Guest-Starring: Tom Racine!

Guest-Starring: Tom Racine!

At long last, I’m pleased to announce the first Guest-Star PC Weenies strip in quite some time. Tom Racine, the affable host of the incredibly popular Tall Tale Radio podcast, gets the spotlight today.

I let Tom get a sneak peek of his guest-star appearance earlier today, and he had this to say:

Hot damn, man! I am so honored. I love your style so much, and to be a part of it is just amazing. I love panel 3! :)

Looks great, brother…and pretty much how I react to #*%$@! OS upgrades. VERY wary of them. Put me in a cool nerdy t-shirt and you’re golden! How cool!

Tom

Tom, this one’s for you!

Guest-starring in a PC Weenies comic is super simple – and a terrific gift to give to your friends, coworkers or loved ones. Join the cast of PC Weenies and sign up to be in your very own PC Weenies comic today!

P.S. I’ll be at Megacon in Orlando two weeks from now. It was a last minute addition – I’ll have books for sale, of course, and hopefully some nice prints, handshakes and smiles. Stop by!

My quest to complete 90 illustrations in 90 days continues. To see how these pieces developed, follow me on the Tumblrs.

P.S. Despite the fact that I’m no longer publishing regular PC Weenies comics, I’m still taking Guest-Star strip requests for PC Weenies. So, if you want a new ‘toon, feel free to sponsor one!

Guest-Starring: Aljiro and Joyce!

Today’s PC Weenies guest-star ‘toon features Leo Aljiro San Luis and his girlfriend Joyce, to commemorate their 2nd year anniversary together.

The general tech themes Aljiro suggested to me were:

  • Building a happy anniversary website
  • Creating a happy anniversary eCard
  • Saying I love you in binary

The result you see in today’s ‘toon.

Happy Anniversary, Aljiro and Joyce! :D

Guest-starring in a PC Weenies ‘toon is a great way to tell someone how you feel – and makes the perfect unique gift for your friends and loved ones. It’s super easy and it’s fun!

Stay ‘tooned!

Guest-Starring: Kinzie Kramer

Guest-Starring: Kinzie Kramer

Today’s strip features first-time PC Weenies guest-star Kinzie Kramer. Her guest-star appearance, which included a photo frame of her print AND an original sketch, was sponsored by her coworkers.

Before I begin any guest-appearance, I like to find out a little bit of information about the person and possible tech themes to include. One of her directors supplied the following tidbits:


For two years, Kinzie has been the administrative assistant for our engineering department. She’s transferring to a new job in marketing, and the comic is a goodbye gift from the engineering directors (her bosses). One possible theme is “weird stuff you find yourself doing when you support an engineering team”.

I received a few photos of Kinzie for reference, and worked up the custom comic you see up above.

Upon receiving her guest-star gift, Kinzie e-mailed me:


Hi Krishna,

Thank you so much for my comic! I was so thrilled when Jill presented it to me last Friday. And I’m also honored to be apart of your comic strip. Please find a photo attached. I’m on the right in the photo :-)

Cheers,
Kinzie

Glad you liked the ‘toon, Kinzie!

Guest-starring in your very own PC Weenies comic is super easy, and is the perfect unique gift for coworkers, family or friends. It’s also a fun way to support the comic. So what are you waiting for? Sign up today!

Guest-Starring: Megan!

Today’s strip features a brand new guest-star: Megan, who, as I understand it, is a long-time reader of the strip.

Megan celebrates her 15th birthday today (Happy Birthday!). Her guest-star appearance was purchased by her Uncle Keith and Aunt Ellen. :-)

Enjoy the strip!

Today’s PC Weenies guest-star comic was commissioned by Ellen Spertus. You may remember her and her husband Keith’s appearance many moons ago.

Today’s ‘toon celebrates the birth of their daughter Julia who arrived a few days ago. Both Mom and daughter are doing fine! A hearty congratulations to the proud parents!

BTW, this Saturday I’ll be selling books, giving sketches and high-fives at the Spring Street Festival in Tampa. There will be a host of other vendors, artists, and local community members with things for sale. The address of the venue is:

Real Life Church | 6821 W. Waters Ave | Tampa, FL 33634

The festival is from 9AM to 3PM. If you’re in the area, please stop by – I’d like to meet you!

