It may be obvious what I’m doing here. I had an idea for a new Machine of Death card game, similar to some of the others we’ve created but requiring a more precise combat system. So just for the sake of testing, today I whipped up 15 pages of gameplay cards to print out and see how it goes. If it works, if it’s fun, I’ll continue to make tweaks to adjust the gameplay balance and then probably redesign the cards again so they match the existing MOD game cards. (There may be a way to make the new game backwards compatible with the old cards.)

Decided today that this level of fading on this old picture of my dad was unacceptable. Below is my attempt at correction.

Detail from Comic #780. It felt good, letting it free. It nested just fine inside, but it was heavy, and the prominences jabbed him when he walked, so he preferred to sit. It was heavy enough that he sat a lot, rather than carry it around all the time. When it sounded, it was loud and jarring and a little bit painful, but it was good too, like peeling off a scab, or cracking a difficult joint. Stretching too far — too far — and then release. The quarter was just a bonus.

Anonymous asked: What is/are your reason(s) for maintaining two separate stores? Also, I find it slightly difficult to maneuver to your on-site store; could you add a link to make it more easily accessible?

The reason is because TopatoCo is GREAT at handling things like T-shirts (so I don’t have to deal with them), but for personalized items like the Artist Edition books, or handmade items like the calendars, or labor-intensive things like allowing people to create their own custom greeting card packs…it’s way easier to just handle that stuff myself.

I normally try to keep it all under one roof for the sake of convenience, but this year I just couldn’t figure out how. For example I really like letting people choose their own greeting card packs, but assembling all those custom orders is not really something TopatoCo can do.

Also I do get pleasure from packing and fulfilling orders. I don’t want to do it all day every day, but it makes me feel like I’m actually earning my keep when I can busy myself with my hands instead of just staring at a computer screen all day.

Noted about the links as well. I’ll see where a link would make sense; in the meantime it’s just store.wondermark.com, which is hopefully easy to remember; or there’s also a link right on my TopatoCo page. A lot of the icons in the left column on the Wondermark blog will take you there too. But I will see what I can do about making it simpler!
