A nice day at the beach with the Fail Whale and some Tumbeasts

Last week was crazy apeshit bananas. First, I launched my State of the Web comic where I requested that Tumblr used my TumblBeasts as a down time mascot. Four hours later I got an email from the founder of Tumblr, and subsequently my TumblBeasts became the new Tumblr 503 error page. They renamed them from TumblBeasts to Tumbeasts (I preferred TumblBeasts) and they now stand as the face of server failure on the Tumblr network.
After that, it got picked up by ReadWriteWeb, Mashable, Business Insider, and CNN. Crazy apeshit bananas?
I THINK YES!

It is a most joyous day to be a cartoonist.

Live in Washington State? Want Oatmeal stuff before Christmas?

My sister owns a used bookstore in Marysville, Washington that is now selling Oatmeal merchandise, so if you didn't buy your stuff in time to be shipped before Christmas or you're local and you want to save on shipping, you can drop in and buy it directly. The store is about 30 miles north of Seattle and has used books, coffee, pastries, and one or more of my grumpy family members. They've got a ready supply of Oatmeal shirts, stickers, mugs, and posters.

Don't live in Washington state?

If you don't live nearby, then this blog post has nothing to do with you and I apologize. If you've read this far, however, I'd like to reward your persistence with this fine picture:
