So I did it, you guys. I went into the hospital and said “Give me the best surgery you got.” So they took out my gall bladder, and threw in a bonus hernia repair. Apparently it was worse than previously realized! I forgot to tell the surgeon about it until the last moment, but let’s [...]

Hey guys, I didn’t realize it, but my address ronnie@whompcomic.com wasn’t working for a while. If I didn’t respond to your e-mail, that was why. I’m going to spend the next day responding to every message I missed in the last few months. Sorry about that, we’re getting it fixed right away!

So, I’ve enjoyed Harvest Moon for a long time. I started at the SNES version and naturally worked upward from there. Currently I’m playing the 3DS version “A New Beginning,” but more on that later. If you’ve never heard of Harvest Moon, it’s basically about running a farm. Planting crops, tending animals, selling products, and [...]

Update: A second part of the Volume 2 shipment is on its way. If you already ordered one, yours will not be delayed. Just got one more limited run of books in stock. While I will be getting a full print run later, this will be the last time you can get Volume 1 or [...]

Update: A few people may experience a delay of a few days as I try and get all the orders sketched in and mailed out. Update 2: Volume 2 is now back out of stock. Still gonna get more books in later, so don’t fret! (I can’t disable the button in the store right now, [...]

Just felt like sharing with you a couple of dishes I have adjusted to my taste and lifestyle health choices. Ronnie’s Brown Chili I came up with this out of what was, apparently, an overactive imagination. When I was a teenager, I said to my mom, “Could you make that chili you used to make [...]

Hey ladies and also fellas! The full-color second volume of “Whomp!” is now in the store, and a new shipment of the black & white volume 1 is in stock as well. GO NUTS!

Hey guys! I’m working on Volume 2 of Whomp! right now and wanted to let you know. It will be full-color with over 100 pages of comics (every comic that wasn’t in Volume 1). Also, I’ll place an order for a new shipment of Volume 1 at the same time as Volume 2, so new [...]

Today’s comic is by my good friend Firman who does an amazing comic called Moe. What’s more amazing is his eye for art style. He’s one of my favorite artists today. So when he did this comic, he never even hinted at it being a guest comic — just a gift for the world with [...]

Today’s comic not enough? BONUS COMIC!

Every year, the wonderful Child’s Play charity created by the venerable denizens of Penny-Arcade raises MILLIONS of dollars to give games and cash to children’s hospitals around the world. Every bit of it brings joy to children who are bound to hospitals some or all of the time. On February 16th, 2012 at 9PM PST [...]

There’s really no need to review Skyrim. Everyone’s reviewed it, everyone’s recording themselves playing it and putting it on Youtube, everyone’s making funny videos of the glitches and command line exploits, everyone’s complaining about the bugs (which are pretty darn bad for the people who have them), everyone’s talking about Famitsu’s perfect score — a [...]

I’m super happy to announce the first volume of Whomp! in print. It’s 121 pages, black and white inside (since most of the comics were black & white already. Next year’s book will probably be in color.) You can see preview images over at the store. You can either buy the regular edition now (a [...]

(CLICK TO MAKE BIG. GO ON. DO IT.)

The great Fletcher of the comic “Antics” has let me do for him a guest comic! You can head over there right now and see it. http://www.anticscomic.com/?p=974 Thanks so much for letting me do that, Fletcher!

I want you to forgive me any time I go long times without writing a blog post. I only update it when I really feel like I have something to say, and forcing topics isn’t conducive to sincere writing. If someone has a question, they can write me, and if I feel like my whole [...]

So, everyone’s pretty stoked about the end of the world coming today.  I didn’t make a comic about it myself, but my friend Sal over at the Penny-Arcade forums made a guest comic, and it pleases me greatly. Ronnie I made you a rapture-themed guest comic (click image to enlarge)

This letter is to the Ronnie of 10 years ago, and everyone like him. Please don’t feel discouraged or insulted by anything said below. In fact, I hope it encourages you to follow your dreams. Many of you who read this are creators. Heck, most people have a desire to create something. We all have [...]

Holy poop guys. I’ve gotten over 37,000 hits in like the last 9 hours. (You guys are awesome.) The website has been going down for that reason though, so I’m looking for a new service now to handle this. Sorry! We will continue to update three times a week come hail or high water.

So, I’ve always been a big fan of classic animation. Heck, it was the first kind of motion picture in the form of flipbooks and Zoetropes long before cameras were invented. Getting in touch with my love of cartoons and cartooning, I’ve made a lot of friends over in the Artist’s Corner in the Penny-Arcade.com [...]

I got this in an e-mail (rather, my spam filter caught it.) I can’t believe my good fortune! (This is real and verbatim other than my editor’s notes.) Assalam Alaikoum, Dear Sir, Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you, I know this message will sounds very strange [...]

But I’m not that excited. I have always had a head for science, but for some reason, I’m super apathetic about a life form that can use arsenic in the place of phosphorus in its genetic make-up. I guess I’m a little news-numbed from the last couple of decades or so. They always speak of [...]

So, I’ve intended on doing a review of Fallout: New Vegas for a while. Obviously, there are a lot of reviews out there already, but I’d like to give my own perspective, if you’ll allow me. Pre-Summary: Buy it. When it started, I had crashing problems, but I found out it was my computer’s fault, [...]
