 As alvays, clicken on der strip to make it ze bigger-uppen. BY the way, my thanks to the folks who went ape on the PBA Marvel Villains e-bay piece and bid it up to a little over $400 for charity -- holy bananas, that's pretty a-okay. I was hoping for about half that. Thanks again. |

 Click on strip to make legible. Please keep in mind, folks, that these newer Fun Strips I've been uploading haven't had the benefit of being cleaned up in Photoshop by Sarah. So, you may experience choppier-than-usual lettering, shabby white-ink corrections and the like. Unfortunately, the jokes will be the same no matter what Sarah does to the artwork, if they don't work, nothing will save them. While I've got your ear, or eye, and/or brain (ewww!), Beasts of Burden readers might be interested in this nice review of the series from Tom Spurgeon over at The Comics Reporter, and/or this brief (for em, at least) interview about the upcoming hardcover collection at the Comic Monsters site. Otherwise: Kinda spending the day doing administrative work, convention and appearance stuff, interviews, posting and plugging, dealing with business e-mails, the stuff that doesn't feel like working but still is part of what you do. I'm also getting on top of the thesis advisor work I'm doing for a student at the CCS. This afternoon Sarah finished coloring four spot illos we did for Mad Magazine, so, if all goes well, I can get back to my two main gigs tonight (a script and layouts for a Bongo strip). Friends of mine are getting together tonight, and I don't see anyone much, and I wanted to go out, but, well, right now work wins. I really can't complain, it's good to have work. All for now -- thanks to those folks who have placed bids on the PBA charity piece I drew, it's doing even better than I'd hoped and it's nice to see that people are interested in it. |

The original art auctions for the Bridgewater, NJ PBA 174 started last week, and I've been remiss in posting that folks can bid on the Marvel Villains piece I did for the fundraiser. The auction can be found here. It already has bids, which is swell, but I wanted to remind folks in case anyone out there reading this was interested. Thanks!

 click to biggie-size I ran this one already, but I buried it in a larger post and some folks may have missed what I think we all can agree is an inspirational bit of poetry. I would not, for the life of me, want that to happen. And I'm feeling lazy. |

Hey, folks -- I'll be a guest on the Blog Talk Radio show Hour 42 this evening at 10 PM EST. You can listen live (or listen to the show once it's archived) here. Unlike my weekly stints on SLG Radio, I expect I'll be pretty subdued. I have no idea why they want to interview me (It's a superhero-themed show, and while I've done a bunch of superhero stuff, it's not something I'm exactly known for or in demand for), so, we'll see what happens. Or hear what happens. |

Go here to listen live tomorrow or listen to archived episodes today. And remember, if you listen live you can call us at 1-646-378-0737 to join the conversation, ask a question, or beg us to shut up. |

Hey, folks, we've tossed another batch of items up on e-bay as we continue the culling. This time up it's mostly small original art pieces I've done, odds and ends for Mad Magazine, a few small Milk and Cheese trading card pieces, a lot of Dork "Fun" strips that weren't done as a full page, and a few rough layouts done for the ill-fated Metal Men series. We're also listing our last Archie page for sale (for now, at least, and it's a cover piece), and some toys. The new listings can be found here. Thanks for looking, thanks for bidding.  Remember: These auctions are Fly-approved. |

 Yeah, this is the same strip I posted a panel from some months ago. And yeah, I'm only now finished up with the pencils on panel two. Actually, panel three, if you count the title art (I do). It'll get done. One of these years. |
