My Chore Wars character
January 13, 2012

Yeesh... and that, my friends, was quite the sucky week spent in the hospital. I'm hoping that now that I'm no longer doing my very best at impersonating an oyster, I can finally get around to getting something accomplished around here. There's comics to be made, new cards to be designed, and apparently my shoutbox has to be replaced as they're no longer offering a free version. No worries though, we'll be getting right on that... and while I'm at it I'll probably be re-tweaking the front page so it'll look a little less like ass. Not too much mind you, we have our standards to maintain after all.

More to come in the near future! Thanks to you all for sticking around. Rest assured your loyalites will be rewarded :)

Ello everybody! Big apologies for some of these delays between updates to the comic. Not only have I been oddly busy, but I've been really been working out some of the background details in the storyplot to make sure it's all going the way it's supposed to be. We're getting down to some fairly large revealings of what's been going on throughout the comic and where it's going for the future, so we definitely don't want to screw it up. So thanks to everyone for sticking with us all this time, you're apreciated oh so very much.

Heya everybody! This weekend I am with Bill back in Chicago at Wizard World. We'll be taking pictures and VIDEO of the convention this year, which I'll see to getting uploaded as soon as possible. In the meantime, we're also going to be broasting over the WAGON Ustream channel in the evenings. So for all of you who've missed Bill's ranting posts of the past, drop on by the Ustream Channel and talk to the man himself. Also keep track of my twitter for announcements of when broadcasting starts.

After a lot of hard work and dedication from many, we proudly announce the launch of our WAGON v2.0 KickStarter campaign! Until August 15, we will be trying to raise the money needed to print our next and best cards: higher quality, improved design, and improved artwork.

By supporting WAGON Webcomic Battle you will not only be helping an ever-growing number of independant artists but you can get yourself some awesome swag as well, the least of which is a deck of our new cards when they are printed. So, my fellow WAGONeers, lets get this project funded!

Stat TrainingHeya everybody! After my weekend at Penguicon, I've decided that it's high-time I started working on getting myself in better shape. To that end, I'm planning to put to a little 'Stat Training' project together to track my progress and keep myself on track. So if you're into watching a fat guy putting himself through an ordeal on the internet, you've arrived at an opportune time... witness the struggle of a GameMaster who seeks to train himself to min/max his stats to achieve God Mode. Link to the page as soon as it's built!

Heya everybody! Sorry I've missed some updates this week... thing is, as I'm preparing for a number of panels and a WAGON tournament at Penguicon next week I've had a tight schedule. That wouldn't be a problem though, except that I've also got relatives that showed up this week for Easter/Brithdays as well, so there goes my free time. Anywho, here's a little classic George Carlin for you in honnor of today being Earth Day.

Heya everybody! A new initative had surfaced to get Adam West his own star on the hollywood walk of fame, and I certainly think it's an idea that's gone unfullfilled for far too long. Here's a little video that I was asked to be a part of telling you all about this endevor.

Sorry to say, but I'm going to have to take a short break from the comic for a week or so. Why, you ask? Well I'm in the middle of getting all my things together and moving to a new place. Why, you may still ask?? Because I got myself a spiffy new job and I've gotta move to a new state for it. So until I get moved and settled in the comic will sadly have to wait. No worries though! I'm planning to do a bit of something different to celebrate the holidays, so hopefully we'll get to kick that off soon, and then we'll get back to the regular comic in time for the new year.

In any case, I'll still be trying to share a few Random Geekness when I can, maybe some new videos and such for the news post. Perhaps a new contest is in order? We'll see!


November 22, 2010

Happy monday everybody! Yes indeed, the regular comics have begun updating again. We've also got a little something extra for you today in the form of a guest comic we did for our friend Adam Smithee of "The Apple of Discord". If you'd like, head on over and check it out.

Oh and if you'd like to see it, I've also made a small cameo in Apple Valley, which is Adam's other spin-off comic, along with a few other comic characters.

For your viewing pleasure I bring to you the introduction video for the "TGT Webcomics: What's Cooking?" kickstarter project. These guys have created a cookbook featuring over 50 webcomics (including Prepare to Die) and is looking for donations to help with the first printing. If you've got a few bucks to spare, please help these guys out!


November 08, 2010

Happy Monday everyone, and coincidentially Happy Birthday to me as well... in celebration of this joyous day, it seems that one our friends, miss Amuletts of another roleplaying webcomic calledEpic Fail, has just posted part one of a new interview she did with me about Prepare to Die among other things. If you'd like you can check it out right over here with part two to be up in another day or so from now.

In other news, I'm very happy to announce that after a massive amount of work the WAGON Webcomic Battle website has been re-opened to the public with a whole new look and layout. While we continue to work on starting up our new line of WAGON v2.0 cards, we're also looking to clean out our current inventory, so as of now all of our v1.0 Card Decks are 20% off! So if you've ever thought about getting involved with the cardgame and want to get ahold of some of the originals before they're gone forever, this is you're last chance to do it. If I were you I'd Head over there now and get some before they're gone. And after all, christmas is coming...

Oh... and I should probably mention that I'm going to be moving near the begining of December. While I plan to have plenty of comics in the queue for that time, I'm probably going to be missing for a short while as I get all that done along with setting up new a internet connection. Good gravy these are busy times!

