Ps238 #14, Nodwick #31, and I won an award!

Ps238 #14 should be in stores this week, if not the next, and it kicks off a multi-issue arc that ties up a few loose ends here and there. Lots of action is in this one, folks, so you won't want to miss it! In other comic news, Nodwick #31 is at press, and I'm knee-deep in ps238 #15. Needless to say, my holiday vacation is overwith (grin).

I'm playing around with a style "tweak" to my comic book art: straight black-and-white. I've been doing a lot of layout work for Frank Cho (including his upcoming art book entitled "Women," available from Image Comics) and he's a master of the ol' bi-level art. Scanned at 800dpi (as opposed to my usual 300), lines, text and everything else looks WAY cleaner and sharper. Pick up an issue of "Liberty Meadows" to see what kind of print quality can be achieved. I think I might give this a whirl in ps238 #15, adding more black ink to the page for higher contrast images. The tests I've done thus far look promising, and my wife has given it a thumbs up, so the great experiment shall be coming soon to your local comic store.

I was informed today that Full Frontal Nerdity was named "Webcomic of the Year" by the Blog'd Awards! I'd like to thank the nominating committee, the judging panel, and everyone who voted. And the caterer (the mushroom spinach puffs were divine). Seriously, I'm glad FFN is getting more and more attention every week. It's a pleasure to write and draw, and, if my sources are correct, it gets more hits a week than the namesake of this very site! I'm sure this will bring up cries of "where's my royalty check?" from my friends who unwittingly contribute to my pool of material, but them's the breaks. :)

As many know, I'm a big ol' Doctor Who fan. Imagine my delight when I discovered a web page devoted to free downloads of Doctor Who theme music remixes! Now if only I could get a "police box" iPod to play them on...

Linking? Sure...

- Dollhouses are for kids? Well, I think I know more grown-ups who'd want one of these. I'm sure Peter Jackson's kids have ones built by the LOTR FX department.
- You don't have to be familiar with the anime game, "Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney" to like this next one. Click here, click the links at the top to pick one of three lawyers, and type an 'objection.' Press the button at the bottom, and you get a new window with your masterpiece displayed. You can then copy the URL at the top and send them to your clients... that is, unless they object.
- A maddening "clear the board" game played by popping drops of green slime. Click spheres to pop them and inflate other droplets. It's sometimes deceptively easy, but...
- Another addictive game, Sheriff Tripeaks. Hi-lo solitare that involves a gun going off when you do well. Can life get any better?
