DIARY COMICS #5. 44 black and white pages, color cover, printed in my office on the same clanky old Dell laserjet I’ve printed all my comics on since 2006 or so. Just $5, available for sale here. I have been thinking hard about how I make comics, and more importantly why I make comics, and these comics represent the beginnings of that shift. I like the direction–you may not, or you may. That is up to you! But–increasingly–the art that makes me excited is the stuff where I can sense the artist wrestling something, whether they have it beaten yet or not. Or.. maybe another way to look at it is art where I sense my wrestling in their work? Huh, that’s worth thinking about. At any rate. My point is it seems unlikely that you won’t enjoy these comics, at $5 a pop for 44 pages + a little sketch. 

RELATED: if you’re waiting on a drawing from me, either from my Stimulus Package offer or a Persons of Interest (hi Craig), and you’d like one of these, just email me and I’ll add it to your order and we’ll work it out. No reason to pay shipping. Also, thanks very much for your patience!

DIARY COMICS! Just announced over at The Comics Reporter is the collection of my series of “Diary Comics” strips. It’s a cute little book at 5" x 6.5", 236 pages long, edited down from the 400+ original strips and with around 30 brand new pages added. I worked hard on this to turn it from a ramshackle collection of sandwiches and moments into something with a little more value, more narrative, and more gutpunch. I’m much more proud of it than I expected to be, and can’t wait for it to debut at TCAF next year as part of Koyama Press’s summer line. Excelsior!

From a series of diary comics that will see the light of day next year. Testing out some of Kyle Webster’s “Real Watercolor” brushes, which are pretty… righteous. Very impressed, and will probably use these for all my diary comic inkwashes going forward. Check them out for yourself here. If you use Manga Studio 5, you should also check out Ray Frenden’s primo brushes here. You deserve it!

Talking with Zack Soto and Ryan Pequin on Twitter last night about shoplifting experiences reminded me of this comic I did wayyy back in 2011 as a backup for “Good Ol’” Mike Holmes’ book True Stories, which you can buy here if you haven’t already. I have a copy and it’s fantastic–don’t judge the book by this lowly strip. Mike is amazing and beautiful and supple as a teenage ballerina.

Oh! And also I’m on Twitter, did you know that? It’s true, dumdums.
