Hopefully you aren’t tired of Halloween yet because I thought I’d share the pumpkin that i carved of Jeff. Well… The concept was actually “Frankenstein Jeff”, or Jeff dressed as Frankedstein for Halloween. I intended to post this closer to Halloween but this week’s comic was already late enough and I didn’t get a chance. Anyway here it is!
Last year I carved an Andy pumpkin. You may have seen this on my Flickr page before but I thought I’d post it here in case you missed it. Although I hadn’t even launched the comic at the time I was already planning to so I decided to carve him anyway.
Steve Carrel has a funny story about his daughter’s lemonade stand in this video. Andy is considering moving to Los Angeles.
I never actually ran a lemonade stand as a child so I’m making Lemon Inc. up out of whole cloth. Anyone else have any funny stories about running a lemonade stand?
Kurt Sasso of the podcast TGT Webcomics was kind enough to do a spotlight on Lemon Inc. on his website! Go read it and while you’re there you should try listening to the podcast where he interviews various webcomic authors. I’m a fan.
Hey guys! I intend to make some Lemon Inc. desktops and buddy icons for you to download. Old desktops will be stored in the extras page. This is the first desktop based on this comic. If you’re not sure which one to choose go here. If you want one in a different resolutions just contact me.
I-Phone sized. Also good for a Blackberry Storm. (Edit: apparently it is very important to some people that I mention that this wallpaper is also appropriate for a Palm Pre, which, is the best phone ever and everyone should own one).
I recently received Amulet Book 2: The Stonekeeper’s Curse, (the second book in a fantasy graphic novel series by Kazu Kibuishi), and Flight Volume 6, (the sixth in a series of anthologies edited by Kibuishi), in the mail. These are both fantastic, amazingly illustrated books.
I remember when I read the first Amulet book I was blown away by the art but wasn’t really sure what to think of the writing. The second book delves deeper into the story and shows that Kibuishi has a truly epic story planned. This book definitely tops the first one both in terms of the art and the writing.
As always Flight 6 contains a collection of beautiful, imaginative stories. I’ve never really been able to dicern an overall theme for the stories besides the great amount of imagination found in each one. This isn’t a bad thing but it does mean that there might be the occasional story that, while well done, may not cater to your tastes. Of course this is true of any anythology. My personal favorite story in this volume was “The Excitingly Mundane Life of Kenneth Shuri” by JP Ahonen which is a very clever and funny story about a ninja.
On a side note: I had originally intended to blog every week. I figured that once I got the website running I would blog all the time. This is not true. I have been trying to be as consistent as possible in terms of updating the comic which is, obviously, more important than the blog but I realised that in the process I neglected the blog thoughout August. From now on I intend to try to blog more often but I can’t promise that this will happen. If it gets in the way of me updating the comic itself then I will have to put it off.
Lemon Inc. is a weekly webcomic by Tim Lai about a bunch of kids that run a lemonade stand like it's an office. Updates on Tuesdays. For more information visit the About page, or meet the cast.
