Have a great holiday weekend, US Americans! Grillin’ and chillin’ for all of you. I command it.

Since I’m working to recover both energy and funds from the long trip west, I’ve put up the entirety of the previous storyline, This Is How I Deal, for sale in the store.

They start at $85, and most are under $100 (save a few double-pagers and detailed ones) These are enormous pages done on bristol board, and as always they are completely one-of-a-kind and signed by the artist. Check out the collection here.

I’m back! And what’s more exciting, I’m back in a brand new studio in Portland! It’s a very charming space. I’ll post more on it later as it swiftly comes together. A big thanks to Jason, John, Erika, and Steve for filling in these past 1.3 weeks!

Due to the great expense of moving, I’m hoping to roll out some new goods & services later this week. It’s possible I will take a few commissions if there is interest.

Y’all best believe Steve Wolfhard makes the best (the best) comics. He recently did a fantastic one-off, Cat Rackham and the Comforts of Life, on his art blog. You are in for delights!

Good news - I’ve arrived safely in Portland, OR after an 8-day road trip! Everything is peachy. I think it’s safe to say the comic (by me) will resume Monday. Hope you liked these fill-ins as much as I did.

Reporting live from a Yellowstone pay phone with an awesome guest strip from the critically-acclaimed-yet-puerile and totally mackable Erika Moen of DAR: A Super Girl Top Secret Comic Diary!

John Keogh is renowned for making some of the most badass guest comics in all the land. When he agreed to do one for me I knew we were all in for a good, slightly disturbing thing. John does the world famous medical drama Lucid TV. Read and enjoy.

Today’s comic comes to you from one of my favorite artists and soon-to-be Portland neighbors, Jason “JFish” Fischer! I’ve wanted Jason to do a guest strip for a while now, and I’m pleased as punch to be running one! The idea for this strip comes from Andrew Miller and Greg Khmara, the latter of whom is working with Jason on a fantastic graphic novel, The Tabouli Bros., for which I’m absolutely psyched. Check out Jason’s wonderful art!

Since my drafting desk has been taken apart and placed on a pallet, I drew today’s comic high school style: on the kitchen table! With any luck my little desk and other precious items make their way peacefully to the west.

As I gear up for my cross-country move, here is your double heads-up:

-I will be running a few (awesome) guest strips soon.
-book/print orders will not ship until June 28th as I relocate my office.

The latter does not apply to T-shirt orders, which Topatoco will happily ship as usual.

Today’s comic was drawn at my going-away party, thrown by some local friends who I will miss very much. It was a good night.

Have a good weekend! Mine has started out busy, but here is a comic.
