Hey guys, what’s the haps?

There’s a lot for me to talk about, but I’m wondering if I should try to space it out more, rather than lump it all into a big State of the Union post like I usually do. We’ll play it by ear.

First up, new Spoilers!

Chapter 18: What Will Become of Us?

Hope you guys enjoy, but even more I hope that all the people who said that you had no idea what was going on are starting to see things coming together. Still don’t? Let me know! I love hearing feedback about this comic, I want to make it the best it can be.

Virginia

Part of the reason I’ve been leaving this spot empty for a while is because I’ve been traveling. I made a surprise visit to my home town in Alexandria VA to commemorate my birthday (25), my parent’s anniversary (28?), and then mother’s day. I had a good time hanging out with my brother and the venerable Liz Saburbi who both reside in that state where there ain’t shit to do.

One of the highlights of that short trip, besides getting a harmonica from the ole’ brother, was a trip to the wonderful Fairfax location of the Laughing Ogre. I have been to few comics shops as well stocked as this one, and certainly none with more helpful staff (Liz works here). Lots of great stuff, it was a shame we got there so close to closing time because there was just so much to check out. I walked away with the newest Rasl and all the King City books they had in stock (I think two). Also interesting was how close the store was to my boyhood home, which brought a lot of nostalgic feelings back for my brother, but not so many for me — must have been too young.

There’s so much more to write, but I think I’m gonna wrap it up here, cuz I want to update my Art of Comics blog. I just wanted to shout out some things before we speak again:

PARAGON FISHING RETURNS

My brother (and UnFan’s) old comic strip is back from the dead! Check it out here, now.

IN MAPS AND LEGENDS RETURNS

Cleveland comics compatriot Niki Smith and her writing partner Michael Jasper have finally been let loose onto the world of Zuda with new pages of their fantastical comic strip. Read them every Thursday here!

SACRED HEART KEEPS GOING

And Lizzy Burberry is showing no signs of fatigue in her polished high school epic, updating frequently over at her livejournal

Ok, so more in a couple days, including my trip to Boston and the return of my teaching career.

Tootles!
