Skewered seer. August 9, 2011 Posted by Mookie
I've had to exert a significant amount of willpower to resist putting a couple of pop culture references in this current storyline, namely a quote from Thundercats in regards to all the sword-scrying ("Sword of Omens! Give me sight beyond sight!") and a famous line from Airplane! in regards to Dominic's lack of clothing in his mental projection ("You ever seen a grown man naked?").

But that's not going to happen! At least I hope not. The temptation has been great.

That's all from me for now.
Rock on.
New email and the newspaper! August 8, 2011 Posted by Mookie
And we're back!

I hope everyone enjoyed Fan Art Week while I was gone! I received dozens of amazing submissions and choosing only five to showcase was as tough as ever. Thanks to all who sent me your work. You humble me with your continued love, support and talent. All submissions will be going up in the Fan Art pages later this week!

There is now a NEW EMAIL ADDRESS to reach me at! I wanted it to be "seemail" but, unsurprisingly, that wasn't available. So while this new address isn't the most clever of names, I still like it.

The Seer's Catalog will also be re-opening later this week.

Finally, I was interviewed for an article in the Boston Globe on webcomickers in the New England area! The article ran while I was on vacation last week so I'm a little late in getting the news out on this, but you can still read the whole story online. I'm mentioned alongside some fantastic creators, so check it out!

That's all from me for now.
Rock on.
FAN ART WEEK! August 1, 2011 Posted by Mookie
It's Fan Art Week!

Five pieces of fan art will be showcased this week in place of comics, since I'm on my annual summer vacation with Alyssa.

You guys made it difficult to choose only five pieces this year. I received dozens of excellent submissions and I found myself stressing over which ones to put on the front page.

Any and all submissions that were not chosen for Fan Art Week will be shown at the Fan Art pages, which will be updated next week!

I'm going to enjoy my vacation, and I hope you all enjoy Fan Art Week! See you when I get back!

Rock on.
The butler did it. July 29, 2011 Posted by Mookie
Szark's trash-talk somehow ends up sounding like he's talking dirty, though I suspect he's doing it on purpose.

Today is the last day to send in your submissions for Fan Art Week! I don't leave for my vacation till the weekend, so you have all day to submit artwork if you need it.

Today is also the last day of the impromptu summer no-shipping sale in the SEER'S CATALOG!

That's all from me for now.
Rock on, have a nice weekend, and enjoy next week's Fan Art Week!
Showing restraint. July 27, 2011 Posted by Mookie
It looks like Szark is going to have one of those rare moments where you get to do the right thing and get back at someone who's been tormenting you. At least, I hope he's going to do the right thing...

This Friday is the deadline for submissions for Fan Art Week, which will showcase five pieces while I'm on vacation during the first week of August.

For the remainder of this week, pay no shipping in the SEER'S CATALOG on book orders! It's a "summer convention sale" since I won't be at Otakon this weekend!

I told you I was going to repeat myself.

That's all from me for now.
Rock on.
This week, in summary. July 26, 2011 Posted by Mookie
Dominic's "portrayal" of a Destroyer seems to be much more convincing this time, doesn't it?

This Friday is the deadline for submissions for Fan Art Week, which will showcase five pieces while I'm on vacation during the first week of August.

For the remainder of this week, pay no shipping in the SEER'S CATALOG on book orders! It's a "summer convention sale" since I won't be at Otakon this weekend!

And thus concludes our news for the week summary. I'll likely repeat myself again tomorrow.

That's all from me for now.
Rock on.
On the tragedy in Norway, conventions and vacations. July 25, 2011 Posted by Mookie
First of all, I want to extend my condolences and love to anyone and everyone affected by the terrible tragedy in Norway. It was a senseless act of violence, hate and intolerance that cut many innocent lives short. Our hearts go out to you.

This Friday is the deadline to submit fan art for next week's Fan Art Week. I'll be selecting five pieces to be featured on the front page while I'm on vacation next week, so be sure to get yours in by Friday for a chance to be showcased! Art relevant to this storyline and/or the characters involved is preferred but not necessary.

For the first time in many years I won't be at Otakon this weekend. But those of you who usually wait to purchase books from me at that convention needn't worry, because I've reduced the prices of all book collections in the SEER'S CATALOG as though I were there! For this week only, pay no shipping on book orders (international orders pay reduced shipping)!

