Star Trek Fan Portal: The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition
Cafe Press home of Otter Disaster Designs has teamed up with CBS to create a Star Trek Fan Portal, allowing shop owners to create and sell Star Trek themed merchandise.
Here is my first offering featuring some of my favorite Ferengi Rules of Acquisition:
Being a free market libertarian, I always thought the Ferengi were the coolest aliens on Star Trek, and that their quest for profit was far more noble than portrayed on the shows. The Ferengi were featured heavily on Deep Space Nine, which is my favorite of the numerous Star Trek spin-off series. I loved that in the so-called Utopian Trek future (where there was no money) there were still merchants using a medium of exchange (gold pressed latinum) to conduct business.
The shirts feature five different rules, I'm sure one of them will be to your liking!

24 Hour Comics Day 2010 is Coming!
24 Hour Comics day is right around the corner and once again I'm planning to participate.
The date:
Once again, I'm encouraging Bitstrippers to join me in the monumental task of creating a full length comic story in a single 24 hour window:
Some people, can't commit to the whole day, but there are other options:
Of course the whole exercise is about spontaneity, originality, and creativity:

Dingy - A Dingbat Font Based Strip
I'm terribly excited that Bitstrips now allows users to utilize their own installed fonts in the comic builders. This was hinted at last year, and I wrote about the possibilities presented by such a feature. I am planning a prop font right now (a series of swords, guns and other weapons), and hope to have it finished in a week or so. Fonts can now be layered behind other objects in Bitstrips, something not possible when the font feature was first teased, making the use of font-based custom objects even cooler.
In the meantime I've created a Dingbat Font based Gag Panel Strip called Dingy to play with the enhanced graphic possibilities of this new feature. Kudos to the Core Matrix team for all the recent additions to the Bitstrips experience.
Here's episode 1 of Dingy inspired by the lovely Mrs. Disaster-1955:
