For those of you who follow Smoothie Home, You may have noticed it’s absence in the past few weeks. That is not because we have stopped creating or publishing Smoothie Home strips, but simply because the current strips in the Daily Texan are part of a large, continuous, 7-8 part story line (plus the Whodunit thing is taking up time). This story marks the end of our first narrative arc (if you can call it that). So if you’ll be patient, I’ll post the whole thing up when the story has been completed. I promise that it’s soon (as in within the next week or two). My apologies for not saying so earlier. Until next time, have a nice day :)

So the event has reached it’s last day, and you know what that means! The entire thing is chronicled over at the
6 dollars, please blog
Which features of course the cast of 6 dollars, please, as well as other Daily Texan Comics like Elysium, John Thorn vs. Senior Year, Adventures in Emergency Medicine, Run Cupcake Run, Raj and Boris, Ice Breaker, Mipsters, Psycho Bevo, Lou-zer, and our very own Smoothie Home and tWC.
So head over and check it out!
It looks great and we all put a lot of work into it. More than you might think! Our editor Carolyn did a lot of Photoshop work and organizing behind the curtains, as well as plenty of the other comic artists who stopped by to lend a hand.
If you all enjoy it, then we’ll know it paid off. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and we’ll see you next week!
I meant to tell you guys this sooner, but we’re rolling a little differently this week. Nevermind that the Thanksgiving Holiday would throw a wrench in the updates anyway, but I had three papers and a project outline all due this week, and I spent the weekend working on those.
DESPITE THAT, I still had time to particiipate in something REALLY COOL comics-wise. The Daily Texan (which I do comics for) is doing a Thanksgiving Who-Dun-It event, all of the good majority of the Daily Texan comic artists are involved. That means Sammy too, so Smoothie Home is also in it. There’s also John Thorn, Elysium, 6 Dollars, Please, Run Cupcake Run, Lou-zer (or Joysticks), Mipsters, Ice Breaker, Adventures in Emergency Medicine, and of course, Psycho Bevo. This is a MAJOR CROSSOVER. It is a three day event starting Monday and ending Wednesday, so I suggest that anyone who can pick up the paper these three days do so because it looks fantastic and it has been a lot of fun to do.
To give you just a taste of the awesome, have a look at this:
Yes, that is John Thorn standing next to Emery in the same panel. Cool, huh?
For those of you not in the Austin area, don’t worry. These super cool events tend to go up online at the 6 Dollars, Please blog once the paper has finished running it, so if that is the case then I will get you a link the moment that happens. If not, well hell, then I’ll just scan the newspaper for you.
Of course this all means that you’d probably have to wait until after Wednesday to read it, but I promise it will be worth the wait! Also, as you’ve probably figured out, the comic won’t be updating on a regular schedule this week. We resume next week, probably on a MWF schedule.
Also, on a side note, you may be wondering why Smoothie Home hasn’t updated in a while here on the site. Solomon and Sammy are working on an actual story arc right now, and Solomon plans to post it in its entirety when it is complete (which will be soon, I think) rather than page by page.
Sound good? =)
So I’m thinking most of us thought this was cool when we were younger. Hooray for color Thursdays.
Yesterday was my 21st birthday, and it was quite a normal day. Or it would have been if not for my friends, Samantha, and all the people that wished me a happy birthday. It was a small and contained good time, but it meant the world to me. I should scan the birthday collaboration drawing that Solomon, Jonathan, and Cesar did for me. It’s pretty great. XD
Thanks everyone for the happy birthday. =)
If this joke looks familiar to you, don’t worry. It just means you’re either a long time reader or that you’ve been paying attention.
This is another thing I get a lot. Sometimes I just end up in situations where for whatever reason I don’t shave for a while, and I start to grow a beard. Jorge was the first to start called me “Logan.” Subhash, however, has truly championed it. It another case where I sometimes wonder “What if I were…?”
