Good news for fans of my second strip, DRIVE: All throughout April, we're going to have two Drives a week...all thanks to the game masters at Star Pirates! See, the folks at Star Pirates are huge fans of the strip, and like so many of you -- they were jonesing for more of the story.
And when they read that I had to take time off from Drive in order to manage my obligations on Stripped and Sheldon, they had a proposal. What if they sponsored Drive for a whole month, to make sure a whole big chunk of the story could spin out? It's a brilliant idea...and guys, it's happening all throughout April.
So while you're enjoying the double-dose of DRIVE, give Star Pirates a go! It’s an in-browser space MMO you can play anywhere for free. You play as a star pirate, scratching out a living mining asteroids, raiding other players’ ships for cargo, or teaming up for fleet-on-fleet combat! There are even fleets named after factions in the Drive universe...which I've always thought was super cool!
We are having a big influx of new Drive (and probably Sheldon) enthusiasts in SP. Drop in a check us out, you need not stay. I certainly did not expect to when I followed a link from Drive a year ago.
There are plenty of other web comic fans in a nice, often surprisingly mature, community (when they aren't busy killing you or raiding your cargo). Plus: Rum and waffles.
