Believe it or not, Crashlander was one of the first comic strips on the web way (I mean waaaay) back in 1997 (going by the name Pet Alien). It had a loud and probably annoying Flash site with a looping sample ripped shamelessly from a De La Soul track. It was a different time. Then the characters appeared in a series of e-greeting cards for which I actually got paid for (the one where Spork farted in space was egreetings.com most sent card one month. Art.) Next, the strip got reprinted in Japan in a magazine called SOTOKOTO. I stopped uploading new strips until 2005 when I contributed full page Crashlander strips to a game fanzine called Blessed in the UK. That got me a gig supplying a Sunday-style strip in Edge magazine, which I did for five years. Then when I moved from the UK to the US I was able to get Crashlander set up as an animated show at Amazon Studios. My luck was turning around! Naturally they pivoted to adult animation right when I was getting developed, so thanks a bunch Invincible.
Now it's 2026 and we're all lucky to be alive, frankly. I thought - what with website visits a thing of the past and internet traffic at its all-time lowest point - now would be the perfect time to bring back my webcomic. I predict absolutely nothing can go wrong. So in the parlance of our times, get "locked in", sit forward at a ninety degree angle, and get ready from some new strips. *dramatic lightning strike*
