I was the recipient of the Comic Geek Speak Super Show 2010 Lem Fasnacht “Spirit of Comics” Award this weekend for spreading the love of comics to the people. It was announced during their live recording towards the end of the show on Saturday.

It’s quite the honor, and I had no idea that I was even a nominee. I am extremely thankful and humbled by this. It’s the equivalent of receiving an Eisner award to me. Thank you to Bryan, Peter, Adam, Matt, Jamie, Shane, Kevin, and Pants of Comic Geek Speak for this award. If it wasn’t for them I probably wouldn’t be reading or making comics right now. Thank you, gents.

I guess that means I need to keep writing these comics, huh? LOL.

But I know I didn’t earn this award on my own; Chad Cicconi, Andrew Charipar, Daniel Logan, Dave Dwonch, Jim Miller, Julian Lytle, 3!LL Blankenship, Andy Jewett, Scott Bradley, Harold Jennett, Dean Stahl, Martheus Wade, Flint Lockjaw, Dave Watcher, Donny Salvo, Jon Carroll, Jason Grice, Adam Umak, etc. Without their contributions, there would be no PKD Comics, Podcasts, and PKD Media.

I’ll do my best to keep the spirit of comics flowing. Word.

Thanks for all the love and support people. It truly keeps me going.

Sincerely,

Shawn Pryor aka Stan Leeroy.

It’s here that we get to know a little more about Beck Mercury. He’s dealt with a lot of loss in his life, and his hatred of the “Teflon-Toy Don” known as Mr. D continues to grow with every single day.

How will this effect Beck in the long run? You’ll have to keep reading in order to find out.

A fresh episode of “The PKD Black Box” should post today, no later than tomorrow. Enjoy.

Peace.

Who kept a photo of Beck during his childhood in a lightsaber duel?

Speaking of lightsabers, do kids still have lightsaber fights or do they just duke it out online? They need to go outside and break a sweat.

More Mercury & The Murd to come tomorrow.

-Shawn

That’s harsh.

Wednesday brings us a fresh Exo-1 & the Rock Solid Steelbots to peep. And be on the lookout for “The PKD Black Box” podcast this Wednesday.

Until then, tell a friend about us and pass it along. Peace.

-Shawn

As you can tell, the relationship issues between Murd & Lori has taken its toll on Beck, who’s always in the middle of it all.

More Mercury & The Murd to post tomorrow. Peace.

-Shawn

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present to you…Katie Cook!

Katie’s work has been featured on Star Wars: The Clone Wars webcomic, Dark Horse Presents, and sketchards for Rittenhouse, Upper Deck, & Topps.

I was completely floored by her Mercury & The Murd Sketch (see above). We’ve had some quality artists work on Mercury & The Murd, and I consider us here at PKD Media lucky to have Katie’s rendition of our buddy-cop duo for the world to see.

I had my first opportunity to meet Katie Cook at the 2008 Pittsburgh Comicon while she was sketching at the Comic Geek Speak booth. She’s an absolute delight to talk to, and her artistic style is one of my faves. I have a Lando Calrissian sketch that she did for me which I hope to post on our site soon.

You can visit her website http://katiecandraw.typepad.com/ To see the numbers of projects she’s been working on, sketchcards for Rittenhouse and Star Wars, various sketches, tips on how to save your “prismacolor” markers and pictures of her pets as they attempt to take over the household.

Check your 2010 convention schedule and make sure you get a Katie Cook sketch. One day we’ll get an actual interview with Katie to post or maybe even for the “PKD Black Box” podcast. We’ll see. One day.

Until then, go check out http://katiecandraw.typepad.com/ and enjoy.

Remember, there’s more comics action tomorrow with “Agents of C.O.L.T.”, followed by Luke Foster’s “The Gang From The Store” during the weekend. Peace.

-Shawn

Starting next week I’m going to fill out the other areas on the site that are still blank or don’t have the proper information. We’re almost to where we need to be. Just be patient with us here at PKD Media.

As always, hope you’re enjoying the strip. See you Friday!

Surrounded by Ninjas, at a time like this one does not need to deal with someone’s “quirks.”

But, that’s the whole point of the Buddy-Cop Comedy. You have to be able to work through the quirks in order to get the job done.

Hopefully the “Brother with the Badge” and the “Man with the Muttonchops” survive this ordeal.

Don’t forget to swing by and visit “Space-Time Condo” by Dave Dwonch, the gent who provided the artwork for Chapter 2.

Come back around on Monday! Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend. Peace & good times.
