Tim gets back into his more artistic habits, after spending so long being abducted by the mysterious alien beings. However, Gopher yet again ponders Tim’s work, and brings in Chris for a second opinion.
The start of this joke began back in the strip “Size Matters” http://www.geeksthecomicstrip.com/2011/04/25/comics580b/.
So, from the responses I’ve got to my question about what sort of merchandise you’d like to see, apart from books, the call has been for prints of the strips.
So, now the question put forward is, would you prefer the strips unlettered or lettered?
The prints will obviously be either on nice white card stock or glossy, depending on your choice, in a 8.5×11 size, to be shipped, between two pieces of stiff card, in a nice document sized envelope.
Now, all I have to do, is sort out an e-cart, to take payment, and get a “Buy This Print” button up in the navigation bar.
Oh, and yes, I’m still trying to finish up Book 2, and I’ve started to colourise the black and white portion of the 2009 strips for Book 3. If anyone wants to submit fan artwork, to be included in the future releases, then let it be known you have my eternal gratitude.
T-Shirts will also be in the works, as I am checking out a few designs and slogans, making sure that none of it hasn’t been already done. But, this is still moot, as I have to find a decent printing place that is willing to start small and then build as demand grows. Let me know in the comments if any of you are interested in shirts.
This past twelve months have flown by so fast, I barely got a chance to know it.
Its been a ride, for me, consisting of many ups and downs, though I could have happily done without the downs. But, that’s life.
Much has gone on in the geek-centric world. The DC reboot and the hoopla surrounding the god-awful redesigned costumes of their female characters, Marvel unveil a new Spiderman (but only in the Ultmiate Universe) Neil Gaiman writing a Doctor Who episode (and boy what an awesome episode it was), filming started on The Hobbit (God, that trailer just really hits the spot), Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in Dark Knight Rises (and boy she looks good in it), the passing of both Nicolas Courtney and Elisabeth Sladen (if you’re Doctor Who fans, you should know who they are), the death of Steve Jobs, Captain America and Thor movies, a pretty uneventful San Diego Comic-Con, Gareb Shamus quitting WizardWorld after almost all but killing the company. The list is quite extensive.
As for this humble comic strip, well, Chris now has eyes, Gopher’s real name is Michael (though it’s short for Michaelangelo) and his a twin brother named Leo (yes, there are Turtles jokes there), Tim continues to get abducted by aliens, Lee has a secret life, there was a trip to a mysterious town named Dual Hills (and a return is planned for 2012), Justin left for college and Chris finally makes peace with Santa Claus after a lightsaber fight.
Now, what will come in 2012… well, there could be podcasts and there will be a new book (which was meant for 2011, but couldn’t get it finished in time), new additional material running along-side the main strip (all going well) and more of the usual tom-foolery and hijinks that befit this comic.
I wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope 2012 will be a good year for all of us.
