Kris Straub - 640

Desert Bus is excited to welcome back Kris Straub who will be joining us at 2pm PST on Saturday, November 16.

Kris Straub is a writer, webcartoonist, podcaster, and a generally busy guy. He is the creator of chainsawsuit, Checkerboard Nightmare, Starslip, and F Cords, and BroodHollow. Kris is the co-founder of the webcomics collectives Blank Label Comics and Halfpixel.

Kris launched his first comic, the self-aware metacomedy Checkerboard Nightmare, in 2000. The strip was originally a satirical look at the world of webcomics, but quickly branched out when the strip moved to Keenspot (it would later move to Blank Label Comics after its founding and then, finally, to Comixpedia in 2006). In 2005, Kris created the daily science fiction comedy Starslip, which ran until its conclusion in 2012. His currently running series are chainsawsuit, a fantastic daily comedy strip, and BroodHollow, a sister piece to the horror site Ichor Falls.

In 2006, Kris became co-writer and co-producer of PvP: The Series, alongside Scott Kurtz. From there, he and Scott went on to create two more shows: Blamimation and Kris and Scott’s Scott and Kris Show. Both shows air on Penny Arcade’s PATV web video site. A third series, Mappy: The Beat, is in production. Kris is also hosts chainsawsuit the podcast with Mikey Neumann. He is also the creator of the awesome creepypasta Candle Cove, which you should really check out if you’re into spooky stuff.

Post your questions for Kris in the comments on this post.

  9. Heyo Kris!
    Ever consider swinging by the other side of Australia sometime? I went over to Melbourne just to catch the symphony so I could see Straub live, kinda pricey for me to flyover again though :( I swear, there is probably an attraction of some kind over here. I think. Maybe?
