Hey, there’s something coming up that I want to tell you about!

RANDOM ACCESS MEMORABILIA, The Kickstarter

Random Access Memorabilia, Schlock Mercenary Book 13, has launched on Kickstarter.

That link has all the details, but here are some bullet points:

  • Kickstarter and Backerkit are how we’ll be handling pre-orders for Random Access Memorabilia.
  • The funding period is just 24 days.
  • Books will begin shipping to backers in February of 2018.

For the next four weeks I’ll probably be something of a one-note symphony. Schlock Mercenary feeds (and houses, and educates, and transports, etc) our family, and the book collections are the largest part of how that happens.

We really look forward to putting this book in your hands. It’s one of my very favorites, and the bonus story is looking amazing.

Thank you for your support!

Long Workdays

After a month of “vacation” in which I didn’t draw any comics, I’m squaring off against a pressing need to draw two weeks of comics each week. Additionally, I picked up a super-secret project which is also demanding lots of time.

If you don’t hear from me much, it’s because I’m kind of busy. Last week I spent about 90 hours sketching, scanning, inking, and writing. I spent about zero hours going to the movies.

Today is Labor Day here in the United States, and I’m celebrating it by being quite happy to be employed doing something I love. No way would I work this hard on something I didn’t like.

Back at My Desk, 28 Days Later

I spent 27 days on the road, and didn’t even power my PC up until the day after I got back. This means that 1) it’s 28 days later, and 2) I’m glad it’s not the movie kind of 28 days later.

I have a full month of stories to tell. Some of them are hilarious, some are triumphant, and a few are really complainy and kvetchy. None of them are being told here, however, because I’m tired. I will, however, provide a few titles:

  • Low Clearance But We Made It… Twice
  • The Palace is Boring Now That I Know It’s a Replacement
  • I See You Wrapped it in Bacon
  • “You Are Spy”: the Tale of the Writer and the Submarine
  • There Must Be a Ley Line Here
  • I Bet Walt Took Pictures
  • Oh BarCon, Where Art Thou?
  • I Promised Myself I Wouldn’t Do This
  • Maybe I’ll Let Somebody Else Say It For Me
  • Oh Laundry, Where Art Thou?
  • Rabidly, Ravenously Committing to a Joke
  • Who Cares I Bet The Moon Will Do This Again Eventually

Should we meet in person, I might share one of these stories with you. Where appropriate, I might relate one of these stories while I’m on a panel at Salt Lake Comic Con.

Now, however, I need to go make up some stories and draw pictures for them. It’s been four weeks since I got any actual work done.
