A new “Pup” strip today at Serializer, for your edification and amusement.
The new Little Trees page probably won’t be up until next week. The mad crunch on that SPX anthology submission took up most of my drawing time this week! Another thing I’m working on is getting that complete Journal Comic collection together. It’s taking so long because I’m putting a bunch of extra stuff into it. This also involves finishing up a bunch of strips from back in the day, that I got half-way through before abandoning them (due to lack of time.) I’ll post up the cover in a bit.
Ryan “Peq” asked me nicely to link to his site, so there you go, Ryan. Don’t say I never gave you anything.
So I bought some “King Vitaman” cereal the other day, and the box had some half-hearted riddles on the side, as such cereals are wont to have. “What runs around King Vitaman’s castle? Mice! Which of King Vitaman’s knights weighs 300 pounds? Sir Lunchalot!” But then there’s this one: “What’s the king’s favorite cereal? King Vitaman!” Well, jeez. You weren’t even trying with that one. If someone’s reading those riddles, they’ve already bought the cereal. You’re not going to convince them to buy more with a lame “riddle.” Asides from that, the cereal was inoffensive.

Well, I got my submission for the SPX Anthology done – a day early, even. Four pages in three days… Thus I’ve successfully proved to myself that I could indeed draw a monthly comic, if for some reason I wanted to. That was some pretty intense drawing, though… I was holding a Rapidograph in such a death grip that the little dent on the side of the tip of my middle finger was aching… You know, that part where you rest the pen when you’re writing or something?
Anyway, we’ll see if the anthology accepts or rejects this bad boy. If they don’t want it, I’ll post it up here. Even if they do, I’ll probably end up posting it eventually, but probably long after the book comes out.
In other news, you should check out this website – it has dozens of music videos of the persuasion MTV used to dub “Breakthrough.” Makes me feel like a sucker for buying those Michel Gondry and Chris Cunningham collections…
Last night I got the wild notion that I should submit a story to this year’s SPXPO anthology. The only drawback – the deadline is on the 15th! So that gives me four days to get a four page story done. Not impossible…
If I don’t get it done on time, I’ll finish it up anyway and post it here. Ditto if they reject it.
But hopefully, you’ll see it in the book!
In other news, I’m also contributing to one of the upcoming Flight anthologies. I wasn’t going to announce it yet, seeing as how I’ve barely even started on my piece, but Kazu already let the cat out of the bag, so what the hell.
Also, you should check out my friend Matt Bogart’s site.
A new “Pup” update awaits you at Serializer.net! As always, the current strip is free, the archive is subscriber-only.
