Update: It looks like someone just coined the word “cocktionary.” One would assume this is some sort of cock dictionary, or perhaps a dictionary of cocks.
Dallas Animefest is this Weekend! Come see me, Shortpacked and Two Lumps (plus a bunch of cat-girls and such) all Labor Day Weekend. We will be doing a Webcomic’s panel every day.
It’s Fri Sept 3rd – Mon Sept 6th, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency Dallas at Reunion Tower.
These words, among others, were added to the Oxford English Dictionary, which has abandoned a print edition in favor of an online only format, this year: chillax, bromance, vuvuzela, tweetup, de-friend, frenemy, staycation, steampunk and freemium. That’s right, you are one of the privileged few who were alive to witness the English Language actually BECOME The Internet. Congratulations to us all.
How long will it be until dictionaries are divided by “standard,” “rhyming” and “sexting” editions? I don’t care if the print edition of the OED is dead. As Josh points out in panel one (quoting Sir Egon Spangler), “Print is dead.” It’s more the idea that any dumbass thing we start saying on the interweb (a word that was also added to the OED this year) just magically enters the canon of the English language. Lame, English speaking world. Super lame.
COMMENTERS: Please invent a word or word-mashup and give it’s definition and at least one example of proper usage. The dumbest word will be officially added into my vocabulary.

THIS WEEKEND IS BALTIMORE COMIC CON!!!
I will be in the Artist Alley at table A164 with Fancy Bastard Alex (Mechamenchi) at my side. Here’s a FULL MAP OF THE SHOW and here’s a closer look at my table:

Baltimore FB meetup will be Saturday night August 28th around 6:30 & 7pm. We will meet up outside the convention center and go to an eating establishment within walking distance. 4 or 5 of you have already said you’d be coming, but the more the fancier.
Please comment below of you think you will be able to make it.
Follow me on TWITTER for updates on the Meetup as we get the plans finalized.
At the show I will have shirts, books, stickers, buttons, comic prints and a few select large (11″ x 17″) prints such as the “Snowflake” and “Under The Bridge” designs. I am only bringing 4 or 5 of each of those. I will also be doing sketch cards for donations.

If you enjoyed my brief flirtation with continuity (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Epilogue), you can now get a print of the entire adventure in the store for a limited time. They are 11″ x 14″ and super tasty.
BUY THE PRINT HERE!

July 1st – July 31st will be your LAST CHANCE to get a PERSONALIZED HE BOOK 1 ARTIST EDITION until the 2011 holiday season!!!
ORDER NOW or forever (or for like 6 months) hold on to your funds!
After July 31st you will be able to order the book through my Topatoco store in regular and (non-personalized, as in “pre drawn”) Artist Edition flavors. If you want something special in your HE book 1 you must act nowish.
CANDID MOMENT TIME: Paying the bills has been pretty difficult lately, so if you would like to see HE continue to… continue please consider making a donation or subscribing for a rolling monthly donation or picking up something from the HE Store.
I have several hundred of these books just waiting to be adopted by a good home. I’m not saying they are going to be euthanized because that implies their deaths would be painless and they are actually going to be murdered horribly if you don’t buy them.
The support of the Fancy Bastards is THE ONLY reason I am able to do HE as my full time job. I know this sounds like a desperate plee (because it is), but if and when that support dries up, so goes the comic.
Thanks!
