So I didn't live up to my "almost daily updates" promise, but I have a new Wereswan comic today! I'll probably have another page tomorrow... Check back then!

February 27, 2010
Hey everybody, the Zach Galifianakis book is back up for sale! I'll probably have some more Wereswan tomorrow. Check back then. Once again, if you ordered a copy of the messed up book please let me know. My address is at the bottom of every page.

February 26, 2010
The brand-new comic Dwayne Malloy and the Curse of the Wereswan is up! Well, the first two pages and the first issue's cover, anyway. I'll be uploading new pages as I finish them for the next week or so and then it will update every single Friday. I'll be adding some kind of "about" page tomorrow. Tell your friends?
Tomorrow the Zach Galifianakis book will be back for sale. If you purchased a copy previously, please contact me. That is all.

February 20, 2010
COMING, UM, PROBABLY NEXT WEEK

February 18, 2010
Due to a printing error, the book will not be for sale until further notice. I will let you know when it's resolved. Thank you, and if you ordered a copy and it arrives wordless and worthless let me know and contact Lulu.com.

February 17, 2010
Quick update today: a picture I drew and painted of Perry Mason. That's it for now. See you tomorrow!

February 14, 2010
More of an addition to yesterday's than a full-fledged update, here is a picture of Alfred Hitchcock back in the Pictures section of the, um, Pictures section. I've got to rename that...

February 13, 2010
Lots of new things today. Well, more than a single updated area anyway. First! The 100 Depictions of Zach Galifianakis book is complete and ready for the ordering. It's 216 pages long and costs $12. Like I mentioned before, I was unable to bind it myself so you'll have to order it through Lulu. I'm very very pleased with how it turned out. Let me know what you think!
Second! I've uploaded pictures of the Zach Galifianakis plush and the two drawings for the first and second place winners. The plush stands 17" tall. It's hard to say if I'm more pleased with the plush or the book...
In other news, I'll be updating more frequently as I gear up for the next big project. All will be revealed next Thursday. See you then!

February 7, 2010
While I am waiting for a copy of the book to come from the printer, please enjoy this preview. It contains the cover, preface, and five samples from the interior. I'm very pleased with how it turned out and I hope you will be too! More news forthcoming! Stay tuned!

January 16, 2010
Hey guys, I just wanted to check in and let you know that the book project is about half done (reference descriptions are all written but I still have to do the index, table of contents, introduction, and the cover). I'll have more news in the coming week or so. Until then!
Also, because I can't imagine anyone wanting to read old updates, the front page will only have the most recent five dates. Perhaps later I'll add an archive for them but it's not high on the list.

December 31, 2009
REMINDER: Only about one and a half hours until the deadline.
The drawing is closed (and has taken place)! The winners are:
Austin
Nick
Mary
Also, I did a new version of the very first Zach Galifianakis which you can see here. Book news coming soon!

December 29, 2009
Not a major update, but I have put the second of the two-part hundredth Zach Galifianakis up. Probably no more updates until the 31st, announcing that the entry period for the giveaway is over. If you haven't entered do it quick! And remember: additional entry slips are just a poem and/or a drawing away! See you then!

December 27, 2009
I am pleased to announce that the one hundredth Zach Galifianakis is now up. With a caveat that it is the first of a two-part depiction. The second part will either go up in the next couple of days or when I end the entry period for the Zach Galifianakis Giveaway which is, as you can see by the bold letters up top, the first moment of the new year. Finally, I uploaded a new, super-clear version of the Zach Galifianakis Suggestions Poster. Remember: if you made a suggestion, send me your address and you get a poster for free. I'll see you in the next couple of days!

December 21, 2009
No real updates today but I have posted a clearer picture of the Zach Galifianakis Suggestions Poster. So far I look like I'm on track for Number 100 by the end of the week!

December 20, 2009
I've posted the Zach Galifianakis Suggestions Poster over in the Pictures section. It took forever, but I'm really pleased with how it came out! The final Zach Galifianakis should be finished by Saturday, so check back for that.

December 7, 2009
Two pieces of news today: first, two new Zach Galifianaki! Including the penultimate one! Second, in the next week I'll be posting a big picture of all of the suggestions people...suggested that I was unable to do. If you've made a suggestion and if you email me your mailing address I'll send one your way. It should be pretty neat? I'll see you all in the next week!

December 4, 2009
Today, a new Zach Galifianakis. I would just like to say that Zach Galifianakises 97, 98, and 99 will be done within a week. That's pretty awesome! More either later tonight or tomorrow.
UPDATE Another new Zach Galifianakis! One or two more tomorrow, probably.

