For Patreon backers only – I talked about making webcomics for kids, with cartoonist Alec Longstreth, on his Isle of Elsi podcast! His backers got to hear it, and now you do too!

Alec’s ongoing patron-backed comic, The Isle of Elsi, is a very charming webcomic for kids, packed with wordplay.  We talked about making webcomics, comics for kids, and how we got into this whole crazy business. The other episodes are up on Alec’s Patreon, but he let me post this one up for my backers too! Take a listen!

Even though I meant to get this up earlier, now’s a good time too, since Alec just launched a Kickstarter for an Isle of Elsi book! You can find links to that, and read the whole comic for free here, http://www.isleofelsi.com

IT’S NEARLY OUT!!!

The second volume of The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo: The Monster Mall hits shelves everywhere tomorrow! (it might already be in your local comic store). I made up this little book trailer to go with it! I’d love if you shared this far and wide with anyone who might enjoy.

If you’d like to get the new book (or the first one), here’s a shiny new page with links: http://margomaloo.com/books

This weekend I’ll be at the Small Press Expo in Bethesda (assuming the hurricane doesn’t blow it away), so come see me there if you’re in the neighborhood. I’ll be at a few other places this fall, too – check out the updated appearance schedule over to the right.

And finally – yes, a new chapter is coming! Just give me a little more time to get this book launch out of the way!

It’s coming this fall! The announcement and cover reveal went live today at The Nerdist, along with First Second’s entire fall line. 

It’s a very exciting lineup of books, too. I’m especially excited for the new Tillie Walden book, the conclusion of The Nameless City trilogy, and the startling return of Aaron Renier’s “Walker Bean,” a sequel for which I’ve been waiting more than 7 years.
