If there was some way to follow that with “everybody grab some scissors and start coiffing!” I would be much happier.

IGNORE THE FRIDAY STRIP PLEASE
Submitted by Shepherd on June 6, 2008 - 07:06
Some miscommunication has resulted in a kind of bad thing happening. I don’t want to take the strip down, because that might screw up the updater thingy, but… er… ignore that strip until this message is deleted. Sorry!
Awesome drawing fun! Plus: who puts fat spaghetti in their hat?

bomomo IS FUN. Firefox only, I think. I have spent my entire lunch break drawin’ stuff.
I’ve been coming into the office early to work my way through Foundation Flash for Designers with one of our ADs here, and picking away redoing exercises at lunch. The idea is he’s the graphics guy, [...]

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what it’s all about. Thousands of years of strife and peril. Wars. Philosophy. Endless nights spent gazing up at the stars and wondering “why”; boundless days examining the horizon and asking oneself “what next?”.
It all boils down to this:
Indiana Jones Adventure Spoons.
I’m not a [...]
What’s the hu-beef?

Regarding today’s Man-Man, I really do have some trouble understanding what the big deal is about movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the Matrix, and so on. If people are being replaced by exact copies that behave like them in every respect — or if their minds are free to live their normal lives [...]
The inevitable unfortunate name
Submitted by Shepherd on May 28, 2008 - 06:35
I’m sure I don’t need to explain the [CENSORED] in Man-Man these days, but within the fictional universes populated by millions (by now) of alien races, it seems like a sure thing that eventually one would be named something truly loathsome in English.
Oddly, it doesn’t seem to be something that anyone else has mined [...]
Shape-changers? Aliens? Whoozawhasis?

I’d say “you may be wondering what the heck this storyline is all about,” but that would assume you don’t wonder what the heck this comic is about with every storyline, and that’s not a leap I am confident making.
Older readers may think we are riffing on the classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers [...]
Arrrgh spelling!

I hate looking at the strip and realizing I misspelled a world like inseparable. “Separate” and “Necessary” are my two Achilles’ heels when it comes to English.
Geek Out in Montreal this Sunday!
Submitted by Shepherd on May 2, 2008 - 05:10
James and I have been invited to participate in this Sunday’s GeekOut! in Montreal (more details @ link). It’s full of all sorts of love n’ geeky goodness: James and I will be talking about Man-Man, and I’ll be talking about Dead Eyes Open, and I’ll also be running a Red Box D&D session for [...]