November 30, 2009
I did have a Zach Galifinakais done last night, but I went to bed instead of updating. The upside, of course, is that today there are two new Zach Galifianaki! More possibly tomorrow. Or possibly not? Either way there are only FIVE Zach Galifianakises to go!

November 27, 2009
Two new Zach Galifianakises in a row! How long has it been since that happened? Too long. More tomorrow!

November 26, 2009
I'm exceedingly pleased to announce that, a couple weeks late, I've finally finished "Manos, or the Hands of Fate." There are three options for your reading pleasure: on the site, as a downloadable pdf (please right-click and save-as), or in a paperback edition. The only difference between the three versions is the formatting, they all have the same story.
Anyway, read it, tell people about it, and let me know what you think! I'll have a new Zach Galifianakis either later today or tomorrow. The updates just keep coming!
UPDATE There is a new Zach Galifianakis today as well. How about that?

November 23, 2009
I hope you don't hold the late update against me, when you see the new Zach Galifianakis I think you'll understand why I was so slow to finish it. Possibly more tomorrow, but definitely some other exciting news. So come back?

November 20, 2009
New Zach Galifianakis! More tomorrow!

November 16, 2009
Sorry about the lengthy time between updates. To make up for it, why not enjoy a fresh, crispy Zach Galifianakis straight off the tree? I'm going to try not to let so much time pass between updates now that the Final 12 list is more or less confirmed.
Also, if you made a suggestion and it hasn't been used and you find out, at 100, that it still wasn't used, don't fret! Every suggestion that has been made will be depicted in a non-canon manner: I'm going to do a big paper of doodles. That will go up before the final Zach Galifianakis, so stay tuned!

November 13, 2009
No new Zach Galifianakis tonight. But! A new section in the pictures page. I'm just calling it "pictures" as it will be a place for things like portraits and larger-scale drawings or paintings. It probably won't update too often, but we'll see. There will be a new Zach Galifianakis tomorrow though so check back then!

November 12, 2009
Today! A new Zach Galifianakis! Woo? More tomorrow? Maybe?

November 11, 2009
New Zach Galifianakis, as I do. More tomorrow or the next day! (Dullest newspost ever? Probably.)

November 9, 2009
Another new Zach Galifianakis! If I did one every day for the next two weeks I would be done. That is crazy town. See you tomorrow?

November 6, 2009
Hello, all. Today I have a new Zach Galifianakis for your enjoyment. There very well may be another one tomorrow. There is only one way to find out, really. (Hint: Wait.) See you (probably) tomorrow!

November 3, 2009
Here we are again. You are checking my comics website and I have updated it with a Zach Galifianakis. So check that out. Now that I'm in the swing of things I may update ever so slightly less frequently and actually work on them more between the actual updates. WE SHALL SEE.

November 2, 2009
New Zach Galifianakis tonight! More tomorrow? Most likely, yes.

November 1, 2009
Sorry it's been so long. But here's a new Zach Galifianakis. Will there be more tomorrow? Yes, because I'm going to do daily updates again for a little bit. I had good intentions about not updating everyday but I didn't really follow through...See you soon!

October 26, 2009
Hey guys, no new Zach Galifianakis tonight, but I've uploaded the autographed version of the one I sent him. Thanks, Zach Galifiankis! Probably more tomorrow!

October 24, 2009
Now I'll be doing updates pretty much every day. Starting with today's Zach Galifianakis! More tomorrow (or, at the latest, the day after tomorrow).

October 20, 2009
I've probably said it before and I'll probably say it again, but with the 80th Zach Galifianakis we're entering the home stretch. In order to give myself plenty of time to decide which situation to depict and to spend on the drawing itself, updates may come more sporadically. At most, probably an every other day situation or so.
Now more than ever I want to hear your suggestions. There's only 19 open spots left. See you soon!

October 19, 2009
If you would like a new Zach Galifianakis please proceed to the pictures section of this site or follow the link at the beginning of the post. Also, please return tomorrow for another installment. Until then...

October 18, 2009
Good evening. You'll never ever believe it but it's not even 11 pm and I have a new Zach Galifianakis. Pretty awesome, eh? And if I may, I advise checking out this installment's basis at ElsieHooper.com. You won't regret it! (More tomorrow!)

October 17, 2009
Hi everybody, I've got two new Zach Galifianakises for you. One of them is the promised number 75! More tomorrow. Definitely. Probably.

