I’m Nobody! Who are you?
I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us?
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!
How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

This week I’m recovering from the Stumptown Comics Fest and working to meet a deadline for the short comic Sara Ryan and I are contributing to the forthcoming new Bordertown anthology. (I mentioned that before, right?)
So here’s a new image never before seen online! This week’s update features the almost-final center art for the cover of the Family Man vol. 1 book.

7:30pm to Midnight
The Secret Society, 116 NE Russell Street, Portland, OR
Ladies in Portland of all ages! If you write comics, edit comics, letter comics, study comics, sell comics, design for comics, review comics, or work for a library that offers comics…you’re invited to the DDLL party tonight! (Librarians and ladies who work for publishers, you’re especially welcome!)
The Secret Society is one of the coolest little joints in Portland, and we’ll be in their swank little ballroom, eating cupcakes and consuming beverages of all kinds. The party runs from 7:30 to midnight, so whether you’re an early-to-bed type or a night owl, there’s time to enjoy.
I’ll be there schmoozing it up! Tell you friends and c’mon down.
Fortuitously, an easy page for me this week. Fortuitous because (after being sick for three days and getting behind on every project I’m currently working on) I’m also getting ready for the Stumptown Comics Fest, here in my own Portland, OR. I’m the coordinator for all the panel programming and this year and I’m very proud and excited about all the wonderful stuff that will be going on!
This year I also got to help the lovely Hope Larson organize the Drink and Draw Like a Lady event (not to be missed!). You haven’t lived until you’ve placed an order for 200 cupcakes, my friends.
I’ll be at Table 105 selling some delightful wares, and I’ll be appearing on a panel with fellow history comics artist Kate Beaton. See you there!
To exchange one orthodoxy for another is not necessarily an advance. The enemy is the gramophone mind, whether or not one agrees with the record that is being played at the moment.
