iFanBoy covers SiP & Echo
iFanBoy recently devoted an entire show to discussing Strangers In Paradise and Echo as series. I was so pleased to find this.

Emerald City, SiP Omnibus, DC News
In the warehouse, under heavy guard and soft padding, the remaining Strangers In Paradise Omnibus box sets sit and wait for their call to duty. When you order yours, I will open the shrink wrap, sign each of the 3 books inside the box, and do a sketch in Book One. Then we carefully wrap it all back up and ship it to you like a happy puppy. Happy Puppy Press, that's us.
FYI: All SiP Omnibus come with a Lifetime Guarantee for that sketch in Book One. If you have an Omnibus without a sketch in...

Quick report: Omnibus & Belgium problem
When you order a SiP Omnibus (still some left, by the way). I select your Omnibus package, carefully open the shrink wrap just at the opening so I can slide the books out. I sign each book and doodle a sketch in Book One…
Then I place the books back into the slipcase and fold the shrink wrap back over the top…
The Omnibus is placed onto a bed of plastic peanuts in a heavy-duty shipping box. Then peanuts are stuffed around the Omnibus all the way up and over the top so that it disappears into...

New Additions To Art Sale!
The art sale is going quite well. 9 pieces sold the first day. Since we planned on leaving the sale running for a week or two, we're going to add new pieces in order to keep a nice variety available. There was a lot of Echo art in the first batch, so Robyn suggested I now dip into SiP a bit more.
Anyway, I dove into the archives and found some surprising jewels. For example, I pulled the earliest page left in my collection of Francine, Katchoo, and David, all on the same page. It's page 24...

Art Sale!
It's that time of year, folks! Time to pull some of my favorite pages from the vault and try to find good homes for them around the world so that if lightning were to strike the studio, my art (some of it, at least) will survive.
The sale begins Thursday, Feb 4th at the SiPstore.
I've pulled 23 pages of original pen and ink art from Echo and Strangers In Paradise. Every page means something to me for one reason or another, and I tried to select pages that would look good framed and hanging on a...

ECHO #19… iPad…Dallas
The new issue of Echo is out, as of yesterday. If all went well in the U.S. trucking industry the past week, your local comic shop (LCS) should have Echo 19 sitting front and center, looking for a loving home. So look for this cover in your journeys today. I hope you enjoy it.
The Dallas Comic Con
Robyn and I were at the warehouse this morning, packing goodies to take to the Dallas con like Santa laoding the sleigh. But I always think the same thing when I'm loading up: 'I hope I sell all this ...

Grabbing the new iPad… and my retailers hand
I have not made an authorized digital library of my work to date, but tomorrow that may change. Tomorrow Steve Jobs debuts what he refers to as his "most important work ever", the iPad. I'm sure I speak for most comic creators when I say we are anxious to see this thing. Will the iPad be to the Kindle what the iPhone is to the Palm Pilot? And if comics on the iPad look as crisp and beautiful as the photoshop files on the creator's computer, isn't that going to be hard to resist?
This could...

New strip today – Koopa's Keep
My son Trey has a website where he posts his own strip Koopa's Keep. It's fun stuff about him and his friends and gaming and wrestling and whatever it is young men do between naps. This week he's posting guest strips and today is mine. Here's the first panel. To read the rest, click here.
Dallas Comic Con on Saturday
This Saturday (which is supposed to be COLD!) I will be at the Dallas Comicon, which, if you recall from earlier posts, takes place in the neighborhood I spent my teens. Funny how things happen like that. The building of the con is on the grounds of a nice big library. I spent many hours in that library as a young man, pouring over the artbooks and anything related to art. Something of a full circle to come back to the same complex for professional art reasons. Brings a smile to my face.
