iPhone OS4 and the Schlock App Sunday June 27, 2010
Some of you may be having issues with the Schlock App after updating to iPhone OS4, and/or after upgrading to a new device. Ordinarily we'd use the in-app message system to push you some instructions, but the issue is hanging the app on startup. The solution? Delete the app and… Read more

An Egregious Oversight Sunday November 29, 2009
There is a footnote for Sunday's comic, but when I wrote it I only uploaded it to the queue for the iPhone app. I suppose if the app were in the Apple Store already I could have used this "mistake" as an opportunity to drive sales. But the app is… Read more

The Bonus Story is Colored! Friday August 17, 2007
I just finished coloring the last page of the Bonus Story for Schlock Mercenary: the Tub of Happiness. Yay! With luck (and a bunch of hard work) I'll be able to ship files to the printer by the end of the month. I'm shooting for a November ship date for… Read more
Boxed Set Bundle Bonus Wednesday November 3, 2010
I forgot to mention that the Boxed Set Bundle includes, while supplies last, the Strohl Munitions Plasma Cannon Activity Book. If you've already placed your order, don't worry, you're getting the bonus. If you haven't, there are only about 40 of these left . We're sold out of the coloring… Read more
Sunset Is a Pretty Word, But… Saturday April 2, 2016
When I worked in the software industry a decade ago there was this lovely term we used when a particular product or code-base was being terminated. We called it “sunset,” and that lovely, red-orange noun with its purple shading would get verbed, and we’d say we were “sunsetting” something, because that’s… Read more
Basic Training: the Acid Test Saturday January 7, 2006
Lots of you have emailed me or otherwise posted to say that you liked Schlock Mercenary Basic Training. It remains to be seen, however, whether or not brand new readers will like it. Got some spare cycles on your hands? Round up a friend who doesn't read Schlock Mercenary, and… Read more
And Now, A Bonus Story Teaser Thursday March 17, 2011
I've been getting colored bonus-story pages back from Travis, and couldn't resist sharing at least one of them with you. Behold, the Shardfleet! I took the liberty of blanking out the dialog. I wouldn't want to spoil anything. Read more

The wait is over. There is now an ad-supported version of the Schlock Mercenary app for iPhone and iPad. If you're one of the dead-sexy folks carrying an Apple device around, you can now be deadlier, sexier, and smarter than ever before at no charge. The app is right here.… Read more
These Nexus 'Droids Are Good For Us Wednesday January 6, 2010
Last August I got an iPhone, mostly to see what the big deal was. I'm pretty sure I figured it out, and I'm still loving the device. It's long since moved from "my new toy" to "how did I get by without this thing?" But I'm not an Apple fanboy,… Read more
Mobile Schlock Mercenary Update Tuesday August 2, 2011
The latest versions of the the Schlock Mercenary app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch include optional push notifications, so your device can alert you when a new strip is up or when a new blog post goes live. It's not a particularly good gauge of deployment since I am… Read more

Stay Away From BloodRayne Saturday, January 7th, 2006 I originally posted this review in full over at howardtayler.livejournal.com, but it deserves wider exposure. Yes, I went to see BloodRayne with my friend Shaggy (who happens to own the finest comics and games shop in Utah Valley). Yes, we expected it… Read more
The Beta Is Full, I Left That Post Up Too Long Tuesday November 10, 2009
The Schlock App engineer at Plus14 has more than enough beta testers now. Anybody else will just get turned away. Impatient? I think our biggest delay between now and launch will be getting it approved by Apple... Read more
Strohl Munitions Plasma Cannon Activity Book for the iPhone and iPad Sunday March 6, 2011
Gary Henson, our developer extraordinaire over at Plus 14, LTD, has done something delightful. He took the Strohl Munitions Plasma Cannon Activity Book and turned it into an iPhone and iPad coloring app. If you're looking for a diversion that doesn't involve birds, pigs, and slingshots, look no further. The… Read more
