Easter!
Just wanted to take this moment to wish you all a pre-happy Easter. I may not be around a computer when it happens, so enjoy those eggs and candies and whatnots.
Japanese Last Airbender Trailer
So, if you’re as super excited as me about this movie (Listen, I tried really hard not to, but I just can’t help it) then this latest trailer from Japan will get you even more in a tizzy. I think its interesting the difference between the American trailer, and this one, which seems much more comfortable being asian, but still has a slightly western soundtrack behind it (though it’s not some faux-metal distortion pedal business as in the American version).
Anyway, ZUKO FOREVER! Enjoy.
Arr… be a shame…
Well it looks like Holly and co may have been a bit too late to rescue poppa. What will happen next?!11one
Anyway, for those of you not in the know, I’ve been updating Help Me Draw Better for the last few weeks, so if you missed them or if you made a suggestion to be drawn awhile ago, you might want to take a look to see if yours is up. I’ve been replying to the email and form suggestions when they come online, but there is quite a delay on the queue. I look at it as both a plus and minus. On one hand, your suggestion takes awhile to get online, but on the other hand, the number of suggestions makes sure that this little experiment of mine can keep going.
You guys are really great! Some of your suggestions are rediculously complicated and random and some are deceptively simple… some are pure fan service. I love all of them. I hope you Keep them coming! After I finally move it to a new website, I’ll be implementing the ability to order prints of the drawings and other merch. So be ready!

So it goes.
An Epic of Epic Epicness
The first Scott Pilgrim vs. The World trailer hit the web today and it has me so totally stoked I can barely concentrate. Even though I’m still not convinced that Michael Cera is right for the role of Scott Pilgrim (so far he’s played the same character in everything he’s been in, and that character happens to not be Scott Pilgrim), I can’t deny that they’ve nailed the visuals and that a lot of the rest of the casting is pretty great.
Any of you out there want to totally geek out about this with me?
OMG Explosion
YOU GUYS BROKE THE WEBSITE. GREAT JOB.
So, the long and short if it is we used up too much server resource on our other host and they suspended the account because we kept crashing the server.Β I was very miffed because they never sent any warnings saying that we were causing problems, so it was kind of not in my schedule to deal with this today.
If you can see this then you’re seeing the site on the new host. Moved everything over to a new host and here’s hoping this one doesn’t kick us out either. *crosses fingers*
I used to think being too popular for a box was like this glamours amazing thing. I would read webcomic creators tell of the woes of the crashing server and it all sounded so big and important. Turns out it’s not. It’s awful and frustrating.
So, here’s hoping!
Bleach Live Action Movie Optioned By Warner Bros.
THIS! This is news of an outrageous nature! How many of you out there are Bleach fans? I am, as you may have guessed from some crap I drew one time. Given the abominations that was the DBZ movie, do we have any faith in American studios to do a manga/anime series justice? I know Cowboy Bebop and Akira have both been tossed around in Hollywood, and I don’t have particularly warm sentiments towards either project.
But let’s try to make this fun! What horrible white-washed cast will they have to play the obviously Japanese Bleach characters? I’m feeling Zac Efron for Ichigo and Miley Cyrus for Orihime. Leave your opinions in the comments!
The Hallway
What is at the end of Holly’s hallway? I bet some of you have already guessed. Also, Pinky has a captain of her own? Shocking! Are you shocked? I was shocked.
Anyway, I’m digging this new wordpress setup for posting the comic stuff. I think I may go this way for helpmedrawbetter.com Speaking of which, I’m currently finishing up the text and stuff for this week’s suggestions over there, so check in later today for a whole new week of Draw Better submissions. I’ve gotten a much bigger response to this project than I thought I would get, and I love some of your suggestions, so keep em coming, yes?

Also, you know you want one:
Wow, Wow. Website Down!
We had a pretty nasty website outage yesterday. Giving the host the benefit of the doubt. Things DO happen, afterall. I upgraded our site24x7 account to ping the server every 30 minutes and test for outages. Hopefully everything runs smoothly from now on. If it doesn’t we’ll up and hop on over to a new host.
Anyway, sorry if the outage messed up your comic reading plans yesterday.
UPDATE: We’re continuing to have downtime. I guess I need to start looking for a new host. *grumbles* If you know of a good host, let me know in the comments!
