It’s Friday, and I’ve got four new Troop 142 pages posted. This seems to be becoming a pattern, so maybe I ought to just commit to updating once a week.

In this scene we see the two Davids escorting Zack over to the Nurse’s office after Zack fell off the Monkey Bridge. This sequence deserves a little “NSFW” warning, I think, just for language.

In related news, I just wanted to point out that I am cross-posting Troop 142 to the ACT-I-VATE webcomics collective. I post updates every Tuesday. I’ve been putting up large chunks in an effort to get both sites on the same page. Maybe when I’ve caught up on AIV, that might be a good time for me to make Tuesday my updates day, and post new pages to both sites. It feels a little clumsy posting at different rates right now, but I think it’s all worthwhile. There’s definitely folks who’re seeing the comic over at AIV who hadn’t been seeing it when it was buried over here on my website.

ACT-I-VATE is pleased to announce its first appearance at The Brooklyn Book Festival come Sunday, September 13th.

I’m putting my serialized comic, Jack & Max Escape From the End of Time, on hiatus for the month of August, planning to return sometime in September. I need to spend a little time with the script, and away from the drawing table. I will post announcements about it’s return date once I figure all that out.

Event starts at 6PM. I’ll be there for a few hours around that time, with wife and baby in tow. I encourage anyone in the area to come out – it should be awesome!

Apologies for the small update, but last week was killer, with Passover, Easter, and an unfortunate bout of food poisoning (I do not recommend the “Potage” soup from the Red Hook Fairway!).

In more pleasant news, I was happy to see this morning the first review (brief as it is) of Ace-Face, over on the Inkstuds blog. As mentioned in the review, Robin will be interviewing me later today, though the audio won’t be going online for a few weeks. Rest assured, I will link to that audio once it goes live.

The story continues with three new pages posted here.

Also, speaking of Jack & Max, there’s a 12 page full-color story featuring the battling brothers in the new POPGUN anthology from Image comics, shipping to stores this week. I got my comp copy in the mail yesterday, and it looks great. I urge everyone to check it out!

I’m back from last week’s break with three new Jack & Max pages. Check them out.

Note: I’ll be out of town next week, and unable to post new pages. Hopefully this extra-long installment will hold everyone over until I return two weeks from today.
