Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve done anything here. As the post below explains, I’ve been posting a bit at my own blog. A while ago I was trying to upgrade this site and I totally broke it so I’ve been a little gun shy about doing anything- even logging in- for fear I’ll wreck it again. I spent many, many hours trying to fix the old site and eventually had to have Jim come bail me out. I’d like to try to install a new theme but haven’t had any success. So, in the meantime please feel free to check out the links to the side, and don’t forget some of our older comics are still available to read for free at Web Comics Nation. Hopefully we’ll be more doing more with this place in the near future.

Thanks for checking us out,

Joe

Well, here it is, spring, and despite the best efforts of the central banks of the developed world to throw dump trucks full of cash at rich bankers, the world economy continues to spin down to a halt like the flywheel on an enormous steam engine that’s fire has gone cold.

I’ve been spending all my time working on my exotic pet store Rainforest Station; Biff has been banned from the U.S. by the Department of Homeland Security, the only time I hear from him is after he’s spent a long night with his good buddy Jose Cuervo, I can’t figure out his byzantine filing system, and the bills are piling up.

We have a stack of scripts a foot thick, and no cash to pay artists to illustrate them.

Joe, through the double-edged sword of a slow economy has been affored more time to hone his artwork, which he’s posting on his blog. His most recent effort:
Red Flag Comics: Cosmic Dawn

So, at least somebody is getting something done.

We’re always on the lookout for up-and-coming artists whom are dumb enough … excuse me, I meant to say “motivated enough” … to take on a five to eight page script to be published on-line. Interested? drop me an email.

Here’s how things stand:
We are in the midst of a global economic meltdown, caused by irresponsible deregulation of the greediest industry on the face of the earth.

The Republican party, out of ideas, is now blaming policies that promoted home ownership for the middle class, rather than accepting that their lack of oversight led to the problem.
In a sorry attempt to redirect our attention (that would have gotten the worst magician booed of the stage) cute Sarah Palin is suggesting that a constitutional law scholar “pals around with terrorists” when her own husband is a member of a political group that believes Alaska should seceed from the U.S.

On the bright side, gasoline prices are starting to come down - because the economy has ground to a halt.

Our publisher is still missing.

And I’m trying to make a living selling poison dart frogs.

But, since you no doubt don’t have a cent to your name, we are offering our comics for free at web comics nation

Feel free to commiserate,
