The wall of shame!

December 24th, 2009: It's true, Dinosaur Comics got personified last night and wished everyone an awesome new year. I do too!

This is where I take my MINI CHRISTMAS VACATION: there'll be no new comic Christmas Day, and I'll be running Klassik Komicks until January 1st, 2010 (next Friday!) So it's really just four Klasik Komix. I keep spelling "Klassick Kowmics" differently each time because they're that classic!

Have fun, everyone, and thank you for making 2009 one of my best years ever. It's still amazing that I get to do this comic instead of having a real job, and it's all thanks to you guys.

December 23rd, 2009: Dudes I ate SO MANY COOKIES last night, mostly made by Emily Horne and Tim Maly's mom and by Beth, who doesn't have a website!

Anyway, if I die of cookie overdose I wanted you to know which of my dear friends to go after!

December 22nd, 2009: Guys I got SO MANY great footers, and just in time, because winter just started here in Canada!

Here's the ones I got:

• Danielle Baskin sent me this gorgeous footer
• E L sent me this pretty scene, reminding me of rural Ontario
• Ruth replaced the log cabin with an igloo, and the tiny woman with ADORABLE PENGUINS
• Mary made this pixellicious version with holiday decorations AND a subtle love message
• Paul added some snow and a scientifically-accurate skyline
• Dan made a T-Rex snowman with a top hat and everything!
• Ed made this stylish and minimalist footer
• Donnie animated this wicked-sweet jump
• Finally, Tim created this depiction of front-lawn snow vandalism that's about to be dealt with

December 21st, 2009: I received some amazing winter footers! I'll leave this up one more day and put up the winner tomorrow. Thanks every! And here's what I'm talking about (from Friday): Okay so it's WINTER and I've still got that fall footer at the bottom of the page. Just like what I did for fall, I'm having a winter footer contest. Send me your best 1000x96 (it can be a bit taller if you want) image that loops, and I'll pick the winner and put it up on the site! Also, if you send in a URL I'll link to your URL with your submission.

Here's the fall version and the fall background image I use for looping. When I say "loops" I mean that the left-hand side of the image is the same as the right-hand side of the image, so when they're tiled horizontally they go together nicely. The background image is just repetitive part of the larger image without much detail to it that I can use for tiling.

Send them in if you're interested, and thanks!

December 18th, 2009: Here are some dudes playing classic SNES games for charity this weekend! You can watch them play and you can donate if they defeat Andross. You don't have to wait until they defeat Andross though!

December 17th, 2009: Thanks to Steven, an almost-lawyer who set me straight on the bear-punching clauses! The legality of spend-a-night-in-an-actually-haunted-house clauses remain an enigma.

The Child's Play charity auction for a T-Rex Squishable raised $241.51 for Child's Play. Nice work, you guys!
