Today's comic just might be based on personal experience. Also, butterfly knife trainers are possibly the most fun thing to fiddle with ever.

Ah, good to be back to work. Also good to see adults resolving conflicts in an adult fashion.

I TOLD you guys their party was doomed. Thanks Alina!

I am over the worst of my cold, this time off was good for both recovery and for getting the ball rolling on some long-term plans I had been putting off. Thanks for your patience. Regular comics resume tomorrow.

The less said about the bathtub explosives, the better.

TCAF is this weekend! I will be at the Topatoco table with a whole bunch of other webcartoonists! You should come say hi, it is a free show and really really good!

At this rate, in the next comic Faye will be teaching Sam how to make explosives in a bathtub.

Today, I had an idea. An idea for a video game. A video game about WEBCOMICS.

I passed this idea around to a number of my colleagues, and they were very interested! It then began to dawn on me that this was possibly something I could actually make happen.

But obviously I don't know anything about actually making video games, so I would have to talk to a developer about it. And while I'm sure there is nothing video game developers hate more than a Normal Person Who Thinks They Have A Great Idea For A Game, I am pretty sure this idea has legs, both in terms of potential audience and potential funding.

So if you make video games for a living, shoot me an email. I would love to discuss my ideas with a professional.

I believe this is the first time we have seen Dora actually at therapy! Therapy strips are really hard to write but they are also a great way to get inside your characters' heads.

If you know anything about indie rock, my new shirt is perfect for you. If you don't know anything about indie rock, it will make you LOOK like you do!

See you Monday.

Turns out it wasn't a butterfly flapping its wings, but a capybara fart.

I really hope Marigold brushed her teeth first, but knowing her...

I will be at C2E2 in Chicago this weekend! I will be at booth 693 with the lovely Danielle and the hairier but no less lovely Randy. It's been a couple years since I did a con in Chicago so I hope those of you in the area will come by and say hello!

I've been saving that gag for this entire storyline.

I figure one more week of strips and we'll be done with this space station arc, barring any unexpected developments. It's been a lot of fun and I'm glad people seem to like it! But I'm also looking forward to getting back to earth.

I am doing a Master's Tea at Yale next Thursday evening! It is a huge honor and I am really excited.

Finally, we have an amazing, AMAZING new t-shirt available for you to buy. It features some of the titans of indie rock and was illustrated by the amazing John Keogh. Check it out!

See you Monday.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

I got a whole bunch of tweets and emails today linking me to this blog post about a smartphone app that is ripping off a whole bunch of webcomics, including my own.

Here's the problem, in a nutshell: they are taking my comics, which I put up on the internet for free, and attempting to make their own money off of them by charging people for an app that is essentially a glorified RSS scraper. It's not stealing money directly out of my pocket, but it's still some form of theft, of that I'm sure. And of course it's being done without my permission.

This isn't the first time someone's written an app or coded a website that does this sort of thing, and it probably won't be the last. But I want to state here, for the record, that I think this sort of thing is awful and will never, ever grant permission for my work to be used in this way. So if you see an app or a website that is using QC strips in this manner, be assured that it is without my permission. And please let me know about them so I can contact the creators and have my work removed. I never would have heard of this if it weren't for you guys.

And a note to anyone considering doing this kind of thing themselves: it is stealing. It is not okay to take someone else's work and sell it without their permission. Don't do it. Everyone will hate you.

The main thing this has taught me is that I need some sort of official QC app for smartphones. I'll look into it.

I just got a crazy new tattoo on my HAND (because it is not like I was particularly employable BEFORE now) so it is a good thing I came up with a simple-to-draw comic because DANG my hand is sore!

If you want to see pictures etc., check my twitter.

See you tomorrow.
