Hi all,
This is a little bit after the fact but I was on a recorded Google + Hangout panel with a bunch of awesome comics folks for a fun discussion on what makes us all so crazy about comics and our favorite comics influences.
Check out the video below then go and read some awesome comics by my fellow panelists. 
Hi all, you may know Krishna M. Sadasivam from the webcomic PC Weenies. Krishna used to have a blog called Draw Me A Robot featuring his robot-themed illustrations.
Draw Me A Robot has just received a major overhaul and a re-launch as a blog now featuring other working cartoonists and the tools they use to make comics. The new Draw Me A Robot is live now and features Eric Merced as the first interview and me as the second! Krishna asks us 4 questions about our setups and then we draw a robot for the blog.

You have to click the navigation arrows on the sides of the images to cycle through the photos and get to the robots.
More artists are being invited all the time and will soon be appearing on Draw Me A Robot as well.
You can suggest artists to be featured next on the site or send in your own robots and tech setups to the community section.
I’ve taken the opportunity to send in a few of my own suggestions, so hopefully we’ll see even more familiar names up there.
So check it out, spread the word. I think this is a really neat theme for a blog can’t wait to see who else gets featured.
Also, here’s my robot entry:
Greetings!
Ed and I were invited on the Panelists Podcast last week, many thanks to Stephen and Kyle for having us. We were honored to join in and had a great time talking about comics, Little Guardians and our process creating the comic. The first half of the podcast, Kyle, Ed and I talked Little Guardians in my livingroom. The second half of the podcast I join Stephen over skype to talk about the role of technology in comics creation.
If you’ve never checked out their podcast before I give it my full recommendation if you’re into the nuts and bolts of creating comics. You can tell that Kyle and Stephen think about comics ALL THE TIME and put almost as much passion and effort into their discussions on the podcast as they do into creating comics themselves. You only have to browse their work to see what I mean. Check them both out, then go grab a random episode of the Panelists and really sink your teeth into comics creation.
Just a quick reminder, we are on a brief break from updates until Mid to late April, we will be back with Chapter 4. Until then, you can get into the behind the scenes of Little Guardians with this latest episode of the Panelists, and keep an eye out for some random goodies I’ll be posting to the site in the lead up to Chapter 4.
And of course if you’re in Ohio or the surrounding area come check us out at SPACE Small Press & Alternative Comics Expo, or C2E2 both coming up in April.
Little Guardians gets a nice shout out on the latest episode of Geek Life podcast over at www.Pandamanga.com. Check it out!
I’ve listened to a few episodes and it’s a fun podcast covering a huge range of geeky goodness. And our good friend Perry Alter’s comic Tale of Tamarind got the same spotlight in the episode before ours! The hosts of Geek Life seem to be as enchanted with Tama as I am so they must be good people.

My wife’s birthday fell on President’s Day this year and coincided with NBA All-Star weekend so I got this birthday/President’s Day/NBA All-Star Weekend cake. That reminds me. I don’t think I shared this awesome deliciousness she got me for my birthday last summer. It is an official Little Guardians cake.
Here are some other memorable cakes we’ve enjoyed. To celebrate a birthday and the arrival of our piano I got this piano/birthday cake. The day we learned we were having a girl I had this cake made and checked the “Girl” box right after the ultrasound. Here is an Al and Scout cake, which are my cats and have an accompanying comic strip I used to do. www.alandscout.com. Also check out this cake I got to commemorate a 5 dollar off coupon for any cake purchase. Sometimes the cake itself is the reason to have cake.
Nina update: Nina also enjoys cake but not on the level that I do.