That's all from me for now.
Rock on.
Open and clothed. July 22, 2011 Posted by Mookie
If this comic isn't ending with a cliffhanger, it's ending with a joke. And sometimes that joke is a pun. And sometimes that pun is a real groaner. I think we've got one of those today.

One week from today is the deadline to submit your artwork for the upcoming Fan Art Week, in which five pieces will be showcased on the front page while I'm on my annual summer vacation during the first week of August. So send in your submissions for a chance to be featured on the front page! Fan art featuring the current storyline and/or the characters involved in it are preferred, but if something "off-topic" really floors me I'll show it off anyway.

That's all from me for now.
Rock on, and have a nice weekend!
Insulting himself, too. July 21, 2011 Posted by Mookie
Yep. In calling Scarlatti a jerk for messing with Szark's head he basically insulted himself as well... since getting into people's heads is kinda what Dominic does. Although when he does it, he's usually trying to be helpful. Usually.

I haven't been to the comic book shop for three weeks now. I feel a little guilty, but with Flashpoint and Fear Itself crossing over into every title I read I just find myself caring so little about what happens next. And if a superhero comic can't capture that "I gotta know what happens next!" feeling in me, then I'm not spending my money on it.

That's all from me for now.
Rock on.
All the way under his skin. July 20, 2011 Posted by Mookie
Is Szark doing his best Inigo Montoya impression in the first panel of today's comic? All he'd have to say is, "Father... guide my sword!" and we'd know.

Keep those submissions for Fan Art week coming! It will run for the first week of August while I'm away on vacation. The deadline for submissions is Friday, July 29!

I should have a new convention added to my schedule in a few days. Keep an eye out to see where I'll be next!

That's all from me for now.
Rock on.
Pieces of you. July 19, 2011 Posted by Mookie
I sometimes wish I had a crazy little chaos seer to keep me from shooting my mouth off. Sometimes I am quite good at censoring myself. Most times I am not so good at it.

Submissions are still being accepted for the upcoming fan art filler week! I'll be on vacation for the first week of August, like I am every year, and I want to showcase five pieces of art by you, the greatest readers in the world. Send in your submissions for a chance to be featured on the front page!

That's all from me for now.
Rock on.
The price of power? July 18, 2011 Posted by Mookie
Is Dominic's theory about Celesto's gleeful bloodthirst correct? We'll find out soon enough!

I mentioned last week that I'll be taking my annual summer vacation during the first week of August, and that I need five pieces of fan art to cover my absence. So send me your submissions for a chance for your work to be featured here on the front page! Submissions relating to the characters in this current storyline are preferred, but if something is really impressive I'll show it anyway.

The submission deadline is Friday, July 29.

That's all from me for now.
Rock on!
Psycho(planar)-killer. Qu'est-ce que c'est? July 15, 2011 Posted by Mookie
Celesto seems a bit more "enthusiastic" than usual, doesn't he? Like maybe there's a reason he does so well on the psychoplanes?

It was strange to do a straightforward eight-panel comic for a second sight encounter again, but it was the only way I could deal with this much dialogue and not make the strip look cluttered. Oh well. Maybe next week these two won't be so chatty.

That's all from me for now.
Rock on and have a nice weekend!
Celesto the Mimic. July 14, 2011 Posted by Mookie
I originally wanted today's comic to have more of an out-of-panel feel to it, like some of the other scrying strips have had lately, but in the end the good old eight-panel layout was the only way to work in that much talking. Celesto was feeling wordy today. Plus, I got to draw a lot of shattered panel debris, which I always enjoy.

Other than that, there's not a whole lot of news to report and that's fine by me. No news is good news, I say.

Yesterday's news post has all the relevant information about my upcoming vacation, my need for five pieces of filler, and my lack of attendance at Otakon this year.

That's all from me for now.
Rock on.
All the king's horses and all the king's men... July 13, 2011 Posted by Mookie
With my summer conventions all over, the only "event" I have left is my annual summer vacation with Alyssa and her family. I'll be gone throughout the first week of August, so I'm going to need guest art to fill up the week I'll be gone, just like last year and the year before that.

So put on your art caps and start thinking of pieces to submit, preferably involving the current storyline and/or any characters involved. I'll need five pieces altogether, and the submission deadline will likely be Friday, July 29. This may change, but I'll keep you folks posted.

That's all from me for now.
Rock on.
