Have you seen my new video yet? If not, here it is. "This Dog Is Awesome."
"Dog Traders" is the name I release music under, since too many people have used "Drew" as their artist name for me to be able to do so without confusion. I made the music on "This Dog Is Awesome" and as the months drag by, I will be posting some more videos with my music on them... but if you need to listen to more of it now, check out that sidebar to the left. Scroll down. To where it says "MUSIC BY DREW." There. I have a few albums up on Amazon and iTunes, and I've put the three most popular albums right on the sidebar to make them easier to find.
Here are some more WHERE ARE THE DOGS HUMPING comics. Three of them, in fact. Click on the comic below to see the rest of the new ones.
Did you notice that I am wearing all the shirts in the new Sharing Machine store? I am.
Our developer is still hard at work, finishing up some stuff on the servers, and then we'll start rolling out some new features, and make TFD/ND/MTTS/WATDH easier to read and use. Speaking of WATDH... do you want some more comics? It's been a couple weeks since I put some up.
Three new comics at WATDH behind the link. Happy labor day.

Have you checked out the new store yet? We have t-shirts from Toothpaste For Dinner, Natalie Dee, and Married To The Sea. We also have some Married To The Sea prints, if you're not a t-shirt kind of person.
For a long, long time, Natalie and I shipped everything ourselves, from our offices in Columbus, Ohio. Earlier this year, we reached our breaking point. There are only so many hours in the day. It took us four months and a long list of third-party vendors/suppliers to come to our present arrangement, which is an awesome printer in Dayton combined with an awesome warehouse in Pittsburgh who stores and ships all our merchandise. If you order from the new Sharing Machine store they'll ship your merchandise within two days, and you'll get it within a week if you're in the USA. (Back when we shipped everything ourselves, it was more like 2-3 weeks. International shipments used to take 8-10 weeks and now they take 2-4. Canadians may even get their shirts within 10 days. Amazing!)
You may also notice that t-shirts are slightly cheaper. This is because, in the four months when our store was closed and we were crapping out thousands of bucks to keep our sites online, we managed to find a printer here in Ohio who gives us a better deal and prints better shirts than "Standard Webcomic T-Shirt Guy". If you buy three shirts, they're $13 each, and you'll get 'em in a week. The shirts are a much better quality, with softer inks, and heat-treatment to fuse the ink into the shirts. (It's the same process that some of the giant corporate stores in town use to print their shirts, which they sell for way more.)
Anyway, as you can see, the comics have not stopped. We've been paying for the servers out of our own pockets during May/June/July/August (and we paid our new PHP/SQL coder to set up our new servers and code our store too!) Since we don't run advertisements, the t-shirt store is our only source of income. We usually manage to keep everything running on the 0.1% of the readers that buy even one piece of merchandise, so if you have bought something from us in the past, thanks, and if you haven't, at least humor me by flipping through the new Sharing Machine site.
Also, after four months, our new store is open. We have four new Natalie Dee shirts, one new MTTS shirt, and 21 new MTTS prints in the store right now. Big thanks to our beta testers, who rigorously tested our new store and fulfillment warehouse.
