Doug at VanCAF

Fri, 24 May 2013 01:33 GMT

The Vancouver Comic Arts Festival (VanCAF) is this weekend and I'll be there! And I'm bringing a bunch of fun new stuff with me. I'll be debuting a little book of my favourite cat comics (shown above with a sleeping Watson), and I'm bringing new locally-made buttons (shown below) and t-shirts!

Admission is free and there will be events all day Saturday and Sunday, including a panel discussion that I'm hosting, called “Breaking Into Comics” on Sunday May 26 at noon. I am fortunate to have the following talented guests on the panel: Ed Brisson, Jason Turner, Jesse Davidge, and Lucy Bellwood. We'll be talking about how we all got started in this crazy comics business, and hopefully our stories will give you some ideas.

If you're in Vancouver, I hope you can make it to VanCAF – it looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!

I before E except after C and basically whenever you feel like it.

I think the problem here is that English is sutured together from so many languages that expecting consistency from it is like expecting Frankenstein's monster not to have a few behavioural quirks.

Give Twitter a (line) break

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:14 GMT

Thanks to a Twitter feature update, you can now include line breaks in your tweets. Judging by some of the reaction out there, t may mean a monetization opportunity – “Read your Twitter stream: Free. Read your Twitter stream minus line breaks and animated GIFs: $50/month.”

I for one like ‘em. (And animated GIFs, actually.) Sure, we're likely to see a lot of annoying uses. And let me be the first to predict that the phrase “Best. (Insert noun). EVER.” will soon become

Best.
(Insert noun).
EVER.

But in a medium that gives us the Emoji character set, I don't see this as the straw that line-breaks the camel's back.

Many happy carriage returns, people.

Previously on Noise to Signal: In a very special episode, Mayor Subramaniam finally asks Candace the question we've all been waiting for – but is it really Candace? Or has the long-predicted Multiplicity Convergence finally struck? That nagging doubt propels Adriana to strike prematurely against an old foe, winning her a new but unwelcome friend. As the Shadow Nations finally take notice, the dive team approaches the Misanthrope‘s wreckage in a desperate race against the Qaos Quartet. Time is the real rival, though, and nobody is expecting the answer Candace ultimately delivers… or the warhead it's scotch-taped to.

Google Reader: help is on its way

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:47 GMT

Instead of the sobbing rant that I feel like writing about Google Reader's impending demise, I'll leave it at this: it's the one service I use absolutely every day. More than Facebook, more than Twitter. A key part of how I engage with the open web has just given notice, and I'm not sure yet how I'll replace it – especially with something I can use across apps and platforms.

On the upside, I finally have a cartoon that looks like it might be part of the Previously on capsule summaries. (Please note the sidearm pictured fires Chuck-style tranq darts. If that.) My hope is that these two are actually Googlers themselves… and that turns out to be an officially sanctioned mission. It wouldn't be the first time.

Previously on Noise to Signal: The abrupt collapse of the Vector Proximity has enemies and friends alike scrambling. Misha's shaky alliance with his former Chrysanthemum Project teammates suddenly looks like the one stable link in the chain. So why is Vasily so pleased to see Akinyele get his hands on the third piece of the cipher key? Is it because he finally noticed Mayor Subramaniam's uncanny resemblance to Candace's half-clone son… or because he hasn't yet?

Final offer

Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:08 GMT

Previously on Noise to Signal: The source of that thumping inside the casket becomes clear – and it ain't Mayor Subramaniam's pet chinchilla, which commandeers the International Space Station on a heroic but doomed effort to thwart the Oncoming. At the last minute, the Anvil betrays Ivana for what he believes is the last remaining dose of the Blue Epsilon antiviral agent… but is in fact Vasily's spirit consciousness downloaded to nanobot form. Candace, seeing clearly at last, makes a desperate move for dispensation from the Crossroads Directorate to activate her H.A.V.O.C. protocol. The Directorate agrees, but at a price that could be fatal to the one she loves the most – and to Indira's shock, it isn't her.

Here's a little feature we added recently because we got a few requests for it: pressing left/right arrow keys should navigate the comics! That's no joke. We never joke. If it doesn't work for you, then we were joking.

Update: Apparently the arrow keys don't work on the home page, but once you're browsing comics it works. So heads up.
