Taking A Break From The Blog

Hey peoples (all 2.3 of you),

Day job is successfully taking up most of my time, so I'm taking a hiatus for a week or two or through.  I'll be back at some point in June, most probably, with more Office Cats, stuff from work, The Line It Is Drawn, Kind Of OK Comics, and to finish off the WTF Frantic Friday Fracas rounds 6 and 7.  Have a great remainder of May.

Sweet Chriskmus!

From the Line It Is Drawn, week 131:

It’s the great comic book amalgamation of 2013! Pick any two comic book characters and our artists will combine them into an, you know, amalgamation! Just like when DC and Marvel did it in the 1990s (Superman and Captain America became Super Soldier, etc.)

Schooloftheages suggested: Popeye and Luke Cage

Knockin' On Heaven's Door

From the Line It Is Drawn, week 130:

In honor of the Playlist comic book anthology that Phil Sevy is working on (that you can help get made by funding it here), the idea is to name a comic character (or characters) and a song lyric that you’d like to see our artists interpret as a drawing featuring said character(s).
