Next Monday is ZooDotCom's 100^th strip! Wow, times been a flyin'. It's amazing how quickly it goes when one actually updates on time, isn't it?

To celebrate this illustrious occasion I'm kicking off a new, super-sized, story arc. All the strips will be double tall (Sunday strip sized), and new strips will be posted every day through the end of the storyline. (After that, I'll return to bi-weekly updates.)

I'm really excited about bringing the ZdC gang to a place that I've loved since I was a wee little McToddler.

Be sure and check back Monday. I hope you'll all enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying writing it!

I'm a fan of the NBA... Most of the time. But I swear, the officiating has been horrible this year. Not just for my team, but all over. It's enough to make you wonder.

Check out my speculation of what goes on in the NBA league offices.

Recently, my brother picked up a DVD set of campy scifi TV shows. In the collection was one called Ark II. Technically, I was alive when it was on the air-but just barely. So needless to say, I don't remember it. I have to say though, keeping in mind it's an old Saturday morning show, I've really liked it.

It's so bad that it's good. If you know what I mean. The show is about three "highly trained young scientists," and a chimp, who are roaming around a dystopian 25th century. A light-hearted premise, really. They travel in their bullet shaped winnebago mobile lab, the Ark II. Inside that they also have a small buggy vehicle, the Roamer, and a jet-pack. That's right, a jet-pack, baby!

Anyway, I did a sketch of a couple of the characters, Jonah and Adam:

If you've seen the show, then you know I made Adam (the chimp) a little out of character. He's smart, but not that smart. He actually sounds like Solomon Grundy using Stephen Hawking's voice box thing.

For some reason, though, I find a chimp with a British accent hilarious. But maybe that's just me. :-)

You enjoy reading ZooDotCom, doncha? 'Course you do. And you've wondered how you can help support ZdC. Well, here's your answer! Buy some original and fun swag from the store!

Starting right now you can get the "I KNOW A GUY" t-shirt and signed prints of any comic in the archive!

Enjoy, and thanks!

I like to do warmup sketches before I start drawing. Helps loosen up my artwork. This is our beloved APO, of course. Care for some little known ZooDotCom trivia?

Too bad, I'm gonna tell you anyway.

The strip was originally going to be called "APO's World." It was going to be strictly about APO and his being surrounded by -- what he thought were -- complete idiots.

Also, APO's name is actually an acronym. Can you guess what it stands for? Here's a hint. Years ago, I would draw A.P.O. on my marker-board. He would vent on all the outrageous things I saw going on in my workplace.

Good fun. :-)
