No, you haven’t gone crazy. Some mysterious god-force has cascaded across the archives of Dr. McNinja, changing the name of our comic’s very first villain… Donald McBonald.

I’d like to assure you that no, I haven’t received any pressure from any real world restaurants to make the change. The truth is that when I wrote the very first Dr. McNinja comic, it was homework for an art school summer class. There was no consideration about publication of the comic or legal ramifications. But that story is part of McNinja continuity, and if I’m going to make big boy comics, I should do the bare minimum amount of work it takes to create the difference between perfectly legal parody and trademark theft… before I get sued.

PS: Running GAGG this weekend! Upstate New York! Games! Ryan North!

I’ve been sitting on some pretty great fanart for a while, and today I remembered I should actually post it.

Lea made a Dr. McNinja doll! He comes alive at night and fights off monsters (probably). I can only assume, since that’s what the Squishable McNinjas do too.

Victoria carved up a NASAghast VS. Horrorsaurus pumpkin for Halloween! WHOAAAH!

Nik and Kelly decided to do up some oversized novelty mugs/urns as gifts for their friends!

Beth made Dr. McNINJABREAD cookies!

Thank you so much for sharing your craftwerk with us, guys!

February 3rd-5th Dinosaur Comics creator/Nerd Boss at the End of the Internet, Ryan North and I are going to be bro-ing it up at Running GAGG at SUNY Geneseo, just outside of Rochester, NY. Come see us! Saturday, Ryan will be giving a talk of some sort. The rest of the weekend, A KINGS RANSOM OF GAMES.

Besides the usual merchandise and books to sign, in honor of the gaming con, I’ll be illustrating custom D&D character sheets.

Hope to see you there! For other conventions I’m going to, check the “Appearances” column in the sidebar.

You might have noticed today that several of your favorite websites have been voluntarily censored to have you take note of the possible consequences of the “Stop Online Piracy Act” or the “Protect IP Act.” I basically didn’t have it together enough to participate in the blackout, but I’d like to make it clear that I am 100% against both of these. As an IP owner myself, I’m all for protecting creative work, but this legislation would be like burning down a building to get rid of its roaches. I’ve contacted my senators and plead my case, and I would ask you to do the same. Don’t change your twitter icon. Don’t like it on Facebook. The people answering the phones are very nice.

Of course if you have no idea what I’m talking about, you should probably find out before you go calling up the president like a raving vagrant that nobody believes is a time traveler.
