What’s this? The noble Sandy might be falling for a gentleman? I wonder who it could be?

I don’t have much to say for today, except, Happy Labor Day! I’m so glad I’m NOT at work today! And, I happy that instead of using the time to get good and inebriated, I’m actually trying to build up a small buffer of strips. There was a time when I was a month ahead, but now I usually make strips the day before they go live (moving back in February killed the buffer). I don’t think I’ll get back up to a month, but maybe at least a week or so.

Something I like to do while I work on strips is listen to music or podcasts. Lately I’ve been experimenting with the iTunes radio feature. I found a station called “80’s New Wave” that plays some great stuff — except right when I started writing this post, they started a Cyndi Lauper cover of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Goin’ On?”

Crime.

Greetings all — it’s that time again — time for conventions! There’s only a few left for this year, and the first one you’ll want to put on your calendar is the Star Wars Fan Days Sci-Fi Expo. It’s October 25th and 26th over in Plano, Texas, which is just a little ways North of Dallas.

Of course, I’ll be appearing, and selling the usual wares, I’ll have Dorm Dorks books,  Sketches, and maybe some new stuff…. hmm… If you’re in the Dallas area, I’d love to meet you, so come by and say Hi — and if you’re a Star Wars fan, this is definitely the show for you. And if all that wasn’t incentive enough, there will be an appearance by Jewel Staite,whom you may know as Kaylee from Firefly.

See ya there!

It’s a particularly glorious Friday today, and in honor of this great short week, I give you: another POST-IT COMIC!!!

I gotta admit, this one got a little bit away from us, so by the end, we had to take some drastic measures, but I think it ended up being a funnier gag.

In case you’re not familiar with one of our traditions here at the Dorm, I sit next to a guy at work that’s pretty cool, and we like to pass some of the time by making comics together. One of us will draw a panel, the other will draw the next, and so on, alternating, until an entire collaborative, improvised comic is formed. It’s kindof like being in a band, except without the drugs and sex.

It all started with this fiasco when our system was down one day, then we made this other one. Enjoy, and Happy Friday!
