“Nobody makes fun of my ears!”
Holly fans, I did an art of her this weekend.
And, I don’t know. I bought some wicked awesome spiderman and venom finger puppets at the State Fair this weekend, but then I left them at my parents house. Just had to get them out to show everyone, didn’t I? Well, I guess I learned my lesson. Oh, and great. A fly just flew into my wine. Things maybe not boding the best for me. Enjoy the comic. Thanks for reading!
Couple New Arts
I put a couple new arts up in my gallery. I forget to point that out over here a lot, but they are there if you want to look at them. : )

“I want, I want, I want, me me me, mine mine mine, now, now, now!” (bonus points if you getthe reference!)
Naveed be straight up trippin, yo! She’s still not over this little thing.
YOU GUYS! I DUN GOOFED. I’ll fix it tonight and leave this message up so that people who read it in the future can wonder what was messed up before they got here. SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE SOONER, FUTURE READERS!
Sudden Downtime
The site went down yesterday evening for a couple hours. According to our host we were eating up too much of the server. Naturally, I am blaming all of you and your insatiable need to look at sexy cat-girls.
Anyway, I added someΒ zippy plugins to hopefully squash down our bandwidth. They told me they would keep an eye on our numbers and let me know if anything else was needed. (host gator is a really great host, y’all)
So, if you were reading the comic last night and the site suddenly evaporated, sorry about that. This has been the first issue since we switched to hostgator. I’m sure there’s many of you who remember the terror that was the iweb days. I’m glad we’ve put that behind us!
Onward, to victory. (And new episodes of Fringe tonight! Oh, Peter! Be mine!)

Things maybe are not going the best for our scrappy yet lovable pirates. Also, I doodled a little picture for you Zap x Reona shippers. Click it to go see it on my DA page, if that sort of thing interests you.
Zap! Halo Reach Nights!
Hey everyone! Halo Reach has launched and you know what that means! … you don’t? Oh, well its the return of Halo nights! We don’t have a solid day as to when to have them regularly at the moment so I’m open to suggestions. The first one, however, will be this Wednesday (the 15th) at about 8 pm (central US time).
Its been awhile since we’ve had one of these, but they are usually pretty fun. If you picked up Reach come on by for a bit and we’ll all play some. We can do some matchmaking or maybe some Firefight or even campaign. Come on by and find out. The more the merrier.
Also, if you see me on playing, feel free to invite me, or send me a message to your game. If I can’t join for some reason, I’ll let you know but I’m never annoyed by a request. For those who dont know (or forgot) my Xbox Live gamertag is “Zap in Space”
See you all online!

HOLY CRAP!
492 | A Moment of Doubt
Reona, don’t listen to what Efrem said! He is a jerk… maybe… And don’t think that Robot is trying to make Reona feel better because he has suddenly become a nice android. He just really hates it when she starts to cry. Robot does what Robot needs, got it?
In the story of my life news, I’ve been really sick! Like, really. I apparently decided to have one of those auto-immune diseases (I think I caught it from watching too much HOUSE).Β I haven’t been talking about it on the site because I wasn’t sure what was wrong really until a couple of weeks ago when I finally got in to see an endocrinologist and got a blood test and all that. Apparently my body thinks that my thyroid gland is the enemy, so it attacks it which causes me to die a little bit all the time. But I’m totally on medication now and the pills are cheap (which is also good because apparently my insurance would rather pay for my systemic organ failure treatments than the cheap little pills that prevent it) and I feel better than I have in a long ass time. Hopefully this means I’ll be able to get my comic buffer going again (yes, surprise, I lost ALL OF IT about four months ago and have been flying by the seat of my pants ever since) and we’ll just have to see what happens.
Thanks for reading, my little Zaplings!
491 | Who Was Where?
Oh my goodness exposition! What could Reona be thinking?
Also, fair warning, it is looking HIGHLY PROBABLE that Chris and I will be at Emerald City Comic Con, in Seattle, this coming March. Make plans to come see us there! If you bring me candy I will draw things for you. Because it’s the law.
Draw Better is Back
For those of you who weren’t following the Twitter feeds, Helpmedrawbetter.com has been up and running for a couple weeks now, so you should go an catch up!
But the biggest news is that you can now suggest drawings again. I know a few of you have been asking me when you could do that again, well that is now! Just head to the site and then to the suggest a drawing page… or click here.
Lastly, I’ve implemented a “buy a print” feature to helpmedrawbetter.com! I’m kinda new at this but I think it will be great. All you have to do is click the “buy a print” button above or underneath any drawing at helpmedrawbetter.com What you will get is a high res version of the print hand signed by me with an additional thank you note included. I think it will be cool way to get a commission of something and a way to help me draw better and help me pay some bills. Both equally important! Let me know if it works or not.
Lastly, thank you to everyone of you out there for being fans of Zap! AND for giving me such great drawing suggestions. You guys really are the best fans you could have!
