Bigger comic. Click here. I gotta make a button or something for this.
Yay comics! I love
Holy crap you guys, I am BUSY. I haven’t mentioned it yet, but I’m going to be going to Las Vegas in July for a conference on science and skepticism called TAM (or the Amazing Meeting if you don’t like acronyms). If you happen to be a combination science nerd and doubting thomas like I am, it’s pretty much the emerald city incarnate. I’m not going to bore you with a list of the speakers or anything, but for cripes sake – Bill Nye is going to be there. However, I won’t be going as a sightseer or rubbernecker intent on getting my geek on with some uniquely personal celebrities (I may the only person you know to let go a girly scream upon seeing James Randi in the flesh). No, because I’ve been doing quite a lot of illustration work for Rebecca Watson (who happens to be a co-host on uber-nerdy and ultra-fabulous podcast, The Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe as well as the founder of Skepchick), which is awesome, and also leads to doodles like this one:
I love me some cryptids, even if they probably aren’t real.
I’ll be helping out with tabling duties, so if you happen to be in Vegas the 14-17, and have an extra five hundred bucks, come see me. I’ll probably be shouting at someone about string theory and/or why the mickey mouse comic strip from the 30′s is the pinnacle of the artform (it’s an arguable point, but not completely unlikely).
Anyway…hey, Billy the Dunce has a fan page on facebook, and it’s super great. Also, my twitter account is mesmerizing. Seriously.
Later,

Billy seems determined to make the best pet ever. A magical cyborg bird. It can sit on his wrist like a hawk and shoot enchanted laser beams from its foot. Nobody will ever call Billy a spaz again.
Also, loving the HipSquatch.
Nice page as always. Thanks for the easter egg. I had trouble figuring out that you were giving us an X-ray view through the wall by the door. I personally think it would have been better if Gibbles’ barn wall was destroyed but Billy was still knocking on the door because that seems more “Billyish” to me. What the hizzity hell do I know anyways?
I don’t know, maybe cyborg, maybe spritzer bird, either way what fun!
I really enjoy the details of Gibble’s console with the foot pedals and all the nernies and transforming console. It looks like it works.
