Shaenon: A few final sketches doodled during the “Big Bad Wolves” arc. Okay, that got away from “Big Bad Wolves” pretty quickly. Whaddya want, I got bored drawing dogs and snow all the time. Now we’re on to a new[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: A few random thumbnails. For the record, the first strip was written by Jeffrey and originally ended with a silent panel and was really touching, and then I wrote in the stuff about dog sex. I…I’m sorry. Also, I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Chris and Marcie. I’m so happy to be doing more with the Department of Irradiation. Like I ever pass up an opportunity to draw more lab coats and goggles. The original concept for the D of I came from[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: A holiday pinup by Indigo of Kismetropolis fame. I do believe this is the first pinup of Marcie and Dr. Lee together, not to mention the first shot of anyone in an elf costume. And no, I don’t know[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Drawing a lot of chibis lately. Let me have my fun. Channing: Is there some reason we should not let you have your fun, when doing so produces cute little mini characters in this way? Also, please tell me[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: After seeing all the hard work Unity’s been putting into the cause, Sleepy John designed this “Lurch for the Cure” banner. Isn’t it inspiring? Also, would anyone out there be interested in a Fun Lurch T-shirt? Because I could[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Check it out! Not only did Sleepy John draw the Lurch for the Cure design seen last Sunday, he put it on an actual T-shirt, modeled here by the handsome and only slightly mouldering Andrew Farago. Thanks again, John![…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Yeah, I made a Fun Lurch T-shirt design. No idea if we’ll actually make it into a shirt. It needs an upbeat slogan. Channing: Remember last week when I said how I was mystified as to what it was[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: For Christmas, Jeff got me an out-of-print VHS of the classic anime Night on the Galactic Railroad, and I made him this new Skin Horse soundtrack. Alert readers may recall the first Skin Horse CD I made him back[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: A recent commission drawing. (I do commissions, you know.) The request was for the cast in an M.C. Escher-inspired setting. I don’t ask questions. I just draw. Channing: Imagine me rushing in late to this commentary box, knocking snow[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Thanks to Demothesis for these drawings of Unity and Tip. You know, I haven’t been drawing Tip as hairy as I used to. Is this good or bad? I always like drawing arm hair, but maybe I’ve moved beyond[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: This adorable sketch of Tip comes to us from cartoonist Bill Roundy. Click the link to his site for, as it says, all your Bill Roundy needs. Thanks very much, Bill! Channing: Squee! He looks so huggable!
Shaenon: Ooh, look at this! Jenn Manley Lee, creator of Dicebox, drew this lovely pinup of Tip in the “Dead Dogs”/”Big Bad Wolves” arc. It’s entitled “Into the Woods.” I’m a huge slavering fan of Jenn’s comics, so this is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Random sketches of Marcie. She and I have similar tattoos. Channing: As a virtual life-long gamer myself, I particularly appreciate Marcie preparing to perform a kickass roll on a twelve-sided. Unfortunately, despite having a lovely name (dodecahedron) and a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Dr. Lee sketches. Totally the funnest character to draw. Channing: Totally the funnest character to watch Shaenon have drawn, too.
Shaenon: A commission piece. Man, people love cobras. I’m going to put cobras in all my comics from now on. Channing: Well, they love your cobras, at least. Actual living cobras might generate a lower overall happiness quotient in the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
