Thought I should mention how much I am glad to see the pig back in action. The coloring is great, can't wait for the new pages.

I'll take my SP Wallpaper "extra sexy" please... mmm, scrumptious.

Great job with the coloring of S.P., Chad. It looks great.

Re: Sophisticated Pig
Great first page! Will all the old archives be available on the new site?

	[ Posted by thechad on Mar 13th, 2007 3:20 PM ]... Thanks, dude. The archives will be available eventually. This is more of a re-releasing of the old pages except now they're all colored. Once all the old pages run out then I'll be picking up the story from there with brand spankin' new pages. =)
	[ Posted by Jonesey on Mar 13th, 2007 3:57 PM ]... Oh, I didn't realize that was an old page. It looks really great with the colour. I look forward to more!

	[ Posted by thechad on Feb 9th, 2007 3:14 PM ]... Nice. But that's the LAST time I draw you naked.
	[ Posted by wiz_rollins on Feb 9th, 2007 4:07 PM ]... I love the attention to detail... you even went so far as to add just a hint of balls. How close were you to the screen when you were coloring that, Chad? Hmm? How close?
	[ Posted by thechad on Feb 9th, 2007 4:14 PM ]... My screen actually malfunctioned because of how close I was. My warranty couldn't cover it because of the 'watery substance' Applecare found at the rim of the screen. ...I did it for art.

RE: Pet Professional: Two Year Anniversary!
Very cool montage image, Chad! You're doing fantastic work over on PP - the art and the colors are really working beautifully. Keep it up, man!

Congrats to you and Jason-- TWO YEARS ain't nothing to sneeze at!

A Guest Strip gallery? Niiiiiiiice idea. I'd never seen that Mutliplex strip before-- hilarious!

That homeless dude on your blog is totally thinking... "I'm gonna EAT those titties."

Hey Chad! You're doing a wicked job with Pet Pro. Keep it up man, you're on fire!!

	[ Posted by thechad on Jan 27th, 2007 1:02 PM ]... Thanks, Krishna. Hey, do you use a tablet to ink your stuff?
	[ Posted by pcweenies on Jan 27th, 2007 2:23 PM ]... hey Chad, yeah - I use an Intuos 3 tablet to digitally ink the PCW.
	[ Posted by thechad on Jan 28th, 2007 10:21 PM ]... Right on. Very clean. I just started using a 4 x 5 Graphire. Now, I can't imagine not using it.

Hey Chad! Great to see you on here! You're doing great with Pet Pro!

[ Posted by wiz_rollins on Jan 22nd, 2007 5:01 PM ]...

Yo. Should have Sophisticated Pig fully up and running again by the end of the week... as for UPDATING it, well... ;)

	[ Posted by thechad on Jan 15th, 2007 5:30 AM ]... Thank you! Same to you guys. Holy sweet jesus it's good. Hey, Jason and I are planning on getting a table at SD this year, you gonna be there again?
	[ Posted by combustibleorange on Jan 15th, 2007 6:44 AM ]... Not this year. I'm only doing one con in New Zealand this year, unless some of the Australian conventions bring me out (or Bomb Shelter gets bought by a corporation and they fly me out).
	[ Posted by thechad on Jan 15th, 2007 2:34 PM ]... Yeah, that's gonna happen soon. BOMB SHELTER COMICS Presented by: Nike "Because comic geeks need shoes too." I'll have to work on that one. I still think it's funny that Liz hated my guts for some reason. You ever hear why?

[ Posted by bat_blog on Jan 8th, 2007 9:53 PM ]...

THANX FOR THE ADD! I rememebr reading the PET PROFESSIONAL & really enjoying it. Didn't you have a real-life run-in with PETA about how anmals were killed? I'll have to go read the strips i missed while ebing busy & all. i think I 1st found out about it thru PVP. If you're a BATMAN FAN then I want to invite you to check out the BAT-BLOG webpage!

[ Posted by thechad on Jan 15th, 2007 5:33 AM ]... No, no run in with PETA. Maybe that was one of the previous artists. Your Bat-Blog has basically everything, man. Good stuff!

[ Posted by VGML on Jan 14th, 2007 5:32 AM ]...

Hey dude, long time no see/talk/whatever you call internet communication. How's pet professional treating you?

[ Posted by thechad on Jan 15th, 2007 5:29 AM ]... It's going good. I'm actually drawing with my tablet now. So the art I think has been improving. How have you been? Marbles is still great as usual BUT I want my fix, man. New Marbles needed ASAP!

[ Posted by ExtraLife on Jan 14th, 2007 12:32 PM ]...

Thanks for the add! Great stuff here!
