To summarize

Ok, well, it's been a really busy few weeks! Three weeks ago was the Calgary Expo, where Vicious Ambitious's ROCKET JUICE debuted:



That's the sci-fi anthology in which my first TEENS IN LOVE IN SPACE strip appears! I hope to do many more.

Last weekend, of course, was FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, and I went up to Happy Harbor in Edmonton with Nick, Steve Gervais and Chris Peterson for a dinner, movie, all-day sketching/signing, BBQ, party, interview with Ed the Sock and Liana K, hotel room gambling, and fried breakfast. Steve Rolston won all my laundry money again with one of his handcrafted games of chance. And Steph Chan did a really good writeup of the day for CBR.
