The real story that inspired today’s strip:

Back in college, the real Reggie got a bit fed up with my brother. We were all at a party having a good time, but Brian decided to bust Reggie’s balls a bit – he would try to distract Reggie from the game of darts he was playing by flicking chips of ice at him. Despite being blind, Reggie enjoyed playing and if you pointed him in the right direction and informed him of the general hight of the board, he was pretty accurate.

“Brian,” Reggie warned my brother, “flick one more ice chip at me, and I’m going to throw this dart at you.”

Brian scoffed. Reggie was blind, after all. Brian was across the room and a moving target. He felt pretty safe. So he sent one last ice chip flying for Reggie’s head. It lobbed one big arc into the air and landed in Reggie’s eye. I mean, square in the eye.

Reggie spun around, paused for a moment, staring out into nowhere. Brian let out a loud guffaw and Reggie immediately turned towards him and flicked the dart…which impaled itself snugly in Brian’s left bicep.

Nobody butsted Reggie’s balls much after that.


New Stuff
— November 20th, 2009

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.
