Pay no attention to the man behind the comic



Who is Rikk Estoban? This is the question that has been dominating my inbox ever since that bizarre guest strip ran over at Questionable Content. Well rest assured, we will all be finding out a bit more about Rikk... in exactly twelve days. Remember, patience is a virtue, good things come to those who wait, and other relevant cornball expressions.



Unfortunately, t-shirts are currently being mailed out a little slower than I would like. Sales on all three designs have really picked up since the Skull Panda shirts first arrived, which is awesome, but it also caught me a wee bit off guard. I'm having more shirts printed and increasing the size of my regular backstock as we speak, but in the meantime, I hope you all are willing to wait that extra week or two for your Sam and Fuzzy duds to arrive in the mail. Things will be moving faster again soon... thank you for being patient with me as my little shop makes the transition to a slightly bigger little shop.



Have you seen this Websnark deal? It's totally like a personal blog, only the author spends his time writing intelligent commentary about webcomics instead of complaining about how he is SO ALONE OH GOD. I particularly like the way he spends more time recommending good comics than he does slamming lousy ones -- it makes the site a pretty useful way to find out about new webcomics to read. Plus, there are some pretty thoughtful and well-written entries about "webcomic issues," like comic-ripping programs and so on. If someone was ever going to write a review of Sam and Fuzzy, this is totally the kind of guy I would hope would be doing the writing.



Unless, you know, he didn't like it.

Sexy news for all you Skull Panda heads! Today at Questionable Content there is a special guest strip featuring our beloved Panda, drawn by infamous underground cartoonist Rikk Estoban. Honestly, it seems kind of tasteless to me, but I still think some of you guys will probably enjoy it... if not for the witty social satire, then for all the murdering.



I'm writing today's rant from Claire's place today, to the sound of furiously digging gerbils. I swear to god, they just dig and dig and dig. They also enjoy sleeping, chewing on carboard, and long walks on the beach. Looking for soulmates, or just a good time. Interested single male gerbils of all ages welcome. Please, no hamsters.

Well folks, that's it for Fuzzy's reign of terror, and for the Contribution storyline. It's over! I'm sorry. Sometimes you just have to let go. It's time to move on. Move on like a horse. A horse named... Hidalgo.



The first of the Skull Panda shirts are arriving across the continent, and indeed, all around the globe! Everyone who ordered during the pre-order period should have theirs by the end of next week, and many have already recieved them. I got mine yesterday, and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! You can see them for yourself in this forum thread. More shirts are being mailed out every week for folks who ordered after the pre-order period. And for those who didn't order anything, well... Skull Panda Loves Kitties and two other designs are still available if you're interested.
