Here’s a draft of some panels from the long piece in Book 11. Alison emailed them to me yesterday. She asked me to snap a few pictures like this of me and my car, and email them to her so she could see what this would look like in real life.

I’m not really sure who these characters are, but I guess we drive the same kind of car. Perhaps they’ll end up looking a bit like me in the final version. FYI, this mode of support is sadly not tip-of-the- nibb-able.

I snapped a picture of AB when she went out to feed the birds this afternoon. She said it was the first time she had left the house all day. No, she’s not sick–merely chained to her drawing board in the basement working on DTWOF #11 and her super secret, nearly complete graphic novel.

Okay. I know blogs are an amazing new paradigm and all that, but there’s one thing I don’t get. Who has time to read them? I mean, no offense, but don’t you have something more important you should be doing right now? I don’t even have time to read THIS blog, let alone make newsworthy entries to it. In case you haven’t noticed.

But here’s something. Diane DiMassa just sent me…well, sent my cat, her new zine “Chicken Rules” and it’s frickin’ brilliant. Here we are reading it. (See how EXTREMELY busy I am?) All people who live with a cat should purchase it immediately.
