Man, this run of guest strips is introducing me to a bunch of talented cartoonists I’ve never met yet. It’s exciting!

Today’s strip was masterfully drawn by Stephen McCranie, who publishes a webcomic Mon-Fri at Malandchad.com. Stephen describes it as a Calvin-and-Hobbes-esque strip that he started for his college paper. He just graduated last year and Mal and Chad is already being featured at gocomics.com with a graphic novel in the works at a legit publisher. Go Stephen!

I love how fluid and bouncy you drew the LOLbat and Retweet, and I’m a sucker for strips that take advantage of a lot of white space. So I was really struck by your guest strip.

I hope you guys are too! Thanks, Stephen.


— February 18th, 2012

I wanted to offer an olive branch for all the late updates the last couple of weeks.

My company is growing. It’s a good thing. And the trick is growing without growing too fast, or spreading too thin. With The Blams,Kris and Scott’s Scott and Kris Show, The Trenches, a new website, and an unannounced collaboration (not to mention upcoming con season and our Melbourne trip) it got easy for me to get behind. And operating without a buffer has been a bad practice.

So I’m working ahead, projects are on break or wrapping up, the site should debut soon (this months fingers crossed). I feel like I’m getting back on top of this expansion. Great problems to have.

To thanks for your patience during these growing pains, I made you a desktop wallpaper. It’s based on an upcoming poster I’ll be debuting at the Emerald CIty Comicon at the end of March. It’s been a while since we’ve done a cast poster. Hope you like it.
