Oddly enough, I can’t express in words how fun it has been to pen Brain’s loquacious dialogue. And with his saving moves in today’s strip, it’s not unreasonable to imagine him as a kind of secret superhero. I dub him the Logophile, lover of words (mostly because I couldn’t find a better one), with a signal thusly:
Who knows where he may strike, what dastardly deeds he shall circumnavigate, what perilous perdition he shall vanquish with a lash of his tongue!
…Hey, a girl can dream.

Happy Towel Day! For those not in the know, it’s a celebration of the life and works of Douglas Adams, author of the unassailable Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series. Mr. Adams has been influencing me ever since I played H2G2 as an interactive fiction game when I was but a youth, before I read any of the books. There’s something so dry, so observant, so…British about his wonderful writings. He is and always will be missed.
As a tribute, I drew Daniel all dressed to the nines, towel in hand. (Click to enlarge.)
Don't panic!
In fine Adams tradition, I didn’t quite manage to get my drawing up in time, but hey, just pretend we’re all on the West Coast, mmkay? ;)
So over New Year’s weekend, I went down to good ol’ Huntsville, AL (home of the space museum I have managed to not see twice now) and hung out with members of the Team Fortress 2 community known as Control Point. Some of the higher-ups requested I do a comic for a newsletter that would print daily for the duration of the convention. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a mixup when my turn came on the final day, so I never saw my strip run and I presume no one else did either. That’s what the Internet is for: to give to the audience what is rightfully theirs! (And to not feel like I wasted an entire Saturday doing the thing.)

I was asked to do something Rock Band related, since there was going to be an RB2 competition, so what’s more RB2 than TF2 characters hamming it up? Makes me wish we’d had a keg at our own celebration.