October 13, 2009
Two things: One, I counted incorrectly. Tonight's Zach Galifianakis is number 75, not 74. Because I already have a 74. I have no idea how I failed to notice that. Two, because every 25 Galifianakises (or Galifianaki) I include Seth Galifianakis, and because tonight's entry does not, I'm calling it number 76. Tomorrow's will be known as 75 and then I'll continue with 77 and so on. If it confuses anybody it should only confuse you tonight. Tomorrow! Will be the official number 75. Unless I've already done one...

October 12, 2009
Gah, I forgot my book of Zach Galifianakis at work today! So no updates tonight, but tomorrow I'll have both #74 and #75. I promise.

October 11, 2009
The good news is that I am not about to pass out from exhaustion. The other good news is that there is a new Zach Galifianakis. So check that out? More tomorrow!

October 10, 2009
Tonight I asked myself what I should do and the answer echoed back loud and clear: The same thing you do every night: Try to draw Zach Galifianakis. (I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense, I'm very tired. More tomorrow! At a more reasonable hour?)

October 9, 2009
Dear Readers, I am unable to pay my outstanding balance of [money] at this time. Please accept this Zach Galifianakis as payment. I trust it will settle my debt. Also, come back tomorrow because all signs point to having another done. Until then, yours truly, etc, Walt.

October 8, 2009
Welcome back, me. Why don't you have a new Zach Galifianakis? Don't mind if I do. Don't mind if I do. More tomorrow!

October 6, 2009
Hey dudes, a new Zach Galifianakis before it's even dark outside! How do you like them apples? See you tomorrow?

October 5, 2009
I was thinking about drawing this last night, but (obviously) decided against it. Here it is, the new Zach Galifianakis. Will there be another one tomorrow? Signs point to yes.

October 4, 2009
New Zach Galifianakis tonight. I'm not entirely sold on the pencil-over-pen thing going on there, but it turned out pretty well. More tomorrow!

October 3, 2009
Hey guys, look, it's an update before three in the morning. Crazy! Anyway, tonight's Galifianakis is easily the most disturbing one I've done. So...enjoy that? A happy one tomorrow!

October 2, 2009
Sorry for the delay! Ack, today's Zach Galifianakis took way longer than I expected it to. But it's done now. More tomorrow! For reals!

September 28, 2009
Yes, it is another Zach Galifianakis. I hope you were not surprised? See you soon! (Have you considered entering the giveaway?)

September 27, 2009
Not as much news today as yesterday. But there is a new Zach Galifianakis. Thanks to everyone who has entered the plushie giveaway so far! There's still plenty of time, so if you haven't yet, consider it? See you tomorrow.

September 26, 2009
Bunch of stuff today. First, and least of all, I finally noticed there was an error on the comics page wherein all of the archive links linked to the same archive page. Fixed! Also, new Zach Galifianakis is up AND I have enough paper to finish the hundred Galifianakises (or Galifianaki). Which is awesome.
Finally, and what I am most proud of tonight, is that I am announcing a Zach Galifianakis Plushie Giveaway! Head on over to see some pictures and the details about how to enter. I'm pretty excited about it and I hope you will be too.
More drawings tomorrow!

September 22, 2009
Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that there is a new Zach Galifianakis. The bad news is that I am now out of the paper I've been using. I should be able to get some in the next day or so and I'll update as soon as I get my hands on at least one (but preferably 38) pieces of it. See you hopefully tomorrow!

September 21, 2009
Another day, another similar newspost, another Zach Galifianakis. Another one tomorrow, as has become my way of life.

September 20, 2009
Why, if it isn't the first update on the (mostly) new site design. There are still a couple of kinks to work out, mostly regarding the degree to which different operating systems and different browsers will tolerate my errors, but that should be done tomorrow. Until then, be in good cheer? Yes.

September 19, 2009
Welcome to the pretty much newly redesigned Hobbes Comics! As far as I can tell, all there is left to do is add a proper news archive section and we're set. Let me know if you have any comments or concerns about the new set-up, and especially if you have any problems with navigation or broken links. Those are always pesky. There will be a new Zach Galifianakis tonight, so come back for that. (The newsposts below are still in their old format because, hey, I'm not made of time. And the links should all still work.)

September 18, 2009
New Galifianakis. The site maintenance is really getting underway and in the next couple of days everything should be all tied together. I'm pleased with how the new parts look (and how they will look) and I hope you are too. (Just how they look, not how they will, unless you are psychic and reading my mind right now.) More tomorrow.

