It looks like I forgot to post this one here, so here it is, out of order.

Laugh-Out-Loud Cats poster


Laugh-Out-Loud Cats #1900 is available for a limited time as a poster over at shirt.woot.com. And it's not even a shirt! It's a poster! On paper!
Click on the image to be taken to the item page, or click here.
I'm really excited about this becoming a reality. Several people have asked for this one in a larger poster version, and woot produces nice, high quality work. I've also been looking for the right time to do something hobo cat related with woot, and finally the stars aligned. Kind of literally!
While you're over on the site clicking things, how about voting for this? It's not a cat or a hobo, but the same guy drew it. He'd be really grateful.
I'm not sure how everything went third person all of a sudden, but Adam would like to bid you a good night now.
Ad astra!

you can vote for this if you want to...

...and if you're a woot customer. The link's here. Not this image* exactly, but the completed, colored version of it.
Believe it or not, these derbies tend to be decided pretty early, so it may be too late for this, but I appreciate you taking a look nonetheless. I'd give this drawing away, but like a dope I drew it in a sketchbook. Rest assured, I will be doing another giveaway soon.
Speaking of woot, come back Sunday night for something fun!

*This was posted on instagram. You can find me there with the username "apelad." I also posted some in progress drawings from tonight's comic. I'd post a direct link, but I'm not sure if that's possible. I did cross post them to my flickr account.

leave a comment for a chance to win this drawing

Here's the drawing that became this derby entry.
If you'd like a chance of winning it all for yourself, simply comment on this post.
But wait! A few things to consider:
Voting for the design on shirt.woot isn't a requirement for winning. That wouldn't be fair, plus how would I even know?
You don't have to be a fan of zombies to comment or win. That wouldn't be fair either.
Comments are still being moderated here to keep away the pharmacy spammers. I'll moderate and post them as time allows.
Be sure your email is in the appropriate box before you comment, not in the comment itself. The pharmacy spammers don't need more fodder.
The winner will be determined by an online random number generator in one week.
I may do this more often, depending on how this goes. I've got all these drawings just sitting around, when they could be hanging on your refrigerators!
The image is about ten inches wide by eight inches tall, ink on bristol paper. Nothing fancy. Also I'll be sure to sign it before I send it.
Thanks!

Three things!
1. If you're going to save daylight, make sure to poke some holes in the lid!
2. Parenting tip: get your kid(s) their own flashlight(s) otherwise you will only own dead flashlights!
3. I'll wager this comic will remind at least one person to change their clock.

This design is up for voting in this week's shirt.woot derby. You can vote here by clicking on the "I'd want one" tab above the upper left corner of the image. You'll need to be logged in, and you'll need to have made at least one purchase on any woot site in order to vote.
Even if you can't vote, tell your friends. Maybe they can. Maybe they like zombies. Maybe they'll get the reference in the title! Maybe they like lavender! You never know till you tweet, pin, like, wall post, tumblr, or + it.
Thanks for your longsufferingness as I continue on in my overly ambitious quest to one day win each and every derby handily and instantly.
I have some exciting and fun non-derby things coming up on shirt.woot, so watch this space. You'll be surprised and delighted, I promise.

Lots of designs up for voting once again

seQRet message

Who goes there?

A taste for adventure

Sculpting a snowman

Slow and steady

The number one most viewed hologram in the galaxy

All of these designs are up for a re-vote over on shirt.woot.com. Clicking on the title beneath any of these images should take you to its voting page. (If any of the links don't work, they're all visible and votable at shirt.woot.com/derby )
If you can*, would you mind voting for any or all of them? If you can't or don't want to, would you mind tweeting, pinning, facebooking, tumbling, redditing, or whatever elsing this post so your close personal friends who might like them are given the opportunity to vote? 
There's no obligation to buy anything, and a salesman will not visit your home.
I know it seems like a lot to ask, and you probably don't visit this site to be told what to do, but it's things like this that keep the cats rambling and keep me drawing.
Thanks! You guys are the best! I truly mean that.

*FINE PRINT FROM WOOT:

These shirts will be up for re-vote on shirt.woot.com/derby in about 10 hours or so. I'll post direct links tomorrow night, along with a painfully descriptive reminder of how the whole process works.
Count on it.
