Considering the today’s comic strip is about golf, this seems like a good time to mention the 2013 Child’s Play Invitational. This year We will be playing at Inglewood Golf Club in Kenmore Wa, rather than down in California.

I think that does it for "Emulator." In a year or so, when your tolerance for familial excursions of this type has perhaps regenerated, I'll let you know the types of shit my daughter gets up to. She has her mother's head for math, those inexplicable and sorcerous divinations. I've always resented numbers, and really, what's to like. As an accomplished (and arguably, professional) liar I vastly prefer words, whose precise meaning is almost always in superposition. I took debate, certainly; I can lie with numbers, too. Eventually though, eventually, numbers have a way of holding their shape.

A big part of making a living as a webcomic artist is the convention scene. Setting up and running a good merch booth is huge. In the latest episode of Strip Search we put the artists to the test.

A systemic sidebar.

How will the artists in the house respond to last week’s crazy switcheroo? Find out right now!

My suggestion to the creator was to expand the charter somewhat by adding the designation "dagger-ma'am," but I don't know if it penetrated the scalp. I like it, though! I guess I would. It's the sort of thing I would like.

I thought Gabriel the Younger's bit of worldbuilding was pretty cool, here. When we were running through the setting with him, I asked if there was any chance a squirrel might scrabble in while the Good Guys and Bad Guys were locked in their traditional array and take a seat. He laughed, but I put a stop to that quick. This is some profoundly serious B.

New Strip Search episode is up and it’s a controversial one.

I.

The latest episode of Strip Search is live and it’s another great one. I've seen some posts on the message board asking to see the artists making more art. Well here you go.

Gabriel's son, also a Gabriel, has taken on the task of creating his own roleplaying game. That seemed like something we should catalog, and we have begun to do so. It's currently six strips, and it looks to stay there. I have a lot to say about it.

I’m not the crazy Kickstarter that Tycho is. He kicks something new every day. I told him I just don’t have the patience to invest in something cool and then wait months or even a year for it to be real. In fact I’ve only ever kicked two things in my life. The first was 13th Age which I think is an incredibly cool new RPG setting. The second I just donated to this weekend. It’s a documentary called “that’s not funny”.

It is amazing how long and how energetically we can discuss the unknown. If I were feeling philosophical, and this almost never happens, I would wonder aloud about how fundamentally human that is. The raw energy we dump into the unshaped void. The strange fish that return with us, home.

The latest Strip Search episode is up and once again we get to see the artists doing what they do best, making art!

Because their shit tends not to work at launch, and because by the time it does work I'm typically enamored of some kind of free to play browser strategy nonsense, I stopped picking up most EA titles new. Gabriel won't be without golf titles though, his allegiance to the courses of his youth demands it, and he has rededicated himself to the sport. So.

When we did our Kickstarter last year we thought it would be funny to include a few joke backer rewards. One of them we decided to pull right from this Penny Arcade strip about Kickstarting things. The reward was that I would shout your name while chasing a duck. I want to reiterate that this was a JOKE and we did not think people would actually expect me to do it.
