(Bonus Panel)

Thanks to everyone who came out to the H-Town Minicon! It was great meeting you guys, and seeing some old friends. It was the first comic convention I’ve ever attended that had its own award-winning geodesic dome, that’s for sure.

I’m getting ready for STAPLE! in Austin on March 3rd and 4th, so it’s going to be a busy week! It’s one of the best indie comic expos in Texas, and it’ll be my first time exhibiting there, so I’m quite excited. Hope to see you there!

(Bonus Panel!)

These bonus panels are fun. Maybe I should start doing them more often.

If you’re in Houston this Sunday, Sunday, Sunday the 26th, I’ll be exhibiting with my comics and stuff at the H-Town Minicon. It’s totally free, and totally fun. C’mon by and say hello!

(Here’s a bonus panel for today’s comic!)

I’ve been playing around with halftone patterns–they’re pretty cool!

Yesterday, Justin Boyd of Invisible Bread gave this ol’ robot and boy a very nice shout out. Thanks so much Justin! If you’re a new reader here, thank you for checking out my comics!

### NEWS FLASH ###

I’ll be exhibiting at the H-Town Minicon Sunday February 26th! There’s a lot of fun stuff going on there, live music and the like. Sorry for the short notice, but I just confirmed I can make it. Hope you can too!

Dave of Mercworks invited me to draw a guest comic, so I did!

And so ends our exciting tale!

(Thanks to Justin Boyd for suggesting a tandem bicycle to be included in the story!)

Yes indeedy, there’s still more in store for our wayward cyclist. We are building so much character, aren’t we?

My comic buddy Josh Bauman of Caffeinated Toothpaste has put together an IndieGoGo pledge page to help produce his next book. Click on over there and check out his campaign!
 

The magic bike what grants eternal fun couldn’t possibly have a downside. Or does it?! My attempts at foreshadowing will all make sense as the story unfolds. More of this strange tale on Wednesday!

Guyssssss. STAPLE! is nigh three weeks away, it would be great to see you all there, because I will be there of course, and the seeing/seeing that will be happeing is something legendary. I’ll be on hand for high-fives, cool conversations, along with all this stuff I make. Be there, and be awesome.

Magic and adventure are afoot, dear reader. Join me on Monday for more of this exciting tale.

Not to worry, this is going somewhere. I promise.

Guyyyyyssss, I was asked to draw a guest comic for Adventuresome, and it’s about the bread who is also a knight. Legalese: Bread Who is Also a Knight is the creation of the super duper bright and shiny Keith Mclean, cartoonist of the aforementioned awesome comic, Adventuresome.

If you’re not reading Adventuresome, I feel bad for you son. Keith is also really awesome at his twitter, by that I mean he is funny and nice, which are the two secrets to being a good person/webcartoonist. He’s got some grand schemes in the works, which I hope involve lots of Uncle Andy.

It’s not quite Chez Cereal, (pronounced: shay sii ray-ahl) but a similar idea has been done. I share Robbie’s sentiment about this.

This weekend Julai discovered they’re streaming the entire animated series of The Mysterious Cities of Gold on Netflix. I only vaguely remember MCoG airing when I was little, but it stands the test of time.

The series is set in 16th century Mesoamerica with a mix of historical and fantastical elements. The opening theme and soundtrack are excellent, and there are some remarkably trippy sequences and adult themes for it ostensibly being a kid’s cartoon. The educational segments at the end of each episode aren’t bad either! (There’s footage of an iguana eating a cactus that I can’t get over.) I’ll say the English dubbed vocals aren’t superb, but what can you do. The adapted musical score more than makes up for it. We love it, and have made it a new Saturday morning tradition, which we also enjoy with our cat, Wizard.

Last week, I mentioned some comic shops where you can pick up the new Robbie and Bobby book. You can always order it from my online store, but seeing it in the real is pretty cool, too.

I asked some folks on Facebook and Twitter what kind of new R&B merch they’d like to see and got some great ideas, thanks to everyone who pitched in. I’ll let you know what I come up with! In the meantime, I’m trying to make some room in the shop, so I’ve marked down the prices on my inventory of t-shirts.
