Old head alert!! A long time reader requested-- instead of Jonathan Reason from SLEEP -- poor old Knute, and his pursuer Thiudmir, the visigoth leader from The Replacement God (a comic book series that is *cough* 30 years old this year)

Twin Cities Con! The sketch covers have arrived-- the first two issues reprinted in a handsome addition with a bespoke watercolor cover: $100. Get a picture of our hapless protagonist and my best guess at what the unseen monster looks like, or request your own!

Hey comics friends: I'm putting together the letters page for Sleep #7, the penultimate issue! Got any questions for me? I'll answer them briefly here, and in more detail on the letters page! Note: I may be cagey about lore, but, y'know, who knows?

This one, and "The Mouse And His Child" from Sanrio, of all places, were the two that occupied a place in my mind where I kind of wondered if I'd just made them up.

I feel a twinge of nostalgic sadness for the demise of the Canadian animation studio Nelvana. Of course mostly for the well-known stuff, but there's a part of me that especially loved the all-robot "Romie-0 and Julie-8" (being 4 years old will do that).

SDCC! In less than 1 hour, at noon, I'll be giving a panel in room 3 about how to make a four-page mini comic. We'll go through the entire process, with a constant focus on how anybody can do it and it is really really fun. See you then!