Guest-Starring: Pleek!

by Krishna on March 5, 2010 at 5:46 am
Guest-Starring: Pleek!

A few weeks ago, I appeared on the PixelatedGeek podcast. It was a ton of fun to hang out with the crew there. Nelson, one of the members of the team, commissioned me to have the PixelatedGeek mascot (dubbed Pleek) appear within a PC Weenies strip.

What is significant about this guest-star is that it marks the first time another cartoon character has appeared in a PC Weenies strip as a guest-star. Including Pleek was a bit of a fun challenge for me, because the only point of reference I had for the character was the image shown in the PixelatedGeek header.

Guest-starring is super-easy, and a neat way to have you, your friends, or even your own character appear in a PC Weenies strip.

BONUS limited-time deal for this weekend ONLY:

Order a guest-star appearance at the $35 level or higher and get an autographed copy of “Rebootus Maximus” (the first PC Weenies book) with your favorite PC Weenies character sketched inside — included with your order! PLUS, US orders get FREE shipping!

Ordering outside of the US? Contact me for shipping costs!

Sign up today! :)

Enjoy!

Guest-Starring Amanda Holstein!

Guest-Starring Amanda Holstein!

Today’s comic guest stars Amanda Holstein, commissioned by her dad Bill.

Bill wrote:

When it comes to computers and electronics, my daughter is like a blond. She can spend hours typing a report, then either not save it or forget where she saved it. She also expect the Internet to respond instantly, and gets very frustrated when she has to wait for pages to load (probably due to all the junk she has downloaded on to our computer). And finally, she just got unlimited text on her cell phone, so she has forgotten how to TALK to her friends.

Thanks, Bill! Hope Amanda enjoys her guest-star comic!

Let me know what you think of the ‘toons today! Enjoy!

P.S. I’ve updated the “Propaganda” page with brand new PCW banners and stuff. Thanks to reader timelawd for alerting me to the fact that the previous banner image links were broken.

Atypical Grail Quest (Guest-Starring: Victor Cajiao!)

Atypical Grail Quest (Guest-Starring: Victor Cajiao!)

(I’m taking a brief pause from the Footle storyline this week. Don’t worry, we’ll find out what happens to Bob and Maurice next week. Stay ‘tooned.)

Today’s guest-star ‘toon features Victor Cajiao, host of the very popular Typical Mac User Podcast. Victor has been a long time supporter of the strip, with appearances going back for the last 5 years (he holds the record for being in more PCW comics than any other guest-star!).

Guest-Starring is a fun way to appear in a comic. It’s also a great way to surprise a friend on a special occasion. It’s also a fun way to support the comic. (Who knows? Maybe your guest-star comic will appear in the next PC Weenies book!)

My goal this year is to beat the 2008 record of 29 guest-stars. I know we can do it. Whaddayasay? :)

Oh, and if today’s reference to Geraldo Rivera doesn’t make sense, may I present Exhibit A and Exhibit B:

Guest-Starring: Jarmo Hanninen

by Krishna on April 14, 2009 at 12:00 am
Guest-Starring: Jarmo Hanninen

Before we re-embark on the current Footle storyline, may I present to you a slight detour with today’s guest-star strip?

Today’s comic features self-avowed PCW fan Jarmo Hanninen, who lives in Finland. (And for the record, I’ve drawn strips for guest-stars hailing from across the Atlantic, namely Italy, Germany, Israel, and England. I’ve even received a guest-strip written and drawn by some talented guy who lives in Sweden.)

The number of US guest-stars still outnumber our overseas counterparts, but I have a feeling that our international friends may change that soon… (Hint! Hint!) :)

Anyway, I digress…

Jarmo had two requirements for his guest-star appearance: somehow both Finland and coffee had to be in the strip. The challenge was quickly accepted and the result you now see before you.

And, for those of you who are interested, Jarmo’s webcomic can be found at Finn-Strip.

Jarmo’s avatar will soon appear on the Featured Guest-Star list for 2009. And the guest-star list from 2008 is also available for your perusal.

Will you be next?

-Krishna
