If you’re wondering which shirt this woman is talking about, it’s this one. Also, this has happened 13 times in the last day.

At Connecticon

I’m at Connecticon all this weekend in the Online Media Guests area (OMG) with the rest of the Super Art Fight crew. Just come to Exhibit Hall B and look for this table:

Be sure to come by and say hi. High fives are free.

Also, we have two Super Art Fight shows this weekend. The first already happened and went well (I think) and the second is Saturday at 5pm in MAIN EVENTS. There will be a t-shirt cannon.

If you’re not at Connecticon, follow our Facebook page for The System, I’ll be posting any sketches I do there all day. I already did one of me as Super Mario 3’s cover. That’s right. I drew things.

The Kickstarter

It’s happening. In a big way! Unfortunately I didn’t get to finish the video before the con, but you’ll see it on the site in the next week. It’s my way of saying “Happy Five Year Anniversary, Systemics!” It’s also my way of saying “buy my book!”

This happened.

This happened. Don’t worry, it’s fixed now.

True story tag.

I Did A Thing For College Humor

I did a series of comics for College Humor that went up last week all about “Highlights Magazine: College Edition”. It’s got all the classic sections, “Check…and Double Check”, “Goofus and Galant”, “The Timbertoes”, “Hidden Pictures”, and even “Your Own Pictures”. Check it out by clicking here or the image below:

Some Advice for Graphic Designers

Also, wrote up a blog post last night, some advice for graphic designers based on Frank Chimero’s post that I happened to read. You can check out the original here and my own advice here.

Can you see the family resemblance?

Happy holidays, all!

It’s true. Most popular comics in the archive are:

• Being Angry on The Internet…
  (339,127 Pageviews)
• Being Mad in Traffic
  (251,204 Pageviews)
• Sharing Things on The Internet
  (289,963 Pageviews)
• I Played Super Mario Brothers Growing Up
  (114,971 Pageviews)
• People Can’t Drive
  (90,138 Pageviews)

Oh, and what’s that? A new poster? OKAY! It’s only $10 and is, as you can guess, AWESOME. For more jokery in the description, or to purchase, click THIS HERE.

It flew out of my mouth before I realized I’d said it. Sorry to the fan that came up and had this happen!

By the way, the chart in question is the Types of Typsos chart, seen here.

Otakon, which I haven’t had time to talk about what with CHART MADNESS on Wednesday, was LOADS of fun! Lots of you fans in the surrounding area came by and made me feel welcome, and I really cannot thank you enough for that whether you bought something or not. Of course if you bought something, all the better.

I mostly spent the weekend at my table, so I didn’t get a chance to chat with other artists that much or go to any panels, but I was on a “collaborating in comics” panel thanks to Dern, and was in the same row as most of the Super Art Fight crew all weekend. Best of all was the chance to chat with Caldwell, since he lives out of town and the chances we get to hang out are great. We got to talk about the chart that you all saw on Wednesday which, officially, was the biggest day of The System ever.

While I posted this in the last post and in it’s own, the new Professor Internet shirt is now available, and is in preorder through next week. You should check it out here.

Yes, Mom! Of COURSE I’m glad I helped you set up your email!

Which reminds me, I owe a call home…

True story, the DC Metro app I use to tell me when the next train is coming decided to update itself off of usage on my iPhone 3G. I posted about this on Twitter, and my clever friends began the app pun war. Thanks to Ananth, Caldwell, Hatton, Dern and Brandon for the chatter and ideas that inspired this comic.

Also for your enjoyment:

Which, is now going to be on a t-shirt and is now in preorder for $15! Preorders will run for a week. ORDER HERE »

This is another true story (minus the miniature deer).

Oh and by the way! I was on the latest episode of Digital Strips talking about webcomics, Super Art Fight, and mostly reviewing one of my favorite comics, Yellow Peril. Also, Kleefeld did a great mashup of one of my comics. Check it out here.

You ever revel in being weird? Where? When? My long history of being weird dates back to being a huge Gonzo (of the Muppets) fan. It was even the basis for my college essay, which I guess turned out well enough. It did get me into college and all.
