friday's strip posted, both a tad early (yeah, like a few minutes :) ) for you nice people, and in case my hosting service decides to flake out on us for the third time this ...

An update and a big thank you!
