Sundays personified.

Note that there is in fact a pile tag on my site. In case you want to read more comics about piles.

SPX was this weekend.

It was amazing. I didn’t have a table and got to walk around a bit, which was super fun.

Also too busy to draw new piles. Those are the same ones from 605.

Also also, Lori, our lovely (and very busy!) site developer, assures me that the “previous” button on the homepage will be done soon! Can’t wait!

Similar to the previous #493 Places for Things.

UPDATE: The comic was missing a chair in the background in one frame. Now it’s not. I cleaned it up.

Somewhat related, The System’s Order of Magnitude and of course my Pile System.

Here it is, comic number 599, which means the next one is the big 600! Technically we are past 600, as there’s one I accidently screwed up the number and a few in the archive that don’t really have numbers or don’t fit into the number scheme. Still, exciting to see round numbers.

For those of you that came out to Connecticon this past weekend and said hello at the table OR came to Super Art Fight, thank you so much. It was great to see Rick, ParasitePaladin, Allison, Ray, and all the rest of you who came by to say hi or bought something. And to you newbies, hello. This is my website, hope you like.

To say Connecticon was a success would be an understatement. It was huge. I did the 2nd best sales I’ve ever done at a con and had $0 in costs for the trip, as they were all covered since I was a guest. Not to mention, lots of people came by and said they read the comic which always makes me feel better. No crazy lines or anything, but it’s a wonderful reminder that people actually read this thing I put time into and post on the Internet. The numbers in analytics and the comments I see are written by people who wonder why I didn’t update on Monday, who share it with friends and coworkers, etc. It’s an amazing human connection that I absolutely love, and rejuvenates me until the next show.

Now excuse me while I work on The System Book 1….

I put this together, then thought it made me sound like a hoarder. But really, I just think that piles are handy enough sometimes.
