Polar Opposites: #3,935 on Amazon Rankings!
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #3,935 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)
#21 in Books > Children's Books > Animals > Birds #22 in Books > Children's Books > Literature & Fiction > Religious Fiction > Christian #25 in Books > Children's Books > Animals > Bears
I'm definitely not one to really follow these things -- especially with a book that is now two years old. Fleeting as it might be however, ( I mean I probably just happened by at the exact minute that it sold 3 copies in close proximity - or something like that - it is kind of cool to see such a relatively low number next to one of my books.
Not to MENTION being in the low 20's for children's Bird books. Go Zina! -- And tiny, mostly black - with a little bit of white, older, near sighted, right-handed, neat and tidy penguins around the world :)
Overdue: Harts Pass No. 125 & 126
Patience is a virtue. Or so it used to be. Thanks for practicing your "old school" values and waiting a while for me to post last week's strip. No. 126 is pretty much right on time! And while we're at it, THREE CHEERS and a big THANK YOU to the good folks at Les Schwab and other such tire places who are prepping us non-wolverine types for safe winter driving. Patience is a virtue...

Poster Design: The Tortoise vs the Hare
I've been having a lot of fun doing poster design for Methow Arts of late. The Missoula Children's Theatre is coming to town Nov. 12-17 and this Tortoise vs the Hare poster is one of my favorites so far -- probably because I got to illustrate it as well :)If you've got kids in the Methow be sure to note the audition date of Monday, Nov. 12 at 12:30pm. It's a whirlwind week of casting, rehearsals, and performances, but it's an amazing production every year. If you're just checking in from afar, enjoy the poster!

A Harts Pass Happy Halloween!
In honor of Washington State Poet Laureate, Kathleen Flenniken -- who is currently visiting with 3-5th graders throughout Okanogan County, hosting an open mike night at the Salmon Creek Coffee Co. on Thursday night, and giving a public performance at the Merc Playhouse on Friday, Nov. 2nd -- this week's strip waxes a wee bit poetical 'ore the creative potential of Halloween :)
