Best Evening E-VER
First of all, come find me at APE this weekend! That’s right, French Toast Comix is making its table-debut. I’ll be at booth 137B, which is easy to find: It’s exactly as far away from the entrance as possible. Woo-hoo! I’m leaving for San Francisco tomorrow. I’ve never spent so much time around cartoonists–classes, apartments, […]
It Happens
I had a lot of fun with this strip. It started as the usual 6-panel grid in my sketchbook; then I remembered that an online comic isn’t limited by paper size. On a separate page, I drew the kitchen timers and ticking sound effects. I also redrew one panel, which I almost never do, to […]

So, I’m still working through my box of goodies from SPX. Some highlights so far are Release the Bats, a collection of Liz Baillie‘s short comics, Volume I of Dylan Meconis’ Family Man, which I highly recommend, and Julia Wertz‘s Drinking at the Movies, which is awkward to read on a long-distance bus when you’re […]
