In 2005, while part of the comic collective Blank Label Comics, Straub and Dave Kellett co-hosted the Blank Label Comics Podcast. The podcast interviewed fellow webcomic creators about their comics and creative process.
The comic initially ran under the name Starshift Crisis. The nearly identical Starslip Crisis appeared early in the strip’s run, with its own website and associated content, differing only in that the term “starslip” replaced “starshift”. The two ran in parallel, until a strip in August 2005 which definitively ended the plot of Starshift Crisis, but which played out differently in Starslip Crisis. Reportedly the name change was caused by a legal issue.
He’s runs a Dungeons and Dragons stream with his sister.
