PvP reader Slinky The Drunk sent me a tweet about real life version of Brent and Cole’s comicstore/robbery story. It looks like Brent isn’t the only one who wields the power of Iron Thor!!

We’re having a lot of fun on twitter. It’s a great way for me to interact with you guys so please subscribe to my feed.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for making 2008 such a banner year for PvP. It was our 10th year online, my 8th year as a full time cartoonist. It was a true milestone for me, and you were a large part of that. Even though it’s been ten years, it feels like I’ve just gotten started.

So much happened in 2008, it’s difficult to properly recount it all. On top of that, I’m so excited about what’s waiting for me in 2009, it’s hard to stop looking forward and planning ahead. We’re already planning to move our family to a new state next year. A new home, new friends, a new chapter in our lives awaits.

However, if I force myself to scan my memory for the highlights of the previous year, my mind lands on the same recurring theme: the Halfpixel crew. The highlights of my year all involve Dave, Brad, Kris and our families meeting up in different cities for all new adventures and experiences. The Hotel piano bar in San Diego, the late night pub visit in Baltimore, the lecture in Savannah, In and Out Burger, The motorcycle gang, my pissy attitude about the humidity, waking up at 4am and worrying that Kris had gotten killed on the streets of Baltimore, the panels, the people coming up to our booth and giving us heartfelt thanking us for the book, and our weekly meet up online for our podcasts.

My wife, my family, my friends, my readers. I am a blessed man. I’ve been given more than I deserve.

Raise your glasses to the new year! Let’s hope we can make 2009 half as exciting.

Apple recently lifted a ban on crude iPhone apps which has allowed a deluge of applications that do nothing but allow you to make fart noises with your iphone.

PvP and its staff whole-heartedly support this movement. And according to this article, there is big money in fart apps.

Any developer out there that wishes to brand their $10,000 a day fart app with a certain blue troll, just drop me an email. I’m sure we can work something out.

I just got word from Gensen figures that all 500 Scratch Fury maquettes are packed and ready to ship. They will be sent ocean freight. I will be trying to get an estimate of when we’ll receive them from Gensen and I’ll let you know as soon as I hear something.

Once we have them in hand they will be shipped out to YOU immediately.

These took longer to make than expected, but they are WORTH the wait. They turned out fantastic and are truly a collector’s item. Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered. We’re desperately trying to get these to you. More info as I have it.

Someone suggested this last year but we had already run out of time. So this year I didn’t want to miss the opportunity.
