First I want to thank everyone for their very kind and humbling words regarding the last week of strips. It’s so exciting to discover that after 11 years, I can still create something that surprises my readers. And I can’t tell you how exciting it is to still have new things to discover about my work, and these characters, after over a decade of working with them.
Many of you have asked if I would be willing to offer “The Incident” as a print, containing the entire story. I talked to my partners at Amplifier earlier in the week and they’ve already set things up for me. A beautiful, high-quality print of “The Incident” is available in thePvPstuff.com store. The print measures 11×17, is printed in full, vibrant color, is suitable for framing and mailed flat.
It also behooves me to bring to your attention that we’ve added some new laptop skins to the store. In fact we have a brand new SKINS section featuring laptop skins that you can apply, remove and reapply with ease for both the Mac and the PC. Two of these feature the amazing artwork of the official PvP intern (only known by the mysterious name CubeWatermelon). Take a look.
We’ve also added a new laptop skins for all you Brent-Sienna-like-mac-snobs who want the entire coffee shop to know you’ve got more important things to worry about than them. Available in both white and black to suit your macbook needs.

It’s been getting more and more difficult for the four members of Halfpixel to align our schedules so that we can record episodes of Webcomics Weekly on a regular basis. While we have a couple episodes in the can (which will go up this week), we’re all blessed with enough work right now that I doubt the WEEKLY part of our title will apply again for a while.
Same goes for the podcast Brad and I were toying with.
But the thing is I really want to do a regular podcast, and I find myself with 15-20 minutes here and there where I could fit in a recording, the problem is that it’s just me. So I started to brainstorm about a podcast I could do solo. And that brainstorming lead to The Secret Life of Cartoonists.
Here’s the elevator pitch: You get a drink or two in me and I can’t stop talking. Not only that, but I got a lot of stories. The Secret Life of cartoonists is a candid conversation overheard at a bar and secretly recorded for your entertainment. It is a podcast for adults.
I’ve submitted it to the iTunes podcast directory so that you can subscribe to it there, but in the meantime, just visit cartoonists.tumblr.com to check out our first episode. If you like it. I’ll make more.
