Good News on Shipping

DaveKellett — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:42:36 -0700

A quick note for folks who bought or who are thinkin' about buying the new Pug book: Our shipping has caught up to demand. There were days when we were getting a few hundred orders a day, and it kinda swamped our not-Wal*Mart-sized staff. But! But! All orders are now out the door and winging their way around the world!

I can't thank you enough for the overwhelming response to this book. The first reports are coming in from folks who got their copy, and it's been great fun to read their excited e-mails.

Because your financial support directly keeps Sheldon going, here's good news you should know:

- If you ever have questions about your order, you can e-mail me directly, and I'll help solve it: dave@davekellett.com

- If your package was lost or damaged in any way, we'll replace it at no cost to you.

- In fact, if there's anything wrong with your order, let us know! We'll make it right, lickety-split... and usually will throw in something extra to make up for the trouble! That's how we roll. :)

And don't forget! Let me know what you think of your new Pug book! Excited e-mails are always nice!

1.) The Olympic Gold Medal, you know about

2.) Emmy for "CSI: Cleveland Nights": 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.

3.) Russian Bear Claw: 1 and 2

4.) Mexican Pilot's License: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13

5.) Cosmonaut's Mission Badge: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14

And as for the date with Betty White? Polite lizards don't kiss and tell.

Get Sheldon in your College Paper!

DaveKellett — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:04:50 -0700

Lots of colleges are heading back school in the next few weeks, so it's a good time to remind students 'n editors that they can get Sheldon in your college paper ...for free! Last year, we had schools all over the world sign up: From the UC system, to Texas, to Canada, to Trinity College, Dublin.

Want Sheldon in your college paper? Just read over the info page, then e-mail me to get started! You can be running Sheldon toons in tomorrow's edition!

(I'm serious: Tomorrow's edition. It really is that quick and easy.)

Imperial Fleet Week in San Francisco

DaveKellett — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:45:50 -0700

A buddy of mine sent this to me under the heading: "The end of video evidence," which I thought was pretty funny:

Czech, Please!

DaveKellett — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 02:10:29 -0700

Here at Sheldon, we rarely venture into the joyful but groan-filled Land of Puns, but I couldn't pass up "Czech, Please!"

But now that Flaco's won gold, I think we're about ready to wrap up this storyline. I hope you enjoyed it -- it's been one of the longer storylines we've had in a while

Digital Postage

DaveKellett — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 02:01:45 -0700

I don't normally mention stuff from our Webcomics Weekly podcast on Sheldon, since that podcast is geared to/for/about cartoonists... but this jumped out at me, so I thought I'd mention it to here:

This month, the digital-postage company Endicia is sponsoring that show, and they put together a pretty sweet starter kit for Webcomics Weekly listeners. I'll be honest: I wish this pack existed a 18 months ago when *I* started using Endicia. If you were thinking about trying Endicia for your office, it's a great starter.
