Triumph of the Will

I'm pretty late to this, but here is the Conan O'Brien clip in which Triumph the Insult Comic Dog visits the San Diego Comic-Con.  You'll note that Smigel never used the interview I saw, with long-haired Joker.

While seeing Triumph deliver his insults on TV can seem mean, watching the filming reveals that Smigel himself tempers that -- you can't see his face, but he's smiling and chuckling through the whole thing.

And I think I happened to see his last interview of the day.  After he wrapped up, he stood around posing for pictures, signing things, and kidding around with everyone.  For a long time.  I watched for a while, walked away, talked to some friends, and when I walked by later, Smigel was still there.

This Week's Comic: Lucky Ducky!

This week's comic.

I wrote and pencilled this strip before my trip to the west coast, where I was in LA for the 5.8 mag earthquake.  The weird thing is, I didn't feel a thing.  I had to be told that an earthquake had just occurred.  I'm either the most oblivious person alive (quite likely, actually), or Californians are a bunch of wimps, crying about these events that a New Yorker doesn't even notice.

Last Week's Comic...

I was travelling last week, and so didn't provide the all-important link.

Poor Louis.
