Comic and Podcast Update

I’m handling a bit of a crisis right now and won’t be able to get to the comic until tomorrow some point in the very near future maybe never.

There are a handful of shirts that should already be in FB hands and are… off the grid. More than likely I am going to be eating a chunk of cash, cursing the USPS and going into disaster recovery mode to get these shirts out. I’m already getting unhappy emails from customers which is the worst thing that can happen. I’m suspending the comic (again) until this crisis is averted.

This kind of shit gives me ulcers.

Eli and Josh aren’t available for the Podcast this week, so I offer a worthy substitute in the form of the Open Mike, Insert Foot Podcast.

Mike Leuszler (MiketheArtGuy.com) conducted an interview with me (my first!) and it’s all uploaded in MP3 goodness. It’s all about the comic and The Experiment and such. It’s about an hour, so check it out and hopefully the HE Castcast will be back next week.

In summation: I have a shirt related migraine, comic will be up Saturday and No Podcast this week/ listen to the Interview I did.

UPDATE:

The shirt situation is handled. I could write a 3 or 4 page post about the frustrations the last few days have caused me, but I’m just going to chalk it up to “on the job training” and move on.

If you ordered a shirt in the month of September and haven’t received it, I’ve refunded your shipping. The shirts are in the mail and should be there any day. I

If you ordered a shirt in the month of October, you either already have it or will within a few days.

If you ordered a print at any point before today, they are signed and in the mail.

If you ORDER A SHIRT today you will get it much faster than in the past because they are being drop shipped directly from the printer. I lose a little profit this way, but it’s much faster and easier on every body.

The “Eh Team” shirt and Groverfield Shirt are in the store

“In 1972 a crack hockey team was sent to the penalty box by for high-sticking and decapitating a team mate with their skates. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security moose cave to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the Canadian government, they survive as maple syrup smugglers. If you have a pancake, if no one else can help, and if you can find the syrup, maybe you can hire the Eh Team.”

Near….. Far…..Yeah, let’s keep it at “far.” As far as possible would be great. (Groverfield shirt)

A couple of other changes in the store:

  • Signed Comic Prints are now $10 (down from $12.50). They look fantastic framed and are totally awesome and totally tie your room together.
  • I retired (for now) the “Magically Fabulous” and “Catonmyface” shirts since they have only sold in the single digits over the last several months. If you have one, it’s a collectors item!
  • Personal Avatars: I’ve been enjoying doing these (you can see a few here), but they are extremely time consuming and I was undercharging for the amount of work I put into them. For right now I’ve stopped accepting new avatar orders. If you’ve already paid for one, you will certainly get it. They may return in the future.

Fancy Bastard Evil League of Evil Submission Video

I’ve said it before, but HijiNKS Ensue Readers are the coolest motherfuckers this side of the internet.

I’d noticed some nefarious plans taking shape on this thread in the Fancy Bastard Forum, but it wasn’t until tonight that I realized plot had come to fruition and it was already too late for us all.

I present to you newest applicant to the Evil League of Evil, THE RECLUSE!

FB’s will recognize the Feisty Fiddling Recluse as Tindomiel from the forum and comments. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that everyone else in the video was a Fancy Bastard:

Corporal Punishment, founding member of the hero team Shine Junkies – Sean
Nude Knight, former member of Shine Junkies – Dramthevirgin
Kid Kosmic, former member of Shine Junkies – Eddie
Null, former employer of the Recluse – Sean (again)
Oscar the dachshund – himself

Additional HE nods are peppered through out the video (a fallen hero named “Rainbow Grizzly” getting the “Godspeed, You Fancy Bastard” salute, the desktop on The Recluse’s PC and the Super Villain team name “The Shine Junkies” which is an anagram for… something)

So, please support your fellow Evil FB’s and watch the video, rate it, leave positive comments, link to it and send it to your friends. The winners, chosen by Bad Horse himself, will appear in the extras on the Doctor Horrible DVD.

Regarding Tindomiel‘s performance, I am THOROUGHLY impressed to say the least. She exhibits dangerous levels of musical baddassery which is my favorite kind of badassery. Plus a chance for anything HE related to appear on a Dr. Horrible DVD is super awesome bonus tits. Regardless of the outcome, I am very proud of you guys. We are all evil winners!
