Mat’s Rants

I’m taking what I’m going to call a book week this week. That is, no updates on the site because all my effort will be focused on making the book. I just finished pages up to 57, and now I have to start thinking about the next 30-ish.
Topic for discussion: Is there a boss battle [...]

Maybe I’ll think of a better name someday.
Basically, Kat came in and mentioned this thing GM is doing, offering their employee discount to their customers. She had a joke about it, I had a joke about it, and she thought it’d be fun for us each to do out own comic and pit them against [...]

As usual, I apologize for not updating as frequently as I would have liked. More on that another time.
I’m going to hazard a guess here. I’m going to bet that more people are interested in seeing the Star Wars Christmas special than were interested in seeing The Clone Wars. I heard absolutely no buzz about [...]

My apologies for only having one update last week. I could say that I wanted to give people the maximum time to answer my question, but the truth is that I lost track of what day it was. I literally went to bed Thursday night thinking, “I can do a comic tomorrow night, and it’ll [...]

When selecting a stupid shirt, make sure it doesn’t make the wrong statement about you.
Hey, I have a question. I think I know what kind of response I’ll get, but I’ll ask it anyway, because I’m really curious.
Other than a BDK book, what could I offer that you would pay $20 for? It doesn’t necessarily [...]

Sorry for the fillerish nature of this comic. You may consider it to have the alternate title “The cloud prince of crime.” The crime being grand theft first place.
My days off this week didn’t leave me much room to think about comics. Kat and I saw The Dark Knight on Wednesday, and then I had [...]

In fact, it’s probably to your credit if you don’t.
I listen to sports radio sometimes, I don’t really know why. It’s something to listen to at work, and in theory, I guess I’m trying to catch some hockey news, find out if maybe Mats Sundin will be a Canuck this season. One Mat is obviously [...]

Yeah. I had sorta gotten into the habit of updating on Sundays and Thursdays, and then tried to change it to Mondays and Thursdays. This week, it looks like Tuesday and Thursday. Don’t hate me.
Also, Audacity stopped working for me. And when I finally had a little podcasty thing I wanted to record, too. Boo…

Okay, so I’ve turned BDK into a videogame comic. Done a stupid ping-pong story. I guess now I have to abandon the comic and promote it.
Oh, wow, gosh! I’m so tired. I just got back from Popular Genre-Specific Convention (PopGenSpeCon). I met lots of famous people there. The guy who played The Shoveller in Mystery [...]

As you can see, I’ve moved to Step 2 of my plan to take over the Internet. Now that BDK is a videogame comic, I can start doing stories about what’s really important: ping-pong.
Look, I have nothing but respect for Penny Arcade. I think it’s probably the funniest comic on the planet, in print or [...]
