Put on your snowboots, the Panthers keep wading their way through the damp-grey slush pile. Lots of talk about movies (Cop-Out, Inglourious Basterds, Precious), The American Idol, subway buskers, and more. Comments Welcome!

Better late than never, here’s the picture I drew to submit to the Objet d’Afro art contest that AdHouse is running in support of the fantastic new book, Afrodisiac by Jim Rugg and Brian Maruca.

I loved that Nixon was a villain in the book. I’m a fan of trivia having to do with modern American Presidents, so saw this as a perfect opportunity to make a very timely Spiro Agnew reference – everybody’s favorite disgraced Vice-President!

Three new pages posted to the TROOP 142 site, concluding the TUESDAY chapter. Now, everyone get some sleep and get ready for WEDNESDAY morning!

It’s the return of the Slush Pile! Alex and Mike (and a mystery guest!) work their way through some of those topics that have been sitting in the pile, but have never made it into the show. Sushi delivery, Facebook Enemies, Junk Food, Dead Bodies, and more. Comments Welcome!

I’ve got two more pages posted. Following Chuck’s meltdown at the campfire, what happens next?

I’m really trying to get this chapter finished before MoCCA next month, which is about 3 weeks away, I think. That way I’ll have three minicomics to sell, not just two. I’m starting to feel good about making it at this point. I know where the rest of the story goes in this part of the chapter, and for me that’s often the biggest hurdle. I would get pages finished a lot faster in general if someone had already written them out for me.

Wait, what? Two more Troop 142 pages in the same day? Yes, it’s true. And they were fun to draw as well, which is probably why I finished them so quickly.

Two new TROOP 142 pages posted. Who is the man in the mask?

Hicksville author Dylan Horrocks joins us in the lair to chat about tabletop gaming, Dungeons & Dragons, and storytelling. Dylan tells a story about being Batgirl in a roleplaying game situation that’s worth the price of admission alone. Comments Welcome!

I was the guest on two podcasts which were posted today.

The Weekly Midtown Comics Podcast. We talk about all my books, The Ink Panthers, and the meaning of friendship.

Kidsmomo Podcast. My friends Nancy and Karen host a great podcast for kids, where they recommend all sorts of children’s books. I came on as a graphic novel expert and also to talk about BONE and OWLY.

The Troop 142 tale continues, with five new pages posted. Jason and Tony’s acid hits start to kick in, and whatever happened to Chuck who went to bed, anyway?
