I like to think the orphanage staff disabled the game system’s wireless capabilities. On-line gamer chatter is not a thing youngin’s need to hear. Slightly related! I got curious and looked up XBox Live clips on Youtube. I think this[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Cabbage Patch Commandos is a kid-friendly homage to Team Fortress 2. Instead of bullets and blowing up, you have carrot juice and fainting, and the pyro's fire is more like cartoon fire, where you just go "BOMPH" and turn into a burnt matchstick with blinking eyes.
It’s been awhile since we saw the Activity Center. I tried to make it look more lively than it’s last appearance. Color helps! I am going out of town for a bit starting this Wednesday. But never fear! I have[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
My brother and I use to solve a lot of intellectual and philosophical disputes (also who got Controller 1 when playing Sega) by roughhousing until someone quit or Mom grounded us.
Amanda has yet to make the Sparkly Eyes work on Lillian. – – – – – If you don’t already read Jade Griffin and Trevor Black’s webcomic Shards, today is a great day to start! I’ve been informed that Selkie[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I got the idea for Hamud while watching news footage of the revolution and riots in Egypt this past winter, following the regime change. I don't mean to suggest this as his in-story origin, but it is his real-world inspiration. If that makes sense. Lillian's qi pao was designed after a few google searches. I love asymmetrical clothing designs, and I wanted something different from the kimonos she wore as the last two outfits we saw.
I am happy to announce the return of the No-Longer-Quite-So-Secret Director Commentary! I think the Transcript widget will work better for allowing the extra comments without creating some of the frustrations the mouseovers were giving people. Just click anywhere in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I tried to pay attention to lighting and shading direction in this one, with two light sources (a hallway light and the window). I'm so used to shading everything on the "Audience Left" for some reason. XD The policeman is named Officer Martin. I decided to name him after a background/cameo character from Rent. XD I'll talk more about the little boy on the next update.
Based on their source inspirations, I have decided that Heather’s new mom and dad are named Barbara and Kenneth. Feel free to groan. XD I have a few news items, but first (so it doesn’t get pushed to the very[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Based on some items of reader feedback regarding the Secret Director Commentary alt-text not working properly on some browsers and mobile devices, I’ve decided to discontinue it for the time being. Any behind-the-scenes info I have on the comic will[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Todd’s face in panel 6 is close to the face I made the first time I saw my dog kill a possum. I call it the “Oh dear sweet lord, my baby just killed” face. Next week’s shorts should be[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The difference between “cattle” and “companion” is fascinating to me. And for those of you in America, happy Memorial Day. I have a cousin in the Army myself; my best goes out to ya Max. – – – – –[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
