I put the comic up late Tuesday night so technically I wasn’t a day late, but yeah basically I was.

I actually did this joke already, here… but this time it’s more than just a one-off, throwaway gag……… dot dot dot ellipsis

I’ve been poolside a lot this summer, so I’ve been witnessing this game a bunch. Hint: if you don’t get today’s punchline click on the link, you’re welcome.

Work is still a bitch. See my post last week. That’s all I gotta say for now… that, and man am I hungry for some Chinese.

WOOO, a chance to use my pee and poop tags again. Feels like it’s been a while. Don’t anyone dare make that association with Chinese food though, cuz Chinese food’s the greatest thing in the world to me, yes it is. The joke just happened to be there, though. No I’m not proud.

The Monkey King is a traditional folk hero in Chinese culture, and one of the stars of Gene Yang’s American Born Chinese, a terrific graphic novel that I can’t say enough about. In fact, I’m just gonna point you to Fleen’s glowing review of it, which is basically how I feel. Oh yeah, it’s also the first graphic novel ever to be nominated for the National Book Award. Do yourself a favor and pick yourself up a copy!

HEY WE’RE NOW UPDATING TWICE A WEEK

Here we are, episode #200, and what better way to mark the occasion by announcing something crazy that I’m unprepared to do. Starting this week I’ll be posting TWO new comics per week instead of one. This week, the next update will be on Friday, and then Tuesdays and Fridays thereafter. I figure most of the new comics will be the old-school, shorter 3-panellers that you enjoyed through the first year for about 130 episodes, but for those of you who dig the full-page pieces of the last year, I’ll probably do some o’ those once in a while. All depends on what mood I’m in.

You are now free to promote your bookmark to this site from your “Awesome, but updates kinda infrequently” section to “PARADISE ON EARTH”.

Also in case you missed it last week, the brand new aLp Shop has the brand-new t-shirts (men’s and women’s styles) and other sexy stuff for sale. Be the first one on your block wearing aLp!

The new t-shirts are in (and lookin’ hot), as well as high-res prints and fridge magnets, all now available in the brand new Shop. It’s imminent purchases like yours that keeps the comic going and free! Be the first one on your block wearing aLp! Thanks!
