You Get Sprung
rapture took the Master Chief from Stuntmutt's One One Se7en and put him on his Sony Ericsson cell phone, inspiring us to make a similar image from Halo art with our Handspring Treo:
Death by intelligence.
Halo Babies To Open Sponsor Area
The new Halo Babies site was made possible by donations from the shadow government... I mean, from loyal fans of the comic. The site has now opened a special area dedicated to them in the forum.
It's So Hard To Find Good Help

Worth A Laugh Or Two
We've put up a Bungie Humor page where we've collected links to the Bungie-related comics and video series. Post a comment if we've missed one of your favorites.
Bungie Humor
The Halo-related comics scene exploded in 2003, and in 2004 is still expanding. And if you count those comics that are related to Bungie or members of the extended Bungie community, it's an even bigger phenomenon.
Here's a list of links we've compiled of Bungie-related comic sites. Several are hosted at HBO; some have their own sites.
In addition to the comics, there are two popular and well-known video series.

Hard To Balance
Halo Babies 7.0 Opens
mrsmiley has posted that the new Halo Babies site has launched, and it looks like a real treat. (For one thing, it supports RSS, which always gets appreciated here at Rampancy as that's how we keep tabs on things in the Halo community.) James "Gholsbane" Wheare did the code from scratch.
Killing Grunts Is What Flash Was Made For
On the off chance that you haven't been paying attention, longtime Halo forum denizen BOLL has been experimenting with various Flash-based pranks in the HBO forum. The latest is more than that; it's a game that puts you behind a LAAG cannon with a whole host of animated grunts to fight. Almost as addictive as Halo itself! Try it out. Thanks Louis Wu.
Making Love, Not War, In Halo
Viper tries to get Dr. Lime in a compromising position (or two) during the course of the latest Mailbag at Battleground: Halo.

Read Early, Read Often
Mr Smiley sends word that the new Halo Babies comic this week is out a bit early, since he's off to the Halo Luminaries LANfest at Louis Wu's this weekend.
Stuntmutt Celebrates 117th One One Se7en
We don't mention all the Halo comics around the web every time a new one comes out-- there are just too darn many of them, and besides, Louis Wu at HBO does a better job keeping up with them than we ever could.

Halo 2 Update, January 16, 2004 by Frankie
Lorraine has been super busy. A beautiful poster that I wish you could see*, has been created for product placement. That means that if Freddie Prinze Jr. is in a movie about teenagers or baseball, he might use that poster on his wall. We'd be disturbed but we can't control that stuff. She's also recently approved paint jobs for the new Grunt action figures. More interestingly, Lorraine is making design decisions about the new Halo 2 action figures. Not too much we can say there without revealing plot points, but they're going to be epic.
*Or you could just look at my artist's impression of it. I had to give him a lightsaber because guns are hard to draw. Lightsabers are as easy as snakes.
