I can’t seem to figure out how to make theses comics appear larger & more legible-the wordpress settings have changed and I haven’t changed with them. If anyone has any technical advice, I’d be much obliged.

That Time of Year Again

I know it’s barely July first anymore, but here is my first comic for my annual July Diary comic project . [image error]

Thank you to everybody at Moon Palace Books and everyone who came out to Moon Palace Books and laughed at my jokes and made me feel like a king.

Also! Next week I will be at Boneshaker Books surrounded by a lot of talent for 2dcloud‘s AltComics10:

Pre-Post-Pre-Order Special

[image error]

My new book, Everything is Flammable, which is getting rave reviews, is not in stores yet and can still only be obtained at a few select places, like Desert Island, the upcoming PEN Festival, on the Uncivilized website, and now here.

For you “process nerds,” I’m offering a special deal: each of the next fifty copies bought from me will include a detailed draft of one of the pages from the book. I’ll choose my favorite for the first one and work on down that way, although they are all pretty cool. Also, if you’ve read the book or part of it and would like a specific page, please feel free to inquire in the buyer’s notes if it’s available.

A lot of these drafts have “deleted scenes” and this one even has a deleted cameo with Julia Wertz:

It will arrive in the book nestled next to the page that it eventually becomes:

For only $20.00 plus shipping, you can get a unique piece of artwork and a signed copy (160 pages, full-color, Hardcover, 6 x 9 inches) of Everything is Flammable.

Just click:
