Every Saturday from 5PM Pacific Standard Time until “question mark” I’ll hook up my camera and mic and draw live and chat with viewers. So go ahead and bookmark hpkomic’s comic-factory and check it out this Saturday. I’ll be glad to talk about stuff with you guys as I doodle.

Special thanks to my Nightgig peeps for informing me of this Tooncasting thing. If you’re not listening to the Gigcast, you’re missing out. As a bonus, that same episode features an interview with our friend David Gallaher.

Oh yeah, and a bonus, some pencils to my next comic page.

1) Hello! Tell us who you are, and what you do.

First off a little press-release regarding a Zuda comic called “Action, Ohio”. From what I’ve seen, there’s a pretty cool retro-flair to it, so I am glad to post this. Before that (check for it after the cut) another bit of news about an online graphic novel.

G.L. Nelson wants you to visit his action/adventure comic, The Sergeant and Professor Skeary Winslow. It’s a full color graphic novel by G.L. Nelson is currently updated weekly but will soon be updated Mondays and Thursdays. Be sure to visit his hub-page for his other projects.

Turning 100 is Temple of a Thousand Tears by trevoramueller! trevoramueller wrote:

After the death of most of their party, the swordsman leads an attack on the Holy Order of Abraham and only to find that they have walked into a trap. Now, as Shiri battles the evil Cardinal Milikin to the death, the swordsman faces off against the man he’s been searching over 2 years to find: the man who killed his family!

First off, I need to mention that Night Owls has just begun a new story-arc featuring a familiar face (or lack thereof). Be sure to check it out.

Second, River City Mechanical is finally up!

Next, there’s been a discussion on the Webcomic Success Equation I started tinkering with. Anyway, the community over at The Wotch found it and started to discuss it.

Overall, it’s a mixed bag, the initial post was saying that the formula seemed pretty accurate, but dissenting opinions seemed to appear rather quickly soon after. I’ll go ahead and post some of the choice arguments here.

silvipera and floodgatemartyr have got a comic (Lil’ Hero Artists) which you can buy (at DriveThruComics) or free-download (at Wowio)! You can support their work by getting a copy (and Wowio’s free, why not?), because the more downloads they get the more likely their publisher is to release a print version!

I don’t normally announce cameos but since it’s me this time, why not! Remember a few newsposts ago I announced that Electronic Revolutions The Burnhams was reaching 100 pages? Well it’s there now, and the 100th page features loads of DD cameos… including me! I’m the monkey.

Hey, remember High Moon?

Tonight, at sundown, marks the end of ACT II in the werewolf western epic, HIGH MOON.

Here’s what other people are saying about the series:

“High Moon creator/writer David Gallaher must have about twenty brains going full tilt boogie, because there’s not a single false note in this tasty multi-genre combo platter which blends spaghetti westerns, hard-boiled detective fiction, werewolf B-flicks and Weird Menace pulps. You can almost taste the dust and smell the blood. Pass the popcorn, please.” - Kevin Burton Smith, THE THRILLING DETECTIVE WEB SITE

High Moon is what happens when you mix Doctor Strange and Doc Holiday.  With werewolves, gunslingers, and the sumptuous artwork of Steve Ellis, High Moon will change everything you thought you knew about the Old West.
- Molly Crabapple, DR. SKETCHY’S

“Mixing legend, mystery, and a touch of the wicked, Gallaher and Ellis prove how the west was weird.” - Drew Rausch, SULLENGREY

“High Moon looks to be one of the most promising comics to come out of the Zuda lineup to date. It’s highly original and combines a fast paced storyline with moody art that nails the head for this horror western.” - About.Com
