Glitch Fixin'!

Okay, the updater seems to have fixed everything but #3875, and I rebuilt that. (From artisanal, handmade electrons, no less. Nothing but the best for you lot!)

Looks like it's all back in sh...

Animated TWB!

Okay, kind of. :)

Monday's strip was very time-consuming, but I had a lot of fun with it. Thought you ladies and gents might be interested to see how a panel like that goes together. :)

High Armor Class

And finished! If we go by typical WoW or RPG stats, she's now basically invulnerable. :)

Spent way too much time on it, and at a time when I have pretty full lists o...

Work in progress...

Oddly enough, making a "revealing tactical vest" is harder than it looks. :)

Since I'm going to be drawing it a lot in the next few weeks, I thought I'd try a couple different sketches- Pirta...

Missed a strip!

I'd originally planned- in a really vague way- this storyline at least two or three years ago. Back in '21, I even started drawing a few strips, though only the first half dozen or so.

I've b...

The return of the Omniturn!

After posting the most recent Turret video, I was asked if I had the Omniturn back up and running. I'd posted some still pics of parts from it a few days back on the Guild, but as I was running mor...

More Machining!

Since I posted that other turret-lathe video, I figured you ladies and gents might like to see the "other half" of the part.

Tried to be a little more detailed with the editing, to give a bet...

TWB Mobile?

This is something I've been meaning to tinker with for a good while now. I had a bit of a "you better stop and think" moment in the shop today, and decided to spend some time tinkering with the upc...

The Turret Lathe Saves the Day!

I was going to run some parts through my CNC lathe this weekend, and found the power supply for the computer had died.

While waiting for a replacement, I instead tooled up the pre-World-War-2...

Too good to pass up...

Mark Stanley of Freefall suggested this. Too good a gag to pass up, even as short on time as I am. :)

Doc.

Fair Warning...

I'm up against a couple of heavy deadlines and major "can't put it off any more" things at the moment, and I'm so short on time it ain't even funny.

The comic is probably going to be pretty e...

Restoring an early custom marker

Customer sent this in, it was the first gun he ever played with, and he got it from a now-deceased uncle. It had lain disassembled long enough the O-rings had basically crumbled to dust, and he wan...

Vintage TWB!

I found these in one of my older folders. It was supposed to be the start of a short storyline, involving Jake trying to teach her how to ride it, her buying stereotypical "biker" clothes (leather ...

Twenty-Five Years as Alaska's coolest Airsmith!

I would like to take a moment to recognize- and perhaps brag a a bit- that July 1st, 2023 officially marks my Twenty-Fifth Year in business! :)

I had kind of hoped to have so...

Officially old!

TWB, as of last week, is now officially old enough to drink! :)

The first posted comic says June 18th of '02, but as I recall, the first comic was posted to the Guild on the 21st. &n...

From the waaaaay-back machine!

I was looking for some shop pictures from way back- actually before I even launched this biz, let alone TWB :) - and happened across this.

Longtime readers have probably seen it under the "Sk...

Blast from the past, part 2

Found something interesting in an old art folder. Way back when I first launched this account, I took this pic from an old T-shirt run we did back in '04 or '05, and redrew it.

I'd started on...

Doc's Overbuilt Hex Wrench Racks!

Constructive criticism welcome!

Sketchin'!

Needed to do some sketching today, and decided I'd do up a video of it.

... I really was hoping it'd be better. :)

Ever since I switched to doing the strip entirely digitally, my pen-an...

We Won!

Thanks to you lot (and all my readers in general :) ) we won both categories in the Ursa Major Awards!

There's no cash pri...

Alternate-alternate future...

Canonically, there are no hybrids in TWB, so couples like Howie and Cassie, and Jake and Pirta, can't have kids. But, several years ago, a reader suggested, if they could, a potential offspring of ...

Minor glitch...

The scheduler for TWB is currently being migrated off a 'cloud' server and onto a private one. There may be minor issues, please stand by.

Currently, Monday's comic links back to 2003, becaus...

Motivation!

And another old Doc-sketch from the archives. (Done discreetly at a buddy's office. :) )

An old sketch...

I drew this, as the date shows, a while back, during a large multi family dinner gathering. The host liked it so much they put it into a photo frame and hung it up.

I saw it again a few years...

Name Change!

At least as far as this Patreon is concerned, DocsMachine is now TheWhiteboard! :)

Why? I'm separating the two sides a bit more- again, only as far as Patreon is concerned. I'm hoping to gain...

Sketch Challenge

I've started to realize that, since going pretty much fully digital on the comic, my sketching skills have deteriorated rather badly. I find myself slapping down some crappy linework, and then spen...

Saturday Preview!

A bit of behind-the-scenes on what a TWB strip looks like in the early stages.
