Recent commissions... Poison Ivy for sale!

Now that I know everybody's received them, I thought I'd take a moment to share some commissioned sketches from the past month or two. Enjoy! :D

Alright, so here's the "for sale" thing: That last one, starring Poison Ivy, is up for sale at eBay. This marks my FIRST ATTEMPT at eBay selling! I don't really know what I'm doing here. All I know is, if you're interested in buying said Ivy piece, you can buy it here.

So if you've always wanted an Ivy piece by yours truly, here's your chance! (Overseas buyers, read all of the description; I can send it overseas, I'm just not used to eBay yet!)

Also, I'll be doing a Jessica Jones sketch and posting it up soon (she's comin' along, Jeff!). Later!

Wrong number.

There are a lot of things that happen to me that I find funny and everybody else finds totally insignificant. This is one of them. You've been warned.

(I'm in bold.)

*phone rings*

"Hello?"
*mumbling from an old woman*
"Uh, hello?"
"Yes, hello?"
"Who is this?"
"Who is THIS?"
*laughing* "I think you got the wrong number, ma'am."
"OH. Heh! Well. I'm in Bakerton. Where are you?"
"Excuse me?"
"Bakerton. Where are you?"
"Uuh, West Virginia."
"Well, what part of West Virginia?"
"Shepherdstown?"
"Ah!"
"Where are YOU?"
"Bakerton."
"Never heard of it."
"Out on 340. The flea market!"
"OH, yeah! The flea market! I know where that is."
"Yeah."

*... pause*

"Yeah, I'm afraid I've got my vision all... my vision's gotten all messed up."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah. But, eh, it could be worse!"
"Yeah, you could have, uh... NO vision."
"Yeah! Heh. Well, okay then."
"Well good luck with that vision."
"Yeah, okay. Good-bye, Shepherdstown!"
"Good-bye, Bakerton!"

I love old people.

I repeat...

This is not an autobiographical comic. No condolences necessary.

And I promise she won't be tortured much longer. Promise.

Hazel loves you. Happy 2006!

Heh. According to my roommate, Bakerton has called us several times now. Apparently, her vision has not improved.

I really hope she calls me again!

In other news... NOW can you guys stop being mad at me?!! Hazel's got her groove back. I TOLD you it wouldn't last forever. I keep my promises. So gimme a break already!!

Big announcement regarding non-GWS stuff coming Monday. Stick around, y'all!

Announcement, announcement!

Alright, I promised you guys a big non-GWS announcement today. Well, it turns out I'm a week early, but like I said, I keep my promises. So here:

This announcement (drum roll!) is that as of next Monday I'll be doing comic strips for The Weekly World News.

Yes, that's THE Weekly World News. The tabloid next to The Enquirer. The intelligent satire that rivals The Onion. The tabloid that Mike Meyers' mom follows religiously in "So I Married an Axe Murderer." The one you try not to look at (but always do) when you're in line to pay for your groceries. That one.

I'm taking over a comic strip called "Bat Boy," originally created by comics veteran Peter Bagge. Yes, that's THE Peter Bagge. He's been incredibly encouraging toward me and has very gracefully passed the torch, so I'm pretty psyched to start!

At first I didn't want to bring it up until next week, when the information is more formally released, but I figured, eh, I like having you loyal GWS readers find out first, anyway. So next week when the first strip is printed (Monday, January 16) and the interviews are available online, I'll just remind y'all and post some links.

So that was it! I'll have another announcement soon, but probably not until February. As for Bakerton, no one has seen nor heard of her since her first mysterious calls. But we continue to jump, both startled and hopeful, every time the phone rings...

Happy Cactus Dance!

This strip doesn't count as a cop-out because I really really really really wanted to do it. :)

Along with the Bat Boy news I posted yesterday, here's the Newsarama interview.

Enjoy, and feel free to leave comments!

Automatic Response

This is a test of the Emergency Danielle Needs A Secretary System.

If you e-mail me at either of my gmail accounts, you'll get an automated response. DON'T PANIC!! It's just letting you know that for the next ten days or so, I'm going to be going effing NUTS getting Crazy Papers wrapped up. Afterwards, I'll be taking a nice long soak in my parents' hot tub, drinking lots of wine (or whatever's left in the house after next week), and responding to as many e-mails as I can before I head off for a week-long vacation.

But until then, I won't be reachable unless you have an emergency. Seriously. If you call me and don't have something important (or downright hilarious) to say, I'll hang up.

That said, I still love all of you. *kiss* Talk to you in a week!
