News: Lar is late

sohmer@lfgcomic.com (Ryan Sohmer) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:02:32 -0500

Lar was out of town all week at the annual ISCA convention. Lar is very very very sorry that he is going to be late with Mondays LFG. Lar promises to do better in the future.

Current ETA for LFG is between 2am and 3am ET.

Lar has some candy and an energy drink of respectable parentage to get him through this. Lar is Ustreaming his progress (but not talking) to apologize to his readers.

News: Free Shipping in LFG Shop!

sohmer@lfgcomic.com (Ryan Sohmer) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:31:50 -0500

I will return early next week with a proper review of the Gathering Storm, which will take quite a bit of time to digest and write.

In the meantime however, I should probably inform you of a special sale we have running in the LFG shop for the next couple of days.

Should you be ordering from the US & Canada, there is FREE SHIPPING on anything in the store. For anyone outside the North American area, there is heavily discounted shipping.

Time to do a little early Christmas shopping, perhaps?

News: Cross Post: LICD Book 6

sohmer@lfgcomic.com (Ryan Sohmer) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:18:19 -0500

I don't do this often, but I believe this constitutes as a valid reason for a cross post from LICD.com:

As promised, Least I Could Do Volume 6: I Am Not A Credible Source is now available for pre-sale.

Just to recap, for those who havent been paying attention, Lar and I will be signing ONLY the first 1,000 books sold. Therefore, should you want your copy signed, I would advise picking the book up right about now-ish.

As is the usual, the book contains all the strips from our 6th year, along with commentary anecdotes and various nonsense thrown in there by Lar and myself. Our goal with these books has always been to make it entertaining for you, even though youve read the strips before.

The Books themselves will be shipping out on December 10th, arriving at your doors just before Christmas.

It should be noted that were also selling all 6 LICD books in a bundle for a reduced price. All books in the bundle will be signed.

Wed like to thank each and every one of you who orders the books, as they are a huge part of how were able to keep making comics for you, day after day, year after year. Thanks for the support, folks.

News: Think think think....

Art is always about communicating ideas. As a cartoonist, my primary choice of communication are the pictures I draw. As an illustrator, I love to take ideas from others and run with them and hopefully take them places the writer never dreamed of. I think that's one reason why I find blogging to be such an effort - it's a words medium. If I had time, I think I'd be better off drawing a comic strip to get these thoughts across, but then... that's a big 'if' and I'd rather spend my time doing other things with it.

One of those things is my Ustream. Tonight I get to slip back into my regular time slot of 8pm ET and I hope you'll be around to join me because I'm hoping for your feedback. I love being able to connect with everyone and thank you for being readers. Being the kind of personality I am, I'm also always looking for ways to improve the broadcast so it remains as fun and entertaining as possible as well. A couple of the ideas I've had I'll be running past people tonight and holding out for discussion. Things like devoting a 'regular' segment of time to doing celebrity caricature and creating wallpapers for LICD and LFG.

The other idea I would love input on is next week's broadcast. Why next week? Well because it's the night before Hallowe'en!! Now, I know a lot of you probably already have plans for a Friday night but bear with me. I think it's a great time to have a *theme* night on Ustream and I'm going to ask for suggestions on what I should be drawing. Should it be a 'how to'? Zombies? Monsters? Vampires? A Hallowe'en pin up of a ghoulish gal? Caricatures of Hallowe'en personalities? A couple different projects or one big one? Should I just keep my mouth shut and draw?

The best ways to let me know your thoughts are right here in this thread, messaging me on twitter (@lartist) or by joining the chatroom tonight during my Ustream. I hope to see you there

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/lartist-at-work - starting at 8pm and running till midnight.

Later!

Am I the only waiting in giddy anticipation for the 12th Book in the Wheel of time series, The Gathering Storm, by Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan?

If I am, dont tell me.
