Apparently the chair just needed its back chiseled out. Quick work, once you get started.
As I did a year ago, this holiday season I was pleased to make a special Wondermark comic strip for the Cards Against Humanity holiday project, which this year was Eight Sensible Gifts for Hannukah.
You can read the entire comic here! That’s just the first panel, above.
Boo, postal rates are going up again! Regular letter mail is unaffected—and there’s actually an improvement to parcel service: now first-class parcels can go up to 16 ounces, instead of 13! LONG OVERDUE, in my opinion!
BUT, unfortunately, package rates and international rates are going to go WAY up. The price increase takes effect on January 17, and I will have to bump up the shipping rates in the store a little.
SO, if you would like to buy some Wondermark valentine cards, and BE READY for mid-February for once in your life, this week is a really great time to do so!
We’ve also got the whole complement of Multi-Purpose Cards in stock, and thanks to our Kickstarter campaign last fall, all sets of the Multi cards now ship in snazzy foil-stamped boxes at no extra charge:
These boxes contain no labels or branding and are yours to keep forever! You can put anything you like in them, even drugs (CO and WA only).
What great boxes, everyone! Enjoy those boxes. They are pretty super! And the cards are good, too, I am told.
AND HERE’S A SPECIAL DEAL FOR YOU: I like these boxes so much, that for this week only, I’ll include a gold foil box with any set of 10 cards! You can mix and match which 10 cards you like, and I’ll pack them in the lovely elephant box for you to enjoy for the rest of your life and your descendants’ lives.
As we do every year around here, it’s time to look back and address any mistakes, errors, gaffes, and boners that might have snuck into our comics during the year of our Lord 2015.
#1091; A Duly Rigorous Experiment
I learned later that Charles Schulz made basically this same joke in 1965.
#1104; In which a Culture exists
The quote is original, not, as is stated by the character, from an episode of Futurama. I made the character say that it was merely for comic effect.
#1123; The Opposite of Prodigal
Deborah had not actually given the matter as much thought as she claimed, but like many of us faced with admitting an error, did not want to admit it once challenged.
#1141; Prime Time Drama
When the character references a “Skilsaw”, or circular saw, he is mentally picturing a “Sawzall”, or reciprocating saw. The latter would be more commonly used to cut through mounted drywall or sheetrock than the former, but I suppose either could work.
#1146; In which Theft is justified
This comic strip about plagiarism seems to have inadvertently exactly copied the trademark panel and character placement from Ryan North’s “Dinosaur Comics”.
#1159; In which a Frame is askew
That picture is really too high on the wall.
#1125; In which a Bean is juiced
Jeremy is describing his favorite beverage using unusual terminology. It is obvious to most that “beet stuff” represents sugar, in his unique patois, but some have wondered about the term “cactus gravy”. While not per se accurate, in the context of this comic strip cactus gravy is meant to mean agave nectar, which is a food sweetener found in the type of grocery store that allows you to scoop up your own personalized mix of granola. “Cow water”, elsewhere in the same strip, of course refers to bull semen.
Wondermark regrets the errors.

I really enjoyed this short comic by Paperbeatsscissors! It features a star war. Click through to read the whole thing.
Here’s my last post, probably, about this year’s calendar! We’ve sold most of them, but there are STILL A FEW LEFT. (As long as it shows as in stock in the store, it’s still available.) UPDATE: We have sold out!
We’re shipping all orders now!
Here are what the backboards look like! They are a very attractive wood.
If you like, you can order, like, five backboards and throw the calendars away! They are great for hanging up to-do lists or something, probably! Punch a hole in a receipt, dangle it from that thing…sure. It’ll work fine.
But why would you do that? The good news is, I don’t have to know! Do what you like, in the privacy of your home. The Wondermark Calendar is here to help.
