Remember the book (or movies) “Of Mice and Men” where Lenny keeps killing things by petting them too hard? I just did that with Karl Kerschl’s site. Linking to Karl today has maxxed his bandwidth for the month, or overpushed his cpu clocks, or tripped his MySQL nacelles, or whatever, and now he’s without a working website.

This is a great opportunity for any PvP readers who either work at a webhost or have some pull at one to make Karl and offer for some bad ass hosting package that can scale up a bit. Clearly the guy has talent and is going places. He’s might be in need of some hosting love that’s a step above what $9.95 at dreamhost can provide.

If you can, twitter karl at @karlkerschl or email me and I’ll pass the word along.

Great news! We have DVDs. Blind Ferret has notified me that the DVDs of our animated shorts have arrived and pre-orders will be shipped on Monday. If you didn’t pre-order the DVD, be sure to head over now and pick one up.

The DVD contains all 12 shorts (which includes the PvP Christmas special), some special features and commentary tracks by myself and Kris Straub that you don’t want to miss.

The DVD retails for $19.95 and can be ordered right now!

Also, a lot of you were asking me if I could make a print available of the Kirby tribute strip that ran on April 10th. I think we suffer from the same problem as Penny-Arcade with our “buy a print” button. We need to bring more attention to the fact that any of our daily strips can be purchased as high-quality prints the day they hit the site. Just press that button next to the strip of the day and you can have it sent to your door.

I have added the Kirby strip to the store as a special item, so people don’t have to go digging for it. The print is in full color, 11×17 on beautiful card stock paper. They look great and are totally suitable for framing.
