Phew. Been a week of catching up after Philly, and now onward to Minneapolis for:
ConVergence!!! a SciFi/Fantasy Convention
It’s at the Bloomington Sheraton Hotel. And I’ll be on the following panels on SATURDAY (click here for details):
9:30 AM – Humor Writing
12:30 PM – Prose to Comics
When I’m not on those, you’ll find me in the Dealer’s Room:
- Thursday: 2pm – 6pm
- Friday: 10am – 6pm
- Saturday: 10am – 6pm
- Sunday: 10am – 4pm
And in comic news: Rebecca Clements (author of KinokoFry) has a new webcomic: “Ruffle Hall.” Check it out!
A nice mention of Spacetrawler over at Fleen. Thanks, Gary! Also, kind words from Tristan over at Somninaut, and a very flattering paragraph about Spacetrawler (about 2/3 through the blog) which I missed back in May from John Allie (author of Sunrise).
Mmmmmm. Brain clamps & beer…
Typo alert! Second-to-last panel, Pierrot’s ranting should say “your race”, not “you’re race”.
Thanks, @SirBacon! Will fix in the morning! 🙂
and aren’t they kinda like a species rather than a race?
Excellent point, @Jo, I’ll probably change that too. 🙂
Good point. Freeing slaves can be dangerous.
Okay Krep and Pierrot are in great form in this strip! Even when he’s being totally serious Pierrot made me laugh twice! Between them and the King’s love bird (Just imagine every line delivered in a falsetto), that was a total of 6 laughs out loud!
And panel 9? That is the funniest, most irreverent description of nanotechnology I’ve yet read! I may ask your permission to clip that panel at some point, not yet but I’ll let you know.
I really don’t know where Pierrot is hoping to go with this argument, other than to his grave
What absolutely makes my day is the happy camper look on Oohlooh in panel nine! Kudos to Chris for that!
Typos fixed! 🙂
Chris,
I am SO bummed… I can’t go to Convergence. I have my limbic fizzler t-shirt I wanted to get you to sign and get a signed book and everything. 🙁
I should have bought early-bird tix. I have other stuff going on that means I just couldn’t swing the price.
I’ll be with you in spirit. Do you ever sign books that you sell online?
I was gonna go all geek fangirl too. Which probably means I’d go mute and wouldn’t say anything anyway… so maybe it doesn’t make a difference if I’m not there… haha.
If you see anyone from The Source – they’re the best comic/gaming shop in town. I hope you get good response from everyone here.
Prairie, I do sign books any shirts or books people buy OR bring. And I happily do doodles and even sing. Dancing is contingent on my mood.
23% murder rate?!
Them unclamped Eebs must have been REAL good at building little Eebs!
@Leland .
ror.
I thought we South African’s are the worst killers.
Well, maybe not much if their population is in thousands of billions.
