Friday 5: Really Eight

Greetings favored Fold!

I’ve missed the Friday 5 post for two weeks in a row now due to the birth of my beautiful baby girl so I decided today to give you a few more comics that I found during that time off and some ones from this week as I caught up on my Google Reader.

I also want to thank the people that helped me to get this sweet new Bamboo Craft Tablet! I’m trying new things, and I hope you like it!

  1. Penned Pun Pain by Ronnie Filyaw
    I was turned onto Whomp! comic through our friends over at Up Up Down Down. (They recently interviewed him (among others) and I found it quite inspirational as a cartoonist. If you’re into process and learning how cartoonists think, I highly recommend his interview, and the others.) This comic is a great example of why I now have a strong infatuation with Ronnie and his comics.
  2. Let’s Be Friends by Zac Gorman
    It’s been a while since I’d linked to Zac’s amazing work, so I went all the way back to the beginning of his posts and found this gem. Reminds me of this comic from a while ago, except better.
  3. What do you lust after? by Alison Wight
    I’m a pretty big fan of Sent from the Moon. In fact, every time I visit her site, even her logo cracks me up. She had another one a while back about Sisyphus, but I couldn’t remember if I’d linked to it or not. In favor of the quickly approaching Halloween, I figured this one was perfect though!
  4. Problembot by KC Green
    I normally try to keep to the lesser known artists in these, but it’s high-time that my infatuation for KC Green’s works be known. This is a prime example of that.
  5. Howie Doogzer by J. Babb
    From one of my new favorite webcomics, this cracked me up quite a bit. Probably more than it should have for the subject matter…
  6. Bi-Y by Alison Wight
    Look, I told you I like her comic. This is one of her more random comics and I love it!
  7. Business Cards by Jayson Kretzer
    I had the privilege of meeting this dude at MegaCon in 2010. I’ve been reading his comic about kids who develop superpowers and do silly things ever since. He’s been running these one-off comics in between “seasons” of the storyline, and this one I found especially funny.
  8. Biking by Wes and Tony
    I can’t always promote this comic, but I’ll admit that I have laughed at every single one of them. There’s also a hidden comic if you can find the hidden question mark next to the comic.

And that’s it for this week’s Friday 5! But before I go, a reminder: this weekend there is FREE SHIPPING on ALL Underfold t-shirts if you use the code WITCHINGHOUR! BUY ALL THE THINGS!

And if you really want to be a sport, you could pick up a copy of The Underfold book for $9.99 from Amazon too!

Of Tablets and Occupy Womb Street

Greetings awaiting Fold!

Just wanted to keep everyone posted on the haps over here in The Underfold and real-ville.

First up, I ordered a new tablet last week and it should arrive sometime this week! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED AND SHARED! You guys are amazing, and I hope to bring you guys some extra funny things in the near future. There have been a bunch of good ideas germinating in my noggin that I hope to get out sometime soon!

Secondly, my baby is participating in Occupy Womb Street. It’s the 5th day of her silent protest of the labor union, and potentially something about health care costs. I’m not completely sure of her reasoning (it’s a silent protest after all), but we have some measures in place to quell her resistance coming up on Wednesday.

Thirdly, if none of that last paragraph made any sense to you or you don’t see the humor in it, a) you’re not reading the news, and b) our baby was due last Wednesday, but she’s still not here yet. We should be able to hold her by Thursday at the latest.

Fourthly, There shouldn’t be a delay in the comics. I’ve tried really hard (and have gotten help from some great cartoonists) to get a decent buffer going, and if all else fails, maybe some more people would be willing to send me some guest comics (hint, hint).

Overall, thank you for reading The Underfold; for helping; for caring; and for sharing. You guys remind me why I love making comics. Very encouraging.
