Unfortunately no new comic today, but I’ll see you guys at New York Comic Con this weekend! At least, I hope I will. Be sure to come by my table, even if just to say hi, and you’ll get something for free. Come by the table and say the secret word “kerning” and get a free pin or sticker just for showing up. More info on the NYCC website.

Say in the comments if you are going to be at the con, and what you’re looking forward to. My table? Another table? A panel? Share with the other Systemics!

For those curious, here’s me and Rossmom prepping all the shirts / prints last night to get ready. This was at 3:30am, I don’t know why she was awake. NOT PICTURED: Rossdad checking his email.

Greetings, People of the Internet

I’ll be at New York Comic Con in Artist Alley This Weekend

Remember, me! Shirts! Prints! Pins! Stickers! High-fives! Hawk! NYCC Artist Alley! SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND!

Our table is Artist Alley P-10, listed under “Ross Nover” or “Rosscott”. If you come by the table and say the magic word (“kerning”) you get a free sticker or pin while supplies last. Free things, just for coming by the table and remembering a word! Can’t beat that with a stick. Unless you have a stick. In which case I guess you could.

Some notes on the comic:

So I did actually find a list of common types of typos. I have no idea how official this list is, but it looked official enough. I had no idea there were so many formal ways of doing things wrong.

UPDATE: If you like this one, this is not the first comic about typos. Check out these two “Great Moments in Typo History”. (1) (2)

Also, thanks to Systemics Marty “Fn” Day and Rachel “Design Valkyrie” Mooney for chatting online and sharing their typo-related thoughts. Also for being bad typists, it helped.

ANOTHER UPDATE: No new comic for Friday, I’m pretty busy with New York Comic Con prep. See you at the con, and see the rest of you Monday!

See you in NYC!

I’m going to be at NYCC this weekend in New York City, sharing a table with Hawk of Applegeeks! Come find me in Artist Alley, I’ll have a table and everything. WILL I SEE YOU THERE? The correct answer is “yes and I’m going to give you money.”

I’ll have some new prints, comic prints, and shirts galore from my online store, HilariAwesome.com.

I’m on ZDNet

I’ve been working with Systemic SkawtNYC to reformat and create comics to go along with his blog posts over at ZDNet’s Tech Broiler. Today is one of those days where I did that. Be sure to check out his extremely detailed and well thought out posts for more of my comics. LINK »

Inspired by this lovely smartass:

Not shown in the picture? There’s plenty of bike parking right around the corner. And with a Jamis Coda Sport too! I have taken flak in the past for defending cyclists, which I do often because I am one of them. But the truth is cyclists are like all groups of people (motorists, fanfic writers, comic artists, babies) in that some of them are assholes. Which, btw, reminds me I wanted to share this.

Btw before anyone asks, the photo is taken outside my place of business, the campus arts center. Hence the weird purple hut in the background.

If you have any great stories about bad parking (bikes or otherwise) share them in the comments! Seen anyone park like a real asshole? Got photos? SHARE!

Hope you’re all having a great Friday, and I’ll see you with a new comic on Monday.

Seriously, how sick are you of #FutureWorldProblems right now? Not at all? GOOD. I figured we’d wrap up this week-and-a-half of guest comics with one more comic on topic from me, just to ease us back into our normal insanity. Thanks to Dern from Hello With Cheese, who was with me driving back from NJ when I wrote this, and contributed to it in the kind of back-and-forth writing I don’t normally get to do with other artists as much as I’d like.

Thanks again to everyone who submitted comics for #FutureWorldProblems! I still have a few that I know I haven’t posted, we’ll get to those soon. In the meantime, hope you enjoyed this comic and I’ll see you all on Friday.

Thanks to:

• Bill “All New Issues” Ellis
• Michael “Orneryboy” Lalonde
• Ami “Glass Urchin” B
• H Caldwell “Loldwell” Tanner
• Jamie “In His Likeness” Hatton
• Justin from “Left-Handed Toons”
• and Chris “Sledgebunny” Impink
