If you’re in the Philly area, come say hi at Wizard World Philly! I’m at booth 895 with Super Art Fight. We’re doing Super Art Fight as part of the convention, on Friday at 8:30pm @ Tavern on Broad and again on Sunday at 2pm in room 111.

Also I’ll be premiering a new t-shirt that some of you Jimmy the Murderdog fans will appreciate. It’ll be on the site next week…

Life. She is a mad bitch.

Thanks to Helen (who does awesome design) and Boum (Samantha? who does awesome comics) for the help translating this into french! Merci!

Btw if you like this one, be sure to check out the other existentialism and coffee posts using those big yellow buttons below.

UPDATE: Changed the name. I don’t want to be too close to the existential cat.

I was going for a kind of “Ouroboros of inboxes” vibe with that third panel. Pretty happy with it actually!

For those feeling like they can relate, check out this other comic I did about Sisyphus. Or, for that matter, this one on THE EMAIL PROCESS. What can I say, I have an Existentialist streak in me sometimes, though lately I’m thinking Stoicism is more my jazz. Funny since I don’t know how many Stoics would really go to a Coltrane show…

So in other news, I’m going out of town! For the next two weeks, I will be out of the country visiting the UK. While I’m not going to any sort of desolate lands (except Wales) you can expect little to no interaction from me in the meantime. That doesn’t mean the site won’t be updating, as some very kind people have provided guest comics via a last-minute plea on The Twitters. I hope you enjoy them, but if you do or don’t, you can expect more comics from Rosscott as well as the epic 500th comic upon my return on June 9th (though per our update schedule, June 10th).

And while this might not be clear, ALL HILARIAWESOME.COM ORDERS BETWEEN NOW AND JUNE 9th WILL NOT SHIP OR BE PROCESSED UNTIL MY RETURN. Feel free to order, but be aware that I can’t ship things while I’m gone, and this is, for the moment, a one-man operation.

Because even Sisyphus wants a little romance.

Thanks to Systemic Bridget for giving me the idea via our convo on Twitter the other day!
