It’s been a year since the last new comic strip, but hey… Space Base 8 is back. Or will be starting November 1. The first new comic goes up Friday, November 1, and then after that Space Base 8 will update twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Yay! new stuff!

You can catch older strips, what I like to call Space Base 8 “retrosodes”, Monday through Friday at Tapastic.com.

And…

What are you doing November 1 thru 3? Going to be near the Los Angeles Convention Center? Are you going to Stan Lee’s Comikaze Comic, Anime, Gaming,Sci-Fi,Fantasy and Horror Expo? Then come visit me, David Scott Smith, creator of Space Base 8, because I will be there! Find table AA736, find me there, and  buy some books, buttons, and posters offa me. I’ll sign books and draw them  for ya and everything.

To recap: New comic strips starting November 1at spacebase8.com,  Retrosodes at Tapastic.com, and Comikaze Expo November 1 through 3 at the Los angeles Convention Center, table AA736. See you there.

I will be at WonderCon in Anaheim, California from March 29-31. Come visit me in the small press area at booth SP 65. I will have books for sale, a new full color Space Base 8 magazine, Space Base 8 buttons, posters, and mini-comics! Buy the book, “Blast Off!”, and I will autograph it and doodle a free sketch in it for ya. How’s that sound?

This will be my first time exhibiting at a convention, and I am pretty excited! Please come by and say hello. I really crave the attention.

And if you can’t make it to the convention but would still like a copy of the book “Blast Off!”, it is available online here, as always.

Hey, it’s another Rocket Ship Friday, youse guys! This ship is called the Angel Biter colony transport, and it comes to us from Mat Washburn, who does the webcomic Evan Yeti. A Yeti, a talking snowman, and a walrus clan with a secret weapon… what more could you ask for in a webcomic? Go check it out, what else are you going to do with all this time on your hands?

Thanks, Mat, for this wicked cool piece of space art!
