Ruth owned last week’s fanart, so can we get a little Dorothy in here? Yes we can, thanks to Starline! Go read her webcomic, Candi. It’s about a pink-haired girl who totally also goes to college.
Unshelved Book Club “Dumbing of Age” strip
by David M Willis on October 8, 2010 at 11:13 amBill Barnes is the creator of Unshelved, a webcomic about librarians. Don’t laugh, it’s true. A regular feature is the Unshelved Book Club, where characters talk about a book they’ve read. Sometimes Bill invites other webcomics to get into the act, and probably, what, a billion months ago he asked me to.
I originally planned to do something with Robin and Leslie from Shortpacked! about The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs, but then convention season happened and I became Worst Guest Comic Contributor Ever. But a few weeks ago Bill reminded me that he could totally end me, and I got back to it. Not because of any threats of bodily harm he may or may not have threatened, but because we’re really good friends and I didn’t want to let him down.
Between the original solicitation for a guest strip and the actual creation, I had a new webcomic. So enjoy.
Ruth, the Black Mamba, by Karen Rustad
by David M Willis on October 7, 2010 at 12:00 pmAccording to Karen Rustad, Ruth has risen from her Roomies!-crafted grave the old-fashioned way, by digging herself up out of her own coffin! And her wrists are all slashed! Oh, okay, I see, this is a Kill Bill reference, not a suggestion of Unfortunate Implications. Phew!
Frightening Spectre-Ruth by Yovnocrats
by David M Willis on October 6, 2010 at 12:00 pmI think we’ve discovered a favorite subject for Dumbing of Age fan art. Though, hey, look, it’s Mike! He’s novel! Thanks, Yovnocrats, for adding to our nightmare fuel.
