Earlier this year I attended BYU’s science fiction and fantasy symposium, Life, the Universe and Everything (aka LTUE.) While there, I got to hear Howard Tayler speak about life as a webcomic artist/writer. I started reading his webcomic, Schlock Mercenary, and found it to be hilariously entertaining. It’s the story of a bunch of space mercenaries, including Sergeant Schlock, a shapechanging blob who stores weapons in his mouth.
Schlock Mercenary is one of my daily reads, and if you like humorous SF, I suggest you give it a try.
Today’s strip is the 2000th consecutive daily strip Howard has published. And all of them — going back to June 12, 2000 — are available online.
Congratulations, Howard.