Happy Halloween everyone! This is one of my favorite times of the year, not only for all the frights and fantasy of the season but because it marks only eight days until my birthday. To help you all get into a spooky mood for the day, I'd like to share a video with you... part of a playthough of a very awesome-looking horror game called Amnesia, being played through by the penultimate British Gamer known as TotalBiscuit. Now without further adieu, please enjoy this scene in which a Brit gets the piss scared out of him. Enjoy!


October 22, 2010

Hello everyone! I hope you're enjoying our little hand-drawn side story that's going on at the moment. Hopefully it's going to fill in a few details on some past events for everyone as we go into the future.

Meanwhile, I wanted to let you know that our friend Kez from warofwinds.com is making a run of cameo apperances in one of her comics called "What it Takes", and the most recent comic as of this blurb is actually featuring me. I really suggest you all go check out this comic if you haven't read it before because it rocks... I also will most likely be killed as well in a fairly graphic way, so I know some of you won't wanna miss that.


October 02, 2010

Heya everybody! This weekend I'll be attempting to do some most likely aweful hand drawings for this next mini-arc of the comic. It also happens to be 24 Hour Comic Day today, so I guess I'll see how many of them I can crank out. Feel free to drop in and participate in live chat.

Our friends over at the podcast TGT Webcomics have just started up their 2nd annual tournament for best episode of the year, and guess what? We're OUT of the running... but we're backing another horse, namely the comic "Sarah Zero". All you need to do to help us out is head on over to the voting page here and vote for "Stef / Sarah Zero" which is actually an episode of TGT Webcomics that I co-hosted. Oh and while you're at it you can vote in all the other brackets as well for your favorite matchups.

If Sarah Zero ends up winning this tournament, we'll be putting our heads together to make something extra special for the world to see. What will it be? No clue! We've gotta win first! XD

Heya people, I usually don't post things like this, but I was on a website just a moment ago writting out a comment on
this article about movies and I guess it got WAY too long... so instead of just sending it back into the ether whenst it came I figured that I should post it here.

There are far too many movies coming out that are unnessessary sequels trying to milk the franchise, remakes that are re-hashing old stories to milk the nostalgia factor of the originals, or movie adaptations of old TV shows/cartoons that just borrow the names to draw fans but ignore the subject matter entirely. This is all lazy, uninspired, greed-induced movie making passed down by corperate offices looking at statistics and profit margins instead of true movie-makers. Come up with something original or do the source material justice... I just get so sick of seeing movies that come out that only vaugely have anything to do with the inspired material.

The new "Karate Kid", why call it that if only to stir up nostalgia? You could have called it anything and it could have had appeal, and yet all he name does is alienate the fans of the original.

Transformers, GI Joe, or any other cartoon/videogame adaptation... holy hell why did you turn my youth into a bad joke?? They already HAD storyplots and they were good... use them!!

Sex and the City 2, okay fine the first movie was a conclusion to the series but why a sequel? Who's left to milk on that one?? Did the actresses really just want work THAT badly???

Shrek 4... compared to the first two, the third one sucked. This franchise is at least is an original concept, but the excitement is over please let it die with dignity. The same with Toy Story 3... maybe start a new movie in the same universe-setting, jump around a bit, but by golly how long can we care about these toys? No wonder Andy wants to get rid of them.

The point of all this? It's not just movies, but most of the entertainment industry seems to have been usurped by the corperate boardrooms. Movies, music, or television, it all seems to be headed up by suits with flowcharts and research departments trying to find the safe bets that may not be fantastically sucessfull but will at least make their budgets back. There are hardly any true boxoffice flops these days (they go right to DVD), but boxoffice smashes are few and far between as well. As special effects technology increases, focus on acting, plot, and character development seem to go out the window. The consensus seems to be that an action-packed visually impressive movie will occupy our ADD-induced brains well enough that they don't NEED to include substance... as long as the movie seems to be about something you know already, it's big and shiney, and it has a based statisically-accurate general audience appeal, it's a sure winner. Unfortunately it doesn't really work like that, but I guess it works well enough for them to keep doing it.


April 30, 2010

Wow what a sucky week... I'm still in the hospital at the moment, but my leg is slowly getting better and I hope that pretty soon I'll be able to go home to continue to recover there instead. That at least will give me acesss to my main computer again and so maybe I can FINALLY start making comics again. Man, I really want to finish off the current storyline and its very close to being done too.

For the moment, I'm going to give you guys a little classic Brentalfloss musical action that seems apropriate enough for the occasion.

"Prepare to Die" in association with Webcomic Planet has just started an Easter Egg Hunt! The Collective Members participating have hidden one or more Easter Egg Pictures within their Archives. They can be:
•Hidden in a comic blog post (blurb below a comic)
•Hidden within a comic strip itself
•Some webcomics have up to 3 eggs hidden within their archives, no more.
•The winner will be the one finding all (or at least most) eggs hidden throughout the participating websites.

If you'd like to participate and maybe win yourself some very spiffy prizes, head on over to The Webcomic Planet and check out all the offical rules and then head out into the eather to find some eggs. The contest runs from now until Easter Sunday on the 4th, so get to searching!
