Webcomic Planet is starting the 2009 Webcomic Reader Choice Awards (or the WCRCA) and anyone can submit their nominations for favorite webcomic (in the right category, of course). This year Spud Comics is eligible for the New Comic category, as well as Art and Writing. There’s also an Author Congeniality category if you feel I’ve been especially nice to you. Anyway, I sure would appreciate your support if you were to go over there now and nominate me for something. You will need to sign up at Webcomic Planet. It’s free, so what do you have to lose? Thanks a million!
Now you can get your Spud Comics mixed with the news! Starting today, Spud Comics will appear in the S.E. Calgary News. Head on over there now and let them know you enjoy their newest feature! Of course you can still get your funny straight, right here, Monday through Saturday.
She's the one on the right, running last year's half-marathon.
I don’t know if you noticed but I took down my normal donate button at the top so that you can focus your giving energies on helping out my wife. She’s gonna run the full Memphis Marathon this December for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. As part of her run she has signed up to be a “hero”, which means she is asking for sponsorship which will go directly to helping the young patients stricken with life-threatening cancer. I’m sure you’ll agree this is a more important cause than some website with funny drawings. You can click here or on the photo to go to her donation page and give to your heart’s content. My wife, Liz and I appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts!
Yesterday I had the honor of being one of the first people to be interviewed on Tweeterview, a new website that uses Twitter to conduct in depth discussions. It’s really a great concept and easy to use. The interview was about single-panel webcomics and their challenges and benefits. Now you can get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on in my head when I draw these things, where I get my ideas and what superhero costume I would wear all day. The transcript is here. Enjoy!
Despite the title to this YouTube video, I believe this is the best chase scene I’ve ever seen.
I’ve had a Facebook Group set up for a while, but I didn’t really give it the attention it deserves. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was growing!
Please check it out and join if you’d like. You can share your own thoughts, videos, and pictures. There’s a discussion board and a wall for your posts. A lot more in depth than the regular comments that you post here (although I enjoy those immensely as well).
Thanks for your support! 
Due to popular demand I have updated the items in the Spud Comics Store! There are new shirts, mugs, stickers, magnets and even a framed print of Tastes Like Chicken. Plus I’ve lowered the prices on many of the shirts! Take a look!
Starting this Saturday, July 11th, I will begin a new weekend edition of Spud Comics. So now, instead of 5 days a week, you can get your funny on 6 days a week! It’s like getting an extra chicken nugget in your happy meal. And it’s still all FREE! How great is that?
Just found a great Add-on for all you Firefox users. It’s called Morning Coffee. What it does is you add all your morning routine websites (like a certain single-panel webcomic you read everyday) in to it, and when you launch Firefox you can set it to load all those sites within tabs. So, instead of typing in the same URL’s or clicking on your bookmarks over and over every day, you can click once and everything is laid out for you ready to go. Pretty neat, huh?
Here’s the full site name in case you want to copy & paste:
