Ughhh I ate so many oreos

This past Monday was Hourly Comics Day! These were Yuko's-- you might remember she did something like this back in October. This actually made our day seem pretty busy ... it sure didn't feel like it!

On Tuesday we went to a live taping of the Colbert Report thanks to Steve - he scored some tickets. It was a lot of fun! At one point Yuko and Colbert were the only ones who knew the lyrics to a song - he sang along with her and gave her a big thumbs up! Pretty sweet.

I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something but urgh so many oreos

Oh here's the original that was supposed to be up - I was bogged down with a lot of work:

Oh, and we got a cat! He is super sweet and adjusting nicely. More about him later, I think I gotta go not eat a bunch of oreos

Have a great weekend!

excruciatingly boring, but about average

TIME.com's Techland has a full preview of our MDHP short up!

Ohhh man we are so close to getting this cat! Yuko used our buddy L's method of rough cat-petting to give the cat a test run. We went to the shelter on Thursday and met a bunch of cats. One of them was super friendly, and I have a soft spot for black cats because they're often glossed over either because 1. people are superstitious or 2. because the shelter is full of them, they're seen as generic - a self-fulfilling prophecy. Anyway! This cat came in the day before with 5 other adults and 11 kittens - 17 cats total! They were dropped in front of the shelter by a mystery van. As such, she doesn't have a name, but her collar said "5108-E" and so that's what we're calling her (EDIT: Ack, for now! I was in such a rush, I didn't reread the post ... don't worry, she'll get a real name!). We'll post pictures some time!

A couple of things to talk about! First of all, you remember the end of November last year, when Yuko and I were scrambling to work on a project and our update schedule got a little slowed down? Here's a full preview of it at TIME.com's Techland blog - it's called Callie Eats Feathers.

It's 8 pages long and we hope you enjoy it! We slaved and sweated over it for 2 weeks. A higher res version will go up on Dark Horse's Myspace Presents site some time in February (later this week?!).

Second, this only really applies to folks who advertise with us, but Project Wonderful is doing geotagging, which means that the ad that appears is different depending on where you live (Regions are: America, Canada, Europe, everywhere else). You can bid on these slots separately now, and the Canada/Europe/Elsewhere ads are a steal.

There will be another original up in the store later tonight, but I can't get to it just yet. Sorry!

Alrighty, I gotta get back to work - you all have a great week! See you Thursday.

further cat adventures

DINOSAURS

Yuko's spider plant came back to her ... IN PIECES. Luckily she was able to repot all of them, but now we live in a greenhouse! It's kind of nice, Brooklyn is not terribly green around these parts.

Oh man oh man! NPR has an article up called, "THE FIRST HINTS OF A DINOSAUR'S TRUE COLORS", and it's about scientists finding evidence indicating the original coloration of dinosaurs. That's so exciting! The dinosaur in question apparently "had rings of orange-brown bristly feathers around its tail."

Actually, Yuko got so excited that the new original art piece is of the dino in question. Take a look:

Ahhhh so cool! Oh, and the eBay auction is up - all proceeds from this particular auction go to the Red Cross for Haiti.

I think we'll be starting a new bit of fiction starting next week - crossing my fingers! You all have a great weekend!
