Have you been reading Sam and Max?

Posted by admin on December 5th, 2006
Have you been reading Sam and Max? Neither was I until I spotted a post on Comixpedia that talked about it’s “interactive” format. I am completely sold on it. I’m not always interested in comics who innovate as much as I am comics that put out solid art day after day. This struck me as a obvious blend of Internet meets great art. The whole idea being is that as you mouse over each panel the word bubbles pop up. Each panel is a little surprise I guess. What I found to be the best part is that you get to see how beautiful each panel looks without the speech bubbles in it.
Sam and Max
I’m hoping more people have time to do this. I know it may be a ton of extra work for some and a big learning curve for others. The art whore in me loves this though so it has my vote.

To kick of the holiday season, I am sponsoring a special promotion in the store today. I’m calling it the Theater Hopper one-day $10 sale! The concept is really simple. Everything in the store is $10 for one day (plus shipping and handling)! Today! So that means both books are on sale for $10 as well as all of our baby doll tees and t-shirts.

PVP Animated – HOLY CRAP!

Posted by admin on November 27th, 2006

I’ve been on vacation and part of it has been avoiding the computer. Tonight though I saw a Comixpedia artical that linked to a Fleen write-up that mentioned a Blamination thingy. You can also go to PVP yourself and read the news. Ok jumping to the meat of the thing.



Oh and a tip of the hat to Scott Kurtz, Kris Straub (who also has a new site www.halfpixel.com) & Blindferret.com Nice job.

    Posted by admin on November 16th, 2006

    Not that you think we will get this done on time ever but we have a GOOD excuse today. JT was editing the show when an electrical storm decided to move into the house next door and throw a wild party. JT had to call the cops and there was shouting. Things were said and it turns out the electrical storm is married to a judges daughter. JT get hauled off in cuff for filing a false report….

    ok so maybe that all didn’t happen. The show will be a day late though because the storm was moving in.. the rest is all lies.

    I’m sorry

    Sheldon is Moving

    Posted by admin on November 4th, 2006

    From the frontpage of Blank Label Comics

    A little known secret of mine is that I really like the comic Sheldon. I don’t read it as often as I would like because I don’t like how comics.com treats my computer. I’m really just not a fan of comics.com honestly. The comics.com site feels like reading ebay ads. So when I read that on tuesday November 7th Sheldon was moving to www.sheldoncomics.com I did a little happy dance. Sheldon honestly on my top list of comics I would ad to my daily paper or daily news site if I was running one. Here is the news as Dave Kellett wrote it. Don’t forget you can read and comment on this news at Blank Labels site.

    Sheldon Is Moving!

    A heads-up for Sheldon readers…on Tuesday, Nov. 7th, I’ll be moving the strip to a new site at http://www.sheldoncomics.com.

    The new site will feature:
    – Free access to 5+ years of Sheldon strip archives
    – Larger-sized Sunday and daily comics
    – Faster loading times
    – Free daily delivery of Sheldon by e-mail
    – Free RSS feed
    – Free “Send This Strip to a Friend” feature
    – “Jump to a Random Strip” feature
    – No pop-up/pop-under ads
    – Daily blog
    – Direct links to the forum, store, and more
    – … basically, everything the strip didn’t have at comics.com

    But here’s my one request: please help get the word out about the new URL: http://www.sheldoncomics.com. The majority of Sheldon readers currently get the strip via “comics.com/comics/sheldon”, or via United Media’s e-mail delivery. And when the strip moves, these readers won’t have any way of know where the strip went to (I tried putting a notice in the strip…it got edited out).

    So it’s up to me to get the word out. And you, if you’re willing.

    Please, spread the news. And I’ll see you November 7th at the new site!

    With thanks,
    Dave Kellett

    Good Luck Dave!
