Good evening.

What? Even when I’m low-key pestering you for Vol II already?

A fine read, on page or screen. I tell you what it is, old sport. @danschkade.bsky.social's Webtoon series is chalkablock with wit, style, and heart like the best and rarest of adventure comics. Now Dan's reformatted the first season as Vol I in print. All I can say is, Vol II post haste!

I'm sure that if we got to know Judge Mortis better, he'd be less completely creepy. Right?

Get yourself transported to the world of AFAR, with the new volume SERPENTINE, written, drawn, and colored by my ridiculously talented colleague @leiladelduca.bsky.social. Last day in the campaign! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lei...

Just fantastic work, as always, Chris. Inspiring!

Sadly, not a new super group, awesome as that would be. But, three of my absolute favorite musicians who all made it to the PWN for shows this spring. Unbeatable music trifecta for me.

Hey-- happy birthday to Patrick Carney, the thumpy part of the musical 'brothers' duo The Black Keys!

Memo to Waid @markwaid.bsky.social and Samnee @chrissamnee.bsky.social

Gentlemen,

More.

Cordially,

I’m beyond words to express the pride and gratitude I feel at being a part of this extraordinary group of fine humans and gifted artist comrades for so long. Happy Birthday, Helioscope!

Yeah, I was really, really mad at Lucy in that first shot. We're good now. No, really.

I've just finished writing drawing and lettering a 200 PAGE BOOK for people who love the original LILO & STITCH as much as I do. Please Get it!

Seems the right day to spin this one...

Need a website designed or updated?

My good friend Diane just pumped up my ancient Trekkercomic.com site to keep it fully functional in no time at all. That's magic to me. Plus, she's a delight to work with and the best people.

UH OH!
I recently made the mistake (?) of dropping into my #1 comics shop in Portland, Cosmic Monkey Comics, after a too-long absence, and I *may* have overdone it a trifle in my impulse to catch up on some recent, top-shelf work.

Still, I feel no regrets.

SERPENTINE: A Story From Afar A 48-page comic book about astral projection, adventure, and responsibility

SO ready for this! The return of a terrific project by my colleague, the distinctive and gifted creator Leila del Duca (@leiladelduca.bsky.social):

Some evening color for ya.

The smile that comes when you know a new season of #BrokenwoodMysteries is coming to AcornTV on April 6.

Oh, also when it’s a mild and sunny day on the central Oregon coast in March.

Remembering this particular Queen on her birthday with has to be her most smoking album ever. Nothing against Respect, but I'll take a taste of Amazing Grace every time.

I drew a poster for Comic Con Oakland @comicconoakland.com, colored by the mighty @dillonsnook.bsky.social!

And I can’t wait for this con. It’s been forever since I attended a show in Oakland.

Sometimes all that comes is these lines from Yeats as set to music by The Waterboys:
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.

Well, have a grand day, Mike!

Happy Birthday to Al Williamson.

My tattered copy of his FLASH GORDON #5 that I stumbled across on the comics racks in 1967 probably holds little commercial value, but remains a priceless talisman and a timeless inspiration to that little kid that still lives inside me.

Thanks, Al!

Having a blast working on the light-hearted back up story for the new Trekker book. I found a way to dial this one up to 10 on the Retro Sci-Fi meter.

(Late Pledges still open for a little bit at TrekkerKickstarter.com)

Oh, my genuine pleasure, Steve. And congrats on the strong launch. Keep ‘em (and Athena) flying!
