Hello Internet Friends

I would like to conduct a poll! Partially to see if i can successfully conduct a poll on the blog here without breaking anything, and mostly because I’d like to get an idea about the social media engagement of the folks that are reading this comic.

You’ve probably noticed that I’ve added little social networking buttons for the voting up of and/or retweeting of comics at the bottom of each page, because for about the last month now I’ve been seeing a lot of traffic from Stumbleupon and I’ve also enjoyed some tidy little traffic spikes from Tumblr, Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter. I’m a regular user of Reddit myself and I’m also a great big Twitter fiend and so I figure there’s probably something to be gained in getting to know my readers and connecting with you cats through these services where applicable.

And so I made a poll. I’d appreciate it if you took a moment to fill it out! I’ll probably eventually move this to the About page, if I ever get around making an About page.

Your Twitter username or profile link:

Your Stumbleupon username or profile link:

Your Reddit username or profile link:

Your Livejournal username or profile link:

Your Tumblr username or profile link:

Your FA username or profile link:

Are there other services or websites you're involved in that you think are relevant, like Facebook, Steam, Xbox Live, Plurk, Friendfeed, etcetera? What is your username on those services, if you don't mind sharing?

Firefox and Early Bird prints available!

Good news everybody! If you visit the store, you can now purchase prints of the Early Bird gets the Earworm and Firefox has Crashed comics, both of which have proven to be stupidly popular.

It’s worth pointing out that because of the weird format of the Early Bird strip, I’ve broken it up into two separate prints, with the last single panel being offered on its own. It’ll make sense once you go have a look.

I’m working on an arrangement with a distributor who will be handling order fulfillment for me pretty soon, but I wanted to make these prints available right away (because oh my gosh, so broke). If you order a print (or, heck, order two), you’ll be helping me out immensely.

The print quality is super nice, they’re handled by Monoceros Media, whom I’ve gone to many, many times in the past for prints and can vouch for how dang fancy these prints are.

And if there are any other comics in the archive you’d like to have a print made of, drop me a note and we’ll run one off for you. If there’s a lot of requests for any single specific page (like stuff from the Apex Predator series, which is also turning out to be pretty popular with readers), I’ll add it to the store.

Oh, oh, and and a very important edit: I’ll sign them if you want! There should be an option in the checkout process to leave a note for special instructions, if you want me to personalize your print in any way, be sure to say so!
