Scott and I will be at GraniteCon in Nashua NH, this Sunday, March 14th. Come out of your igloo, get comics, signatures, T-shirts, sketches, and maybe kisses*.

In completely unrelated news, I now spend most of my working days in coffee shops and cafes where I can look like as huge a jack ass poseur as I think everyone else here is.

I keep to myself, since I’m actually working instead of artfully arranging half a dozen iProducts on the table to make sure everyone knows how easily swayed I am by advertising (seriously, look at this guy, you do not need a MacBook Air, iPod, and iPhone all in front of you while you read a book). This self-imposed exile can lead to awkward situations where I’m researching some kind of inane conspiracy theory horseshit and the people next to me think I’m an idiot.

Or, today, I find myself looking at half a dozen tabs opened to pages about the Confederacy and its sympathizers while as many black dudes sit around me. AHAHAHAhem.

“No, see, this is research. I don’t, y’know, this isn’t my thing. I write comic books about this robot. Like, okay, in the second volume? Look at all this Nazi shit I had to…ehhhhh. Okay, Volume Three. See, tons of research on Lovecrafffffuck.”

The asshole on the Mac doesn’t have this problem.

*not from us though.

Help a fellow fan with her masters thesis by taking a short survey. Thanks!

There’s so much going on over at Nerdy Show it’s a little scary. Free Protomen concert, an interview with Ben Templesmith, the nonstop horrorshow of Dungeons & Doritos, and the Blackest Night fight song contest. Whew.

I should be able to align the stars and get Tuesday’s 8BT done. I know online readerships are a fickle bunch, and it’s easy to assume the worst about a creator who has committed the grave offense of irregular updates. But the difficulties outlined here, specifically…

“I do all the graphical work on my PC. Long story short, since the move my PC doesn’t have an internet connection. Don’t bother sending me suggestions on how to fix that, the sentiment is absolutely appreciated but trust me here, it’s not an option for the time being. Additionally, I don’t have 100% reliable access to my PC. As you may have guessed, it ain’t easy to make a digital comic without the digital.”

…have not changed. I’ve given you eight years of some of the most consistent* work you’ve seen online, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask for a little patience from you here, in the final hours, when I miss an update for the simple reason that it’s impossible to make one. Thank you.

*Hey, terrible work is still consistent work.
