Black emptiness, black, black emptiness



Today's comic was brought to you by the bucket tool: friend of the cartoonist, enemy of the ink salesman.



Thanks to the generosity of viewers like you, PBS is able to provide quality original programming. And also, now I have photos of the I'm Capitalism t-shirts in action. Well, as active as shirts can get, anyhow.







I am glad that there are still folks out there buying these t-shirts since -- as some of you have already heard -- I am making the big finance-crushing trip down to San Diego this summer for Comic Con. I'm sharing a big corner booth with a bunch of the other guys from Dayfree Press. You'll hear more about this when we're a little closer to the summer, but me, I've got to be thinking about this stuff right now. You've gotta plan meticulously when you are an obsessive meticulous planner.



And speaking of obsessive... remember Thom May, the man responsible for this stellar Sam and Fuzzy guest strip? Well, Thom has dipped into the archives of his own comic, Pihakwa, and retooled the whole shebang. It's better than ever, and that's saying a lot. Truly, a feast for the eyes and brain. Go have a look!

Lust will only get us so far now



Are you ready? Are you ready for a storyline that will take everything you know about dating humour and turn it completely upside down? Are you ready to read some comics that is going to completely revolutionize relationship comics? In fact, not just relationship comics, but all comics... and quite possibly all forms of artistic communication as we know it? Ready? You aren't ready! And neither was I, so please enjoy this other storyline instead.



The Communism and Capitalism shirts are once again available in the shop, as are hoodies, babydolls and long-sleeved ts in the other three designs. Speaking of which, if anyone is looking for their five minutes of internet fame, I could really use some new sample photos of fans in their Sam and Fuzzy gear -- particularly in the I'm Capitalism design. If you are my man or woman, please email me with your amateur photography.

ERROR



Ben Folds has a new album coming out in April, but the first single is being distributed to radio stations as we speak. If you're curious, you can catch a pretty low quality preview of it over at The Suburbs, a pretty stellar Ben Folds fansite. I've also heard some live versions of a few of the songs that are on this album, and it looks like it is shaping up to be one of his best. Too bad it's still over two months away!



Today's strip is comic number 404. ERROR. It's also the end of "Rest of Your Life." I hope you all enjoyed it and it's various profound, life-altering properties. Next week, we move on to a new story, a pair of familiar ideological t-shirts, and HOT HARDCORE XXX ACTION.



One of those three may or may not be untrue. Jack Bauer has the answer. TELL US WHERE THE BOMB IS!
