I’m on vacation this week, giving you extra time to fall in love with “Howard’s Manuscript”. Right now you just like it as a friend.

But I haven’t left you completely without something new and DDTish this week. I recently did a guest comic for friend-of-DDT David Wilborn’s Urban Jungle. Go for the greyscale collage comic, and then stay for the full-color animals in neckties.

Ugh. A computer crash wiped out a small chunk of progress, but at a critical period of time.  Because I was getting things working again when I should have been comicking, this week’s DDT has been delayed.

I’ll post the comic as soon as I can, but unfortunately that might be as late as Thursday.  In the meantime, please drop me a note to let me know how you feel about my using the word “comicking”.

To Chinese and Back Again

For April Fools’ “fun” I took a few DDT comics, used Google Translate to translate them from English to Chinese, then pasted the result into Babel Fish to translate it back to English.  (Actually, for “Reputation” I used Babel Fish first, then Google Translate.) I’m sure I’ve seen this idea several times before, on the web as well as on an episode of Newsradio.

Anyway, there are three comics in here, rotating every 8 seconds.

Includes:
“Jamboree Trip” –> “Travel of the big camping”
“Reputation” –> “Prestige”
“Epic Fail” –> “Epic poem defeat”

Super Bowl

You might want to read this comic that’s a little bit about the Super Bowl, so that you won’t be terrified if its halftime events actually come to pass. (It’s the sequel to this one, which doesn’t mention the Super Bowl at all.)
