Tallulah Louise
Please welcome to the world Tallulah Louise, daughter to Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction, brother to Henry Leo and born into a circle of friends that wraps so far around the world that she'll never know what it's like to be lost.
Welcome to Earth, kid. It's going to be fun.

Night Music: The Caretaker
"The Haunted Ballroom" is, to me, the very essence of the Caretaker project. The Caretaker has since sloughed his skin and moved on to become Leyland Kirby, whose SADLY THE FUTURE IS NO LONGER WHAT IT WAS has been mentioned here.

If you liked DO ANYTHING, by the way, may I point you at SHIVERING SANDS for something more wide-ranging but probably a bit easier on the brain?
He Walked Among Us
It somehow escaped my notice that old acquaintance Norman Spinrad finally saw his novel HE WALKED AMONG US published recently, by Tor. Norman's seminal BUG JACK BARRON was an obvious touchstone for my TRANSMETROPOLITAN. I had the great pleasure of reading HE WALKED AMONG US in manuscript form many years ago. (And, as perks of the job go, the author of BUG JACK BARRON asking you if you'd like to read the ms of his new novel is pretty good.)

Right, then. It turns out that DO ANYTHING (here's a nice review) is available for any comic shop to order immediately. It's not on backorder, and anyone who tells you they can't order it for you is full of shit. Tell your local comics shop that the order code for DO ANYTHING is FEB100700. Tell them I sent you.
Castration Anxiety
New webcomic by Ales Kot and Zoetica Ebb. Delightful like a drunk clown brandishing a knife that he made out of a baby.

Is anyone in North America having trouble finding my book DO ANYTHING? Someone on my message board noted that amazon.com did have it available, but now say they're out of stock and don't know if they'll be getting more. Khepri.com don't have it, which surprised me, and TFAW don't have any copies and say it'll take them from 15 to 30 days to backorder a copy. And, of course, there are the usual stories of local comics stores not ordering it at all, but that obviously surprises me less.
