February 1, 2010: "Dancing Hot Dog"

Alrighty folks, I've skipped right past Christmas and on into the new year. There's tons of material I dropped into the fault, which I'll bring out later, but we're now in the same year and only a month behind. And being a month behind is pretty good for me. Friday, I'll have even more fun for you. Stay tuned!

December 3, 2009: "State of the Art"

I'll cut to the chase at this point and just tell you I got the internship. :)

December 2, 2009: "Strong Impression"

Why the bemused expression in the last panel? Perhaps I have fond memories of such events from years passed...

October 12, 2009: "Because She Was Lonely"

October 2, 2009: "Neighbors"

September 18, 2009: "Cat Deposits"

I love puns.

September 13, 2009: "Trapped"

I must say, though, that when times are tough, I have an amazing support system. :)

September 12, 2009: "Boss Battle"

This comic took FOR-EVER, but it was fun to do. Thus, why I haven't posted anything in the past week. Oh, and I was also art directing a photo and video shoot for the theatre company I'm interning for, so that took a good deal of my attention. I'll post a link to it in about a week, once it's finished. And Valentine's Day was Sunday, which was like an awesome little mini-vacation.

Another comic coming up tomorrow!

September 5, 2009: "Promotion"

August 30, 2009: "The Chosen"

August 21, 2009: "Movin' On Up"

Tonight, the last season of Lost begins. I cannot adequately express how excited I am about this!

August 20, 2009: "Just Putting It Out There"

Fast Forward Challenge

So here's the deal, faithful masses: We've been spending far too long living in the past. There is no time like the present. It's time to march forcefully towards the 2010s! Change we can believe in. Etc etc. Even Lost has decided to give up their time-travel season and straighten things out, so it's time I did.

On March 19th, Dumbstruck will turn seven venerable years old. It will also mark the beginning of the end of the strip, as I long ago promised that, since the strip began with the Iraq War/Conflict, it will end with the winding down of the Iraq War/Conflict. Obama has promised to remove the majority of troops from the country later this year, so the strip will find it's natural, book-ended conclusion then. Here, then, is how the year will play out, for those of you keeping score at home:

By March 19th, I will be current with the strip. That's right-- six months will fly by in the span of the next six weeks! Most certainly this means a lot of good strips that I already have written and thumbnailed will be left on the cutting room floor as I draw and post only the best and most necessary strips. But fear not, because once the comic is over at the end of the year, I will begin releasing compilation books of each year, complete with all the strips that were left behind in the dust. I don't know how often these books will be released (every 4-6 months likely), but rest assured they will be attractive little numbers with full-color covers and creator and character commentary sprinkled throughout. You'll be able to have a nice little collection of my life's misadventures on your bookshelf with which to amaze your friends and impress your in-laws.

That's my nefarious plan, my darlings. I'll have some more fun and excitement for your eyeballs appearing on March 19th as well, but we'll let that stay a surprise for now. In the meantime, it'll be like fast-forwarding comics on your TiVo for the rest of the winter! Enjoy

August 11, 2009: "Captain Subtlety"

Yeah, so, note to self: that suave and subtle demeanor you think you can adopt-- not so suave and subtle.

August 10, 2009: "Matchmaker"

I'll hopefully have the continuation up tomorrow, Friday at the latest.

July 24, 2009: "Fetishist"

And that, folks, was July. Moving on...

July 22, 2009: "Barracuda"

The continuation of last week's comic. Enjoy.

July 22, 2009: "Another Summer Remake"

I've been sick this whole week, but feeling better now. This strip was originally part of a larger strip, but this bit seemed perfect to stand by itself. You'll get the rest of it Monday morning. Have a good weekend!

July 14, 2009: "Fool For Love"

July 13, 2009: "Ownership Society"

Man, this comic took me forever to finish. And yes, Chris is indeed a skyscraper of a man.
