Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that the 2008 Webcomic Holiday Postcard Fundraiser is now underway! And since Staccato is still on hiatus, I decided to do a Halolz themed postcard this year!
If you’ve never heard of the fundraiser before… it’s a project I started a few years ago where I get together with some other webcomic friends and we sell packs of holiday postcards and all the proceeds go to Penny Arcade’s Child’s Play charity! Pretty neat right?
So anyway if you have any loose cash laying around (after buying stuff from Ninja-Bot of course) be sure to pick up some cards and help a good cause!

Okay, I know Halloween is right around the corner… but I still wanted to do this contest just to kind of get it rolling!
So what is it all about? Halolz First Annual Haloween Pumpkin Carving Contest is, as it sounds, a jack-o-lantern carving contest! The theme? Anything video game related! Carve something awesome in a pumpkin that has something to do with video games and you can win! Entries will be judged on originality, creativity, and juiciness (not really).
How to enter:
Step 1: Make a rad video game themed jack-o-lantern
Step 2: Carve a small visible “H” somewhere on the pumpkin, or make a sign that says “Halolz.com” to show in the photo (this is to avoid cheating)
Step 3: Take a digital photo (lights on or off or both) and send it to haloween@halolz.com
Step 4: All elegible entries must be recieved by 5pm EST on Oct 31st
Prizes:
First Place
• (1) Ninja-Bot T-Shirt of Your Choice

I’ll start posting entries as they start coming in… and the official winners will be determined on Halloween night. If you have any questions just post them in the comments! Good luck!
[Update!] I’ve already gotten quite a few entries… and I don’t really want to single any out, so I’m going to post entries starting on Halloween day!

Huh, I guess this is what my shirt would like if it were made into a real game!
Thanks Expolderizer!

Before I forget to mention it, New York Anime Festival… this weekend… New York City. I’ll be there. WILL YOU?
Not only is this an excellent opportunity for you to make fun of me in person, but I’ll also have Wolf stickers and a new and improved version of the Halolz poster… neither of which are available online yet! Speaking of which I should probably get that stuff up for sale online so I can start paying for this expensive new private server I had to move the site to! >___<
Well anyway, stop by and say hello! I’ll be in the small press area (booth 103 and 105). Also stop by and wish my sister Sarah (a NYC local) a happy birthday because her birthday is that weekend and she’s going to be wasting her precious weekend helping me! In fact here are some photos she took of the convention last year! You tell me that doesn’t look like a fun convention!
Also: I have a Twitter account now… if any of you are in to that sort of thing! Microblogging is THE COOLEST!

Hey look! I’m announcing a convention I’ll be at mere minutes before I leave for it! What a surprise! That’s me, “No Notice” Handyside!
Anyway… I will be in Hartford, CT for ConnectiCon this weekend, representin’ the Halolz. In fact, Mike “Never Posts Because His Computer Exploded?” Moore will be there too! A rare opportunity to meet a rare poster! :P
The most exciting thing I should mention though, is I had some rad new Halolz stuff printed up for this convention (and Otakon the weekend following). I’ll leave some of it as a surprise for now… but one of them I HAVE to share… a new vinyl sticker!
God, so awesome. I think once these are available online I’m going to do a contest where you stick this somewhere funny and send in a photo and the best one gets a prize or something.
Personally I’m thinking of slapping one of these on my neighbors car when he parks in my parking space. D:
But annnnnyway… if you’re going to be around Hartford this weekend stop by and say hi!

So I wanted to do a quick plug for my friend Brian Wilson today… like me he’s getting back into the webbedcomax biz with his brand new strip Geist Panik. He’s got quite a few strips up so far, so (unlike me) there’s actually a lot to check out at the new site!
And not only does Brian have a new comic going on, but he has also made the first ever Halolz related t-shirt (based off one of his classic submissions)! Oh sure there are some “official” Halolz shirts in the works, but for now you may as well tide yourself over with this one! Or you know…. just buy one of mine!

Everyday people come to me saying, “Shawn, you’re pretty cool… is there some way I could give you a portion of my disposable income in exchange for awesome geeky t-shirts that will make me the envy of my uncultured neighborhood?” Well good news! Thanks to a twist of fate, I have a buttload of new shirt designs that are finally available for sale on the fabled “internets!”
These shirts, which were forged in the fiery depths of Blackrock Spire, provide the extreme stat boosts you need in today’s fast-paced leveling environment, while keeping the exterior of your body silky smooth to the touch. Couple all that with the wacky designs I’ve slapped on the front, and you’ve got a garment that simply CAN NOT BE BEAT.
Supplies are limited, so order now! My baby needs strained peas!
