Too bad the clown tasted funny.

Kirby! So nice to see you eating again--you must be famished. People might be surprised how tricky it's suddenly become to make a "Kirby eating" gag that doesn't feel too similar to previous ones. There's no major closure or shake-up in this strip, but I did want to do at least one more of these types of jokes before wrapping it up. So it's just for fun today!
The Brawl in the Family: The Complete Collection Kickstarter is doing incredibly well so far! Thank you guys so much for your support--not just now, but over the years of doing this. We managed to hit our goal in a mere two days, so now it's time to start hitting those stretch goals! And remember, this Kickstarter is the only way to be guaranteed a Volume Two or Three since I'm not ordering very many extras beyond that.
We have added a PayPal option too, so those of you who prefer that will have the opportunity to get books as well. The PayPal money will go towards the stretch goals, too.
And guess what else I gots for ya?
It's back! This special, super-sized episode (albeit a super-late one) goes into the details of the fun stuff Matthew played at E3...and also a more in-depth discussion about the comic's impending end! A few comments here and there are out of date, but you guys should get a kick out of it. In fact, despite being a bittersweet subject, this podcast soon gets quite silly, and the guys clearly had a lot of fun recording it.

[Intermission] "My Potty is Ready: Matthew's Impromptu Meetup with NOA's Number One" (32:28) -- This is a tale for the ages, folks. Cringe along with Chris as Matthew makes not-the-worst-decision upon seeing one Mr. Reggie Fils-Aime.

[Act 6] Leftovers: Shootin' the Breeze (1:45:26) - Chris chats about his latest escapades, and everyone's having a good time. Especially when they talk about Hakan making people feel strange.
[Act 7] Epilogue: Donkey Long (1:47:34) - Things reach a strangeness climax in this wrap-up. Enjoy the bizarre mental image at the end, and thanks for listening!
Also, every comic from this point on (well, since 590, really) will involve something pretty major involving BitF, and/or some sort of extra bonus like the Podcast above. Wow, it took awhile to type up this blog post. I shouldn't be doing this at 5 AM, but it was hard to sleep tonight because I'm under the weather.
