That Balthazar’s in a pickle!
Just a reminder, if you want to get any merchandise from the Dresden Codak store (like the new B9 Kingdom books or Department of Awareness posters), Christmas delivery deadlines are fast approaching!
Guys! I’ve got all sorts of cool things in the Dresden Codak store for the holidays!
B9 Kingdom Books are now in the store for all!
New Department of Awareness Posters!
A poster of Dark Science Act 2: The Dark Scientific Method!
And now you can get a print of ANY DARK SCIENCE PAGE!
It’s so exciting I don’t even know what to do with myself!
New to Dark Science? Read from the beginning!
Apologies for this comic being a couple days late. Hurricane Sandy has caused a lot of trouble up here in Brooklyn, and things are only now beginning to enter any state of normalcy. All things considered, I made it out pretty well compared to my fellow East-Coasters. Hats off to the fine people who’ve been selflessly reassembling civilization on this coast.
Congratulations to the winners of the contest!
1st Prize - Joe Medwid

If you’re attending New York Comic Con this weekend, you can find me at the Benign Kingdom table (166), where I’ll be doing signings from 5-6pm on Friday/Saturday and 4-5pm on Sunday!
What are all those guys up to anyways?
Guys! I’ll be at the Small Press Expo this weekend, in Bethesda, MD (right outside DC)! I’ll be bringing along some cool new stuff like my B9 Kingdom Art Book (never before seen by humans), so don’t miss your chance to get one signed in person! I’ll also have with me the Dresden Codak Primer, the Department of Awareness Posters and an ALL NEW poster premiering at SPX!
You can find me at tables W13-W20, with all the Topatoco guys!
Unfortunately preparing for SPX took longer than expected, so I’ve been forced to push the next page of Dark Science to next week. But it’s a good one, I promise!
There’s a new Mars-themed wallpaper up with original art: Curiosity!
As usual, a donation of any amount will get you access to any and all wallpapers!
Today is my birthday! I am 29, and now filled with a creeping, unyielding dread, as if I have accomplished nothing of worth for the past decade. Welp, hope you like the comic!
The Benign Kingdom Kickstarter was a massive success! We ended up raising a whopping $140,617, dwarfing our initial goal of $15k. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed, and for those who didn’t, my book will eventually be available in the Topatoco Store, once it’s printed!
In other book related news, I can finally announce that I’m putting the finishing touches on the first ever full Dresden Codak book! It’s called The Tomorrow Girl, and it will include all of Dresden Codak aside from Dark Science and a few of the super early strips (as I don’t have print resolution copies of them). I’ll let you guys know when that’s ready to go!
