Hey folks. The first ever Digital Strips Livecast (hosted by talkshoe.com) will be going down on Wednesday, February 7th, at 9:00 PM. We will be discussing the wildly popular The Order of the Stick, by Rich Burlew.

The powers of CHRIS JONES and ZACH WEINER have been combined into one comic to rule them all: Captain Excelsior.

This week in Smithson:

23 Skidoo has left the area, Micki hopes. But are there others hiding and watching?

I thought I had a brilliant post all set to go, and then I realized that I only had a title, which is only brilliant because it shares a common word with the title of the last comic, suggesting continuation. The comic is part two of a three part series, so that's appropriate. You can safely assume that Part 3 will also share a common word.

February's Clatch will be held at What the Hell?! Con at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC.

Con date: February 9-11.

Webcomics Panel/NCWCCC is on Saturday, Feb 10th at 1:30 to 2:30 in King Hall, Room 123.

American Gothic Daily creator Gothia Sky has been interviewed and featured in the newsletter of AREN ( Alternative Religions Education Network). The article is available here.

Sky details her reasons for starting AGD, as well as where the comic is going over the next two years.
