Hey everyone, just wanted to remind you that voting is still open for Webcomic Idol round 3. It’s not looking too good for ol’ Marooned right now. If I am in the bottom 3, the judges will vote one out, and you can be pretty sure I will be the one out. So if you have not voted yet and you wouldn’t mind helping out, shoot over to the link below and vote one of the 4 comics OUT - not in. So do NOT cast a vote for Marooned (that would be bad for me!)

Also just a reminder that next week I’m choosing a random person from everyone who signs up in the forum to receive a limited edition print. So make sure you register.

Man I love Pixar. They just know how to do it right. Coming up on the Wall-e DVD is going to be another short called Burn-e. If you remember in the film, Burn-e was a little guy who went to fix this light outside the ship. Well the short film tells the story of his mishaps that you don’t see that happen while the film is progressing.

It’s simply brilliant. They cut to the scenes of the movie to give you the exact sense of timing of when all this is happening. The comedic beats are great, and Burn-e is cute beyond comprehension. It gives you the feeling like you are watching lost scenes from the movie, which is what I am sure they intended, a kind of little side story.

In any event, io9.com has actually posted the film in two parts on their site if you want to see it. It’s in some foreign language unfortunately, and the quality is not good, but you can watch the whole thing. I can’t wait til this DVD comes out, I loved the film as well.

Watch it here. I’m not sure if they can legally post that so it may not be there for long, who knows.

Well it looks like I made it into round three! It was tough before, not it’s REALLY gonna be tough! I’m one of the last 4 standing. The drill is the same, go to the link below and vote a comic OUT - (do NOT vote for Marooned!)

I really appreciate all your support so far. I’m sure without it, I would not have made it past round one. Link is here:
