Eric's artwork of gorillasThere’s this great artist who writes this great blog that holds some great content, see? The artist is Eric Scales, and the blog is called The Ol” Sketchbook, and the content is usually Eric’s great art and stuff. He took a break from posting great art, and has put up an interview of me instead! I won’t pretend to think I am particularly interesting, but still, go check it out, won’t you? Go to ericscalessketchbook,blogspot.com.

Especially the folding part. Especially the neatly done type of folding. Thanks, Mr. Foldboto.

First Anniversary!

June 1st, 2010 | by Dave
Posted In: blog

It’s Space Base 8’s birthday! On June 1, 2009 the very first Space Base 8 comic strip was posted on the intergalactic interwebs. I am happy to return to posting new strips after a bit of a break.

I send out a big thanks to the cartoonists who recently helped me out with the terrific guest strips. You all made it possible for Space Base 8 readers to get their SB8 fix while I took some much needed time to get my act together. So today (Tuesday) please find a new strip posted, and expect more strips from me Wednesday and Friday as usual. But wait. there’s more! You get another guest strip on Thursday! Five strips this week! Now how much would you pay?

And wow, a year of Space Base 8. How about that!

Wanna Draw Space Base 8?

It has been a long time since Space Base 8 has updated. Sorry about that. Thanks for all the comments and emails letting me know SB8 has been missed. I will resume posting on a regular schedule June 1, which is SB8’s first anniversary! Yay!

And if that is not soon enough for you, surprise! A new comic goes up May 20. Maybe that will keep you happy for a tiny while longer.

And if that won’t keep you happy, well, do a comic yourself, smarty pants! What I mean is, do a comic yourself… a Space Base 8 comic! You could be a guest cartoonist at Space Base 8! I invite you to make a Space Base 8 comic of your own. Send it to spacebase8@gmail.com. Keep it clean and make it funny and I just may post it. Really. You would be helping me out! I’ll give you credit and post a link to your site or comic or blog. Or maybe just say nice things about you. Whatever you like!

Thanks again for your patience, and thanks for reading Space Base 8. I look forward to seeing your guest strips!

Road Apples Almanac meets SB8

April 1st, 2010 | by Dave

The other day I got a present in my inbox. Don Ahe, creator of the wonderful webcomic Road Apples Almanac, sent me a crossover comic strip, featuring characters from both of our comics. I am so excited to share this strip with Space Base 8 readers!

Comic strip

That second panel just cracks me up! And look at the third panel. See Cargo’s comforting hand on Lighthouse’s head? Isn’t that great? That is called cartooning, people. Do yourself a favor and visit Road Apples Almanac. Spend some time there and read a bunch of the strips. Heck, go read ‘em all, I already did a while ago.  And look, I’m still smiling!

Thanks bunches, Don. I couldn’t be more flattered. No fooling.

It’s Called Duotone

January 4th, 2010 | by Dave
Posted In: blog

Oh, lookie look! I have added a little color to the Monday and Wednesday strips. Starting Monday, January 4, you will see Space Base 8 in a color. And black. And white. That’s a color, not full color. One color plus black, on a white background. In the printing world this type of thing is called duotone. In the real world it means since I’m already putting a gray tone in my art, I might just as easily pick a color instead of gray and give Mondays and Wednesdays a bit of pizzazz.

Friday strips will continue to be in as many colors as I want to put in them. Let’s call it full color, to sound fancy deluxe.

Leave a comment or send an email and let me know what you think!

One Hundred Comic Strips Young

November 23rd, 2009 | by Dave
Posted In: blog

November 23, 2009 is an auspicious day in comic strip history. For Space Base 8 anyway. Today’s comic strip is is the one hundredth! One hundred comics strips. A hundred. Hunnerd. Whew. Lemme just catch my breath.

Want to play a funny game? Go back to the first strip (just click on the part that says “first” up above this post, there) and read all the strips, in order, from the first to the most recent. See how much the look and feel of Space Base 8 has evolved? See how much you know about these characters now? See how you want to come back again and again to read more? Wasn’t that a fun game? Wow, you are really easy to impress!

I have wanted to do something like this comic strip for a very long time. Space Base 8 has become a large part of my life. I hope you will want to make it at least a tiny part of yours. Please come back and read the next hunnerd of ‘em. I will be there too. I don’t have a choice, I draw the crazy things!

Yours Truly,

Dave
