Woohoo! Sign up for a recurring subscription today for extra Real Life each week! That's right - I've decided to just go ahead and do it, since it was suggested by a number of people. From now on (seriously, I don't plan on stopping this if it takes off) for a mere $5 per month subscription, you can get one extra Real Life Comic per week! This will initially be sent to you via e-mail on Saturdays, but will eventually ramp up to a whole login-type thing. Could be very cool. If you prefer, there is also a $15/month subscription available that will get you an additional printed booklet at the end of each month, containing the month's bonus comics, as well as one to two additional print-only comics, as well as a monthly sketch and some other newsletter-y type stuff. You'll get these things automatically as long as your subscription is active, so subscribe today and get in on the extra RL-goodness!
Subcription Option 1: $5/Month
With this option, you'll get an additional Real Life Comic sent to you every Saturday, until we set up an online verification system, at which point you'll be able to log in and see any bonus content at your leisure.
Subcription Option 2: $15/Month
With this option, you'll still get the online version of the comics, but you'll also recieve a printed booklet at the end of each month, containing the month's bonus strips, as well as an additional 1-2 print-only comics, as well as a monthly sketch from yours truly.
So, last night while Liz and I were out to dinner, we were discussing what to do about the anniversary party thing... and out of nowhere, Liz suggested Bowling.
OF COURSE! It's perfect - there's usually a pretty good amount of space to hang out, there's an activity anyone can participate in, and we can even have a tournament if we so desire!
So head on over to the e-vite and let me know if you'll be coming (mostly so I can give them a better count... I've already informed them we're planning this) and getcher butt out to Brentwood Bowl in South San Francisco this coming Sunday! The cover charge is only ten bucks, with $0.25 games and shoe rentals, so we can go hog wild with all the bowling we can muster. Don't miss it!
(A quick kudos on the guest strip, by the way... only one thing could be MORE base than doing a comic with MS Paint. Earl discovered what that was. He even sent me the .txt file!
SO. Next weekend is the 10-Year anniversary of Real Life's inception. And with the move, my mind has been so warped I haven't even had a spare moment to THINK about it. And if I'm gonna do something, I gotta do it fast... so I've put together a poll in the forums that has a few options, and I'll probably add more as I get suggestions, but I really just need feedback on how many people are interested in coming to something and where. So.... help! Go vote in the poll and let me know if you're interested in coming to something like this. Thanks! (Bedtime nao. No rest for the wicked, or the soon to move.)
I had no choice. I had to unleash the fury of the MS Paint on you guys today. Why? 'Cause apparently you guys didn't think I was serious when I said I wasn't gonna be drawing comics this week on account of packing up every last object I own. Noooo. You had to be complacent. Well look what your complacency has gotten you... JAGGIES. I certainly hope you're happy.
In Mr. McManus' defense, he DID make the comic focus on boobs, something I fully endorse, even if he did have to use the blackest of black programs to draw it. My hat is off to you, Sean.
But seriously people, for reals! Now is your chance to shine! To get your work out there and noticed! To make ENDLESS fun of me in my own strip without fear of recourse! And remember - drawing my characters in your own unique style is always awesome, and makes my day. (And, failing that, following Sean's lead and making the comic about boobs in some way, shape, or form will generally do the trick, too. :) )
