All Aboard

Speaking of blue whales, here is an interesting article on how their voices have lowered over the years inexplicably, with some interesting possible explanations.

Hey there have been some more tumblr posts since the last time most of you were there.

A Proposal

I don’t understand how microwaves are safe. In-home radiation? Many times, I’ll open the door while the microwave is still cooking the hot pocket and it stops instantly, but aren’t there radiation “fumes” still in the air, or do they disappear instantly? Basically what I’m asking is will I gain super powers any time soon.

EDIT: Judging by the responses, it looks like I won’t get super powers any time soon. Anybody want to buy a closet full of capes and grappling hooks?

Job Drama

Cartoonists toil over the smallest details. In the original, I drew the guy in the “All Repo’ed Up” panel pointing lazily at the big guy. However, I felt even that added too much “sincerity” to the bad acting, so I erased it. See the original here. What do you think? I had them side-by-side for about twenty minutes trying to decide. I liked the arm- the way it looked- but I don’t think it helped the panel so I erased it. Sorry, fictional person who has only one arm now.

Hey, all the contest entries have been posted to the Lord Werriam Contest Page!

The Contest’s Honorable Mentions

Dan Long — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 05:50:03 +0000

Okay actually the part I hate about the contests is judging them, because even though picking winners is good, indirectly picking who *doesn’t* win at the same time is a struggle for me. I totally appreciate everybody’s enthusiasm and you’re all getting prizes in the mail, even if you weren’t in the top 3. Here are some honorable mentions, a couple of whom have webcomics of their own. See below, and the rest will be posted over the weekend!

Really Real

Yeah, those of you who read the previous comic early saw this in Edmund’s journal entry. Well, here it is in front of you!

Hey, here’s a real thanks to all the people who keep coming here, and those who support Edmund’s Quest by acquiring things from the Store (or donating) and helping to keep this little site running.

Guess who got stuff for free, though. The contest contestants! Honorable Mentions are below, and look out this weekend for when ALL entries will be posted!

Third Contest Winner: “Hit The Ground Running”

Dan Long — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 06:38:02 +0000

Awesome reader Thomas and his friends made this video, and I really like the idea. I uploaded it to Photobucket and it lost some quality, so I’ll try to figure out another way to make it clearer. But it’s still great! Watch it!

There will be honorable mentions on Friday, because three winners just wasn’t enough.

On The Set

Dan Long — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 05:01:00 +0000

The third contest winner is posted in the bloggy area, but there will be honorable mentions on Friday!

Second Contest Winner : Frank Hightower

Dan Long — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 07:34:14 +0000

Frank Hightower is a kind soul who decided to do a comic in my style, featuring Lord Werriam at a recruiting booth! I’ve decided there will be several honorable mentions next week, since one more contest winner after this (announced Tuesday) won’t do you kind submitters justice.
