With deference for showing the final Halloween costumes for the year, we’ll skip our installment of “Drive” this week, and pick it up again next Saturday.

In the meantime, may your chocolate gorgings go well today: Happy Halloween, everyone!

The Flaco shirt is in the store today! Let the squee-ing begin!

After so, so, so many people askin’ for it, we can finally say we have a Flaco shirt! Check it out, it came out pretty awesome:

New shirt in the store today!

This one is #4 out of the 5 new ones I promised. I’m sure you remember this one… it’s actually Arthur’s idea from this strip:

Hey! You! The person who didn’t catch the reference to “Dinosaur Comics” in today’s strip! Boy howdy do I have a treat for you: A link to said comic, where you will laugh with great laughter and enjoy with great enjoyment.

And, by extension, chuckle with great chucklement. (Thankfully, I can not link to the manga Sheldon, as that does not exist in any plane of reality I’m aware of.)

Are you flummoxed by the English language? Scared that, even when you’re using it right, you’re probably also using it wrong? Well then do we have the shirt for you. Based on the heavily, heavily quoted punchline from this strip, the new “English Language” shirt just went up in the Sheldon shirt store!

…since we’re comin’ up on Halloween this weekend, allow me to link to my favorite Halloween strip from the archives. Oh, Stage One candy, how much have you already haunted me?!?

We haven’t done a decision tree in the strip in a while…in fact, I think the last one we did was back in 2007 for the Artist’s Decision Tree. But pumpkins, as a subject matter, warranted it.

Also: You will be happy to know that I got a pumpkin that does indeed look like that one photo of Nick Nolte.

Just a reminder: Here’s the link to past strips of “Drive”. These’ll have to do until we get a new site up ‘n runnin’ in the new year.

There are five new Sheldon shirts coming out in the next week or so (including an often-requested “Squee” shirt). BUT! I just got word that the first two shirts are already in the store…so I thought I’d show ’em to you!

Here’s the first one, based on Arthur’s famous remark in this strip:

And here’s the second one, based — again — on Arthur bein’ Arthur in this strip:

After a lot of deliberation, I believe I’ve settled on the final name and logo for the Saturday sci-fi strip: DRIVE.

As will become clear as the story progresses, it’s a particularly apt name, as the strip will be about the pinch drive, who drives it, and what drives them to drive it. You’ll see what I mean as time goes on. 🙂

Anyway, I’m really satisfied with the name, and with the minimalist/clean logo, so I hope you like it!
