A single-panel color comic by Madscott. A large, menacing green alien creature with horns, yellow fangs, glowing yellow eyes, and a purple collar/outfit dominates the left side of the frame, holding up a small tablet or device. Despite its fearsome appearance, it asks cheerfully: "Have you seen this Princess Bride movie?" To the right, a visibly nervous human in a red shirt breaks into a sweat — motion lines and sweat drops visible The Alien says "I love these people." Futuristic equipment is visible in the background, suggesting a sci-fi setting. The caption below reads: "And that's how first contact really happened."

That my loyal readers is what I think will really happen when Aliens visit us.

So I am trying out a new system starting this week. I am going to start drawing a comic on one morning and finish it on the next and then start on the next comic. Maybe that will mean a regular schedule. As a reminder we have a store now. You can find it at Back40Arts over on Etsy. If you’re looking for a custom card or drawing let me know.

We have a store!

I do in fact have a shop… now.. Okay it’s an Etsy shop but that should work out for the best. You can find it at Back40Arts over on Etsy. Please do stop and look around. It’s a bit sparse yet but more to come soon. We will be listing items from both myself and my family. Eventually we will have sketches, photos, crafts, quilts, and likely more for you.

So things are actually good.
  • I still want to upload the years of old strips. I’m torn between waiting until the comic easel bulk up-loader works and just doing a week at a time until I’ve caught up.
  • No comic this morning due to snowplowing. We got 12 inches of snow and I normally get up early to draw but instead I had to plow the driveway. Maybe tonight.
  • Holiday Geek Expo was a blast and profitable. I still have some prints for sale and I think I’m going to blow out my old sketch cards to freshen the set up.
