HTE will be tabling at the Portland Comics Expo's Artist Alley in Portland, ME tomorrow, Sunday Oct. 26th! Come by to pick up copies of Dysphoria #1 and #2 and meet our artist and writer!

'O Captain, my Captain.' Who knows where that comes from? Anybody? Not a clue? It's from a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Now in this class, you can either call me Mr. Keating, or if you're slightly more daring, O Captain, my Captain. Now let me dispel a few rumors so they don't fester into facts. Yes, I too attended Hell-ton and survived. And no, at that time I was not the mental giant you see before you. I was the intellectual equivalent of a ninety-eight pound weakling. I would go to the beach and people would kick copies of Byron in my face....

'Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.' The Latin term for that sentiment is Carpe Diem. Now who knows what that means?...Seize the day. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may. Why does the writer use these lines?...Because we are food for worms, lads. Because, believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is one day gonna stop breathing, turn cold, and die.

Now I would like you to step forward over here and peruse some of the faces from the past. You've walked past them many times. I don't think you've really looked at them. They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you. Their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen. Do you hear it? (whispering in a gruff voice) Carpe. Hear it? (whispering) Carpe. Carpe Diem. Seize the day boys. Make your lives extraordinary.

Rest in peace, you wonderful and talented man. The world was better having you in it, and you've taught generations how to laugh, live, and love.

Holy webcomic, Batman!

We're celebrating! It's been almost a year now since we launched Dysphoria's webcomic prologue, and we've come a long way since then. As we look forward to the printing of the Dysphoria #1 and some moves HTE is making in the digital world, we're rediscovering our roots and re-releasing the webcomic prequel on your favorite webcomic hosting sites! Starting this week, two pages of DYSPHORIA: Prequel will be released per week, leading up to brand new content for the webcomic coming this Fall. The webcomic will still be archived on our website at www.hollowtreecomics.com. Read where it all began on Comic Fury, The Duck, or Smackjeeves: Comic Fury: http://dysphoria-prequel.thecomicseries.com/ The Duck: http://theduckwebcomics.com/DYSPHORIA_Prequel/ Smackjeeves: http://dysphoria-prequel.smackjeeves.com/
