Finally rejuvenated after delivering The Lookouts, Tiny Kitten Teeth heard Gabriel's croaking call for assistance - and rode in heavy. Of course, we are overjoyed. I've got a few more strips curing now, aging, becoming redolent, and if we still have a few left over when we reclaim our rightful place, I will post them all at once, in what will become known as the Great Feasting.
I'm alive. I don't know if I had the dreaded swine flu but whatever I had, it was brutal. It started as a flu and somewhere along the way morphed into a really bad head cold which I am still trying to recover from. After PAX everyone here at PA takes a little vacation together. Normally I would have spent the last week working on extra comics so you all wouldn't notice any interruption in service. The PAX Pox kept me from doing that though and so we've lined up a series of guest comics. Before I go I wanted to point you towards a few different things we've got going on.
My friend Jon over at Goats pitched in to help dig us out of the contagion, with a strip that leverages pop references and timely observations in a way that is a natural fit. We have many more, from Applegeeks, Tiny Kitten Teeth, and Kris Straub, and you're going to see them all, because now it is Guest Week all of a sudden.
We Just heard of our first test-confirmed swine flu case at the show. PLEASE if you feel symptoms (fever, etc) call your doctor.
I apologize for the late post; the shit I'm being made to contend with today is truly epic in scale.

I.
What is there to say? What can be said?
The Washington State Convention center has been monitoring traffic through the show, and they've determined that we're good for another thousand passes on both Saturday and Sunday. Would you like to come, still? Does this post shine a sunbeam on what was formerly your darkest hour? Here then, friend: Join us.
When we were asked to do a piece for Dragon Age, there was no deliberation involved.
You may see us this weekend with camera crews in tow; now you'll know why.
Things are bat shit crazy around here as you can imagine. I wanted to point you all towards a very fun comic project we did for Namco though. The second page of our Tekken 6 comic is live over at their site. It starts off with a Kangaroo punching a jet out of the sky and just gets crazier from there.
We had seven hundred of these things made - the package is sixty bucks, and represents a comprehensive audio/voice solution for portable systems. The fancy-dancy ones we have look very much like this:
I talked about the game a few weeks ago, after I'd been exposed to it by one of the developers at San Diego Comic-Con, but apparently it got caught up in some kind of certification purgatory and has only just now been released. Owners of the Palm Pre have been enjoying it already, no doubt making use of its handy keyboard entry system, but it's excellent no matter where you play it.
It had originally been our intention to deliver - in a wholly ironic context, of course - the kind of rich, braised meats that the faithful crave when considering the marriage of companies with holdings as vast as Disney and Marvel. As we were writing it, we felt that we were doing so with an uncharacteristic desire to please, coupled with the knowledge that Gabriel would execute such fantasies with a high degree of mechanical skill.
