FRIENDS, I come bearing four pages. Koark sees our furry creatures. Five pages would give a better stopping-point, but I am trying real hard to build up a buffer, so you get small bits for now.

The Huff shirt is available for like two more days! Thanks everybody who's ordered one so far; I'm excited to see them and send them to yous. Many of you forgot to give me a shirt size so I have numerous emails to send out to you. The profit I'm making on these shirts is going pretty much entirely to building up a stock of those expensive books and trinkets for conventions.

Hey comics! I have read good comics lately. First I've been rereading Templar, AZ for the first time in a long time. A lot of you probably know about Templar but let me tell you that I love it, anyway. Very interesting and well-written characters. Also I always love seeing invented settings that are put together so tightly and cohesively that they never really need to be explained. Dicebox is another comic I can think of that does that very well. Something that is completely different is Bear Quest, which is a story of a one-eyed blue bear's Quest to eat everything, I guess, and which is told on two parallel tracks by drawings and by screenshots from some old sidescrolling game that I assume never actually existed. It is very very strange. And also I read Pulpatoon Pilgrimage, a real ink-and-paper comic. It's about a plant-person, a bull-person, and a robot-person going on a journey to somewhere, and learning about each other on the way. I really enjoyed it: the pacing is very nice, and the drawings are really really good. If you like Rice Boy I think Pulpatoon is a comic you might like, too.

More pages Wednesday!
