Hi, All

Just a reminder, the first Digital Strips Livecast is tonight at 9PM Eastern. We'll be covering The Order of the Stick, so we want to hear what everyone thinks, instead of just wanting everyone to hear what we think.

What-the-Hell?! - a free convention/event!

WHERE: Guilford College, Greensboro, NC
WHEN: February 9AM-11AM
WHAT: Panels, Gaming, Anime, Geek Auction, Iron Chef, Fire Dancing, and more
WHO: Jennie Breeden (The Devil's Panties); Greg Carter (Abandon); Larry "mcckenzee" Holderfield (Sinister Bedfellows); and Christopher B. Wright (Ubersoft).

... in the kitchen, right? Well, okay, so I just said that to see how many female readers were paying attention. But, bizarrely enough, the kitchen is where you'll find Boo and her friends in Shades this week.

What's more, if you hurry on over to the latest instalment at Broken Voice Comics now, you might just be in time to join them for a cup of tea!

Oh, and I'm sure you don't need reminding but, if you're enoying Shades please do take a minute to nominate it in the Favourite Web-Based Comic category of this year's Eagle Awards. As a relatively new comic, we don't have the thousands of dedicated fans that some do and so, in our case, your vote really will make a difference. Thanks all!

Given that it is that special time of year when half the webcomics community's heart is aflutter with the prospect of winning the respect and accolades of their peers and the other half is telling the aforementioned to commit an act that the porn industry is working furiously to make possible, I thought I might toss in one reader's opinion.

A little indigestion you say?! Check out what Heart Attack Man has to say in the latest Crying Macho Man zinger:
