ROCK OUT! Diesel Sweeties to be a newpaper comic, too.

This just in: on January eighth, Maura, Clango, Red Robot C-63, Indie Rock Pete and all the rest will join Marmaduke, Opus, Frazz, and the Wizard of Id in the ominously named United Features Syndicate. That means internet hero R Stevens, author and artist of the megapixelated Diesel Sweeties will be making actual, factual sunday funnies. This is awesomeness incarnate! Here's one of my favorite panels:

R Stevens is also a tshirt genius (his shirt is featured in the new James Kochalka video), and he's called me a rock star in his own handwriting. I ought to mention that as well.



Red Robot agrees to the good news! His "agreement" face is very similar to his "about to crush humans" face. Be aware.
