Soul Chaser Betty just finished its story run on Web Comics Nation.  To celebrate, the publisher is offering free shipping on all U.S. orders of the Betty Graphic Novel for a limted time! 

One of the challenges that keeps me drawing Pear Pear is the facial expressions. I intentionally don't thumbnail or sketch the cartoons out in pencil before inking. This is because if I do, the sketch often comes out better than the final product, which is the most frustrating thing in the world.

Unshelved's Blog has a link to some rare glimpses at Bill Watterson's early college paper comics, as well as some of his political cartoons, and various other stuff you probably haven't seen before. As he says, look now, because chances are it's not going to be up for long.

 

 

Well, actually it's not. Not yet. But, as amberlove keeps reminding us over at ComicSpace, it will be soon - on Sunday, to be precise (28 October).

Well, actually it's not. Not yet. But, as amberlove keeps reminding us over at ComicSpace, it will be soon - on Sunday, to be precise (28 October). You can learn more about it at the official Wonder Woman Day website.

In brief, however, it's being organised as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the US. Lots of original Wonder Woman themed art is up for auction with the proceeds going to help Domestic Violence shelters and Crisis Line - a cause I'm sure the warrior queen Boudicca would approve of!

In fact, I know she would. When asked to take time out from appearing in the online graphic novel Shades and to change her usual dowdy brown costume for the day, did she hesitate? She did not! See for yourself as BVC proudly presents Boo's own tribute to the Amazon princess!

I've left my costume until the last minute and'm now left with the option of modding my clothing to become Ronin, our Ninja-bot character. I'll also need to glue a Starbuck's Mocha-frap cup to my hand.

BTW, Strip 6 of Shuriken Diaries went up this morning. That was a link to it, btw. Click it. It wants to feel your touch.
