Loads of news today, a little bit of everything! Signups, too!

Lots of stuff today so listen up!

First up we've got community stuffs:


FUSION SIGNUPS TIME! This is a fun, easy way to get into a community project without a lot of work! The Fusion is kind of a 'game' where the first person makes a panel, passes it to the next person who makes the second panel, and passes ONLY that second panel onto the third person to make the third panel, who passes ONLY the third panel onto the fourth person… So! All you're really doing is making a panel based on the single one you've seen before. It's a lot of fun, and when they're all posted at the end (click on the comic thumbnail above to see finished Fusions) you can see how quickly things get weird and off-path. :]


MAFIA SIGNUPS TOO! They'd like to get as many people as they can before the game starts on Wednesday night!

This will be a game like no other. Normally the game involves about the players killing each other left and right. Well that's all fine and good but what happens after they die? Well here I am to tell you all. There's no peaceful afterlife! It's back to the trenches people! A war between Heaven and Hell is about to ignite. So come on over, pluck the feathers of a nearby angel, harass the demons with their own pitchfork and conduct mayhem that is sure to make Lucifer himself jealous of envy. The game of ultimate destiny is about to begin. Don't miss out if you know what's good for you.

For the 27 & 28 show we have some super cool guests that could benefit artists on dd. On our Aug 14 show we will have an interview with KA-BLAM online printing company. We will discuss the how to's of using them to print on demand comics! On our Aug 20 show we will be interviewing ARROW COMICS. They have been independent publishers since the 80's and we will talk with them about the in's and out's of running an independent comic company or how to do it on your own. I think both of these interviews will be more than helpful to all on dd who want to take their comic to the next level.

Sometimes the strip spins off into 'The Adventures of Captain Invisible'. Is Captain Invisible a fictional character within the strip's universe or would it be possible for him to 'cross over' with Stickman and Cube?

Good question! Captain Invisible has, to my recollection, appeared twice outside of his own strips (except his character profile): once in the May Day filler in 2008 and once in "The Slow Path" storyline when the Cartoonist needed advice on what to do in Stickman and Cube's absence due to time travel.
The canonicity of fillers is rather nebulously defined, and Captain Invisible talking to the Cartoonist doesn't necessarily prove he exists within Stickman and Cube's main universe. The duo certainly know he exists.
Really, what parts of the comic constitute Stickman and Cube's actual universe are rather unclear, as it constantly changes with my whims. It started off as an entirely blank universe consisting solely of Stickman and Cube, but now includes Nebraska, a voting place, The Brewpub and Canberra. "Behind the Inanimateness: The Mr Tasey Story" is a whole other issue.
The answer here is a definite "I have no idea, but good on you for asking that question".
