Stricken Pot Pie

Hello.

The birds are singing, that Morning song from “Peer Gynt” is playing, and Stricken Pot Pie is slowly coming out of hibernation. Having dealt with such distractions as a cross-country move across one of the larger countries, I am now easing back into life and stuff. Don’t expect new comics right away, but expect to expect them in the near future.

I’ve made a few changes to the website, the biggest one being that I have rephotographed each and every comic. Now the images don’t suck quite so much. Feel free to scroll through the Comic archives and marvel at my increasingly adequate photography skills.

And now the big news. In celebration of spring, I am pleased to announce the opportunity for you to transfer your money to me. The handy link on the right of this page, and this handy link right here, will take you to wondrous place where you can buy photo prints of a selection of SPP comic strips. And buttons! Buttons, people. Serious stuff.

If you want a print of a comic not currently available in the shop or a different size print or anything else you think I should sell, drop me a line at kristen@strickenpotpie.com. I’ll see what I can do.

And we will never speak of this again.

The most important thing I have forgotten to mention.

“Best. Concert. Ever.”, the live Jonathan Coulton concert DVD/CD featuring myself on ukulele, is now available for purchase. Great for JoCo fans, ukulele fans, Paul & Storm fans, and fans of dry ice and flashlights. If you’re not a fan of any of those things, well then I’m not sure how much more we have to say to one another.

It’s spring enough

Conversation between celebrations

Kristen — Sat, 09 May 2009 20:13:52 +0000

This week’s comic will appear on Sunday, a day early, because it is the special Mother’s Day edition. The original of said comic will then promptly be sent to my actual mother. (And because she is my mother, she knows that when I say “promptly” I mean “probably before Christmas. Maybe.”)

Mother’s Day usually falls within the same week as my birthday. This concurrence makes for a strange sort of conversation between celebrations, wherein my mom essentially says “Hey, congratulations on being born!” and I essentially say “Hey, congratulations on having done all the birth-related work!”

Marjorie and Emory’s riveting storyline will continue in the following installment.

Not as delicious as flan art but less messy

I have been shamefully slow in blogging this, but something awesome happened last weekend:

My sister, brother, and sister-in-law made Stricken Pot Pie Easter eggs and then, and this is the important part, made them RE-ENACT the first comic. I’m not sure whether it technically counts as fan art if it’s made by people who burped you as a baby, but whatever. Fan Art!

I requested, nay, demanded that the eggs be saved and made to re-enact every single SPP comic, but I don’t think my request was honored. Some fans they are.

Two more pictures within, including exciting carnival-style action and the drama of the Emory egg gradually succumbing to alopecia. It’s a shockingly common disease for eggs with fake fur lint pasted all over them. And yet where’s their walk-a-thon?
