Hello, again

Bit quite here, eh?

OK, while Hans settles in to the new place, and I get back into the swing of things, here's a taste of something we're getting ready to offer up:



This isn't a new page, even though it looks like it.

Soon, you'll see the rest of this image--and soon, we'll reveal even more.

Life is being shaken up again, and I have to move. I'm returning to my childhood home amidst the trees and lakes of Ashburnham, Massachusetts. My father has offered to let me and my lady occupy this old lakeside property in exchange for renovations and upkeep. It's a "charming" place that holds many memories. It is this place (and the town around it) that inspired CHLOE and THE SQUIRREL MACHINE. It will be interesting to see what furture projects will emanate there.
Webcomics updates will be on hold for the next week or two until I have settled in. I don't particularly relish delaying the comics output. ECTOPIARY is reaching a critical point in the story, so I am anxious to get back to work on it soon.

I don't know why I find those oversized kidney-shaped things so compelling to draw.

BUY BOOKS FROM ME

I've altered the webcomics sites to include a somewhat more streamlined "STORE" page. (You are encouraged to view it HERE.) FOLLY, SQUIRREL MACHINE and CHLOE are now available for purchase directly from ME. (That way I make more on these book sales on top of my usual royalty) I'm aware that some links are still broken. I hope to have it fixed by the end of this week when I have time.
Also, be aware the Fantagraphics has now SOLD OUT of THE SQUIRREL MACHINE. I have a handful of copies for sale, but supplies are very limited, so act fast!

Apologies about the late update. Most of the upcoming scene is very difficult for me to draw. I had toss out one page and redraw it. This is one of things that worried me about keeping a regular weekly update schedule. I have a tendency to get fed up with whole sequences and rework several pages of material excessively. A regular deadline forces me to let slide material that does not stand up to my perfectionist standards. Bear with me...

Some of these places are real.

I like goats just because they have horizontal irises.