September 17, 2009
After a brief sabbatical and some site issues, I bring you two new Zach Galifianakises. I'm going to be back on my regular schedule for a while, so more tomorrow.

September 13, 2009
Today is September 13, which can only mean one thing: Another Zach Galifianakis? Another Galifianakis. It almost goes without saying that there will be another tomorrow.

September 12, 2009
One new Zach Galifianakis today. Also, the page layout is slightly different. In a related note, please pardon my dust as I retool the site. Thanks! (More tomorrow.)

September 11, 2009
One more day, one more Galifianakis. More tomorrow!

September 10, 2009
Hey doods, sorry for the lack of Galifianakis the past couple of days. Today, it is amended with one new Zach Galifiankis.. There will be at least one more tomorrow, and some bigger news in the coming days.

September 7, 2009
Hey, only one new Galifianakis today. See you tomorrow with another and possibly two?

September 6, 2009
Well, I'm in the back fifty now. It's pretty exciting. More tomorrow, as per usual!

September 5, 2009
50! Fifty! I'm halfway done. What? Who am I? You had better bet there will be more tomorrow.

September 4, 2009
Today's entry, though slightly anachronistic, turned out pretty well. I think you'll agree. Tomorrow is the big 5-0, so be back for that. 50! All kinds of crazy!

September 3, 2009
Just the one new Zach Galifianakis today. I meant to have another one and spent a bunch of time drawing it before I realized I hadn't left room for Zach Galifianakis. Oh well. More tomorrow, of course.

September 2, 2009
Another day, another Zach Galifianakis. Will you see more tomorrow? I can pretty much guarantee it.

September 1, 2009
Sorry about the hiccup yesterday (in that you did not get a promised Galifianakis), it probably won't happen again. In the meantime, can I interest you in two new Zach Galifianaki?

August 28, 2009
Hey dudes, only one Zach Galifianakis today. And no more until Monday. Man, I'm just a bearer of bad news today, huh? See you Monday!

August 26, 2009
Once again I surprise even myself by updating before the sprinklers have turned on and the birds begin to sing. With two, even! You know the drill re: tomorrow.

August 25, 2009
Just one today. However! completely bucking tradition, there will be more tomorrow.

August 24, 2009
Two today. More tomorrow, at a far far far more reasonable hour. Until then!

August 23, 2009
I updated before one in the morning?! Two new Zach Galifianaki today. More tomorrow, etc.

August 22, 2009
Just one today. More tomorrow!

August 21, 2009
You thought I had forsaken you, but I have not. Be assured! There are five new Galifianakises today. More tomorrow, so make sure you're here.

August 4, 2009
Just one today. And no, you're not reading yesterday's post, it's just the same news.

August 3, 2009
Just one today. More tomorrow though!

August 1, 2009
Hey dudes, only one new Zach Galfianakis today. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? (Nothing, I am taking it off probably.) Who knows, then, what Monday will bring? (Bass-o-Matic.) See you then!

July 31, 2009
Hi again. New Zach Galifianakises up today. More tomorrow, probably. Maybe with a new comic comic? Maybe!

July 30, 2009
Hello again. I have posted nineteen new Zach Galifianakises. If you click the title of the picture you'll be taken to the relevant article, picture, or video to help you catch all of the references. As always, please let me know if you find any broken links. See you in time for the next update!

June 8, 2009
Hey everybody, if you meander over to the comics section, you'll find I've changed a couple of things around. First, YSCMAB is gone. Its single entry will be moved into MFKAP soon. More importantly, I've added a section for my new 100 situation project.
Realizing I hadn't updated in a million years, I decided to spur the ol' drawing by doing a series of 100 situations including historical and fictional events. To make it interesting, I decided to include one person in all of those situations. And, because I recently saw The Hangover, I decided Zach Galifianakis would be that person. I have six up right now, with 94 on the way. Be there!

April 27, 2009
Oh man, sorry it's been so long. That was totally lame to do. Announce weekly updates and then not update in forever. Geez.
Anyway, I have another little series in MFKAP, found in my box at work. It's pretty old and I didn't design it for the internets, so it's probably pretty hard to read. Right before that are two little drawings I did at about the same time. I really like the look of them, I'm going to have to do that more often... Head on over to the comics page and go forward from the linked comic. Next week, real updates! Probably!

April 1, 2009
Lots of new stuff today! New comic, new front page layout, and new rss feed. The links for the feed and for subscribing are at the bottom of this page. The front news page will now only be the newest two or three news postings and there is a link for the news archive at the bottom.
I'm thinking about redesigning the front page altogether, but we'll see. Check back next time!
