Sorry for the week with no new pages--catching up from the trip to Expozine took longer than I thought (check out my report here). Anyway, we're back on track! New page comin' Thursday!

And just like that, there's only fifty pages of this cockamamie thing left! I seriously doubt I'll be able to get a new page up on Tuesday, as I'll just be getting back from Expozine in Montreal the night before, but I should be able to have Page 71 up by Thursday (or failing that, the following Tuesday).

For your consideration, a new page...more later this week. I'm gonna try like hell to stick to my schedule, although it's gonna be tough...in two weeks time I'll be off to Montreal for ExpoZine, and this past weekend was Hal-Con here in Halifax. I had a great time talking to folks and doing some drawings for kids, which if nothing else, taught me I need to be drawing pretty much every day to keep my skills sharp. All of this conventioneering is great for getting new folks into my books, but it unfortunately takes time away from working on said books. However, I did get to hang out with comics superstar Darwyn Cooke for two afternoons, which was terrific. Cal took this great shot of him reading SLAM-A-RAMA...maybe there's a PARKER crossover in the works? Er, not likely. Still, cool photo! Pretty exciting.

Another Thursday, another new page. In other news, I'll be at the Strange Adventures table at this weekend's Hal-Con Sci-Fi convention, selling SLAM-A-RAMA #1 and 2 and SCENESTER: THE INEVITABLE COLLECTED EDITION, as well as trying desperately to siphon off some of the coolness of other guests like Darwyn Cooke and Faith Erin Hicks. And finally, we have yet another Mike Holmes drawing, this time of Andar The Berserker! I should have just gotten this guy to draw the book...

Thanks to everyone who came out to buy SLAM-A-RAMA and SCENESTER this past Saturday! If you missed the 'Zine Fair, all three Tuco Comics releases are now on sale at the Halifax and Dartmouth Strange Adventures locations (and Fredericton should have some later this week), as well as Obsolete Records at 2454 Agricola Street. My pal Sean Jordan should be back in Toronto by now with a pile of them as well, and he'll have them at the Silver Snail at 367 Queen Street West this week sometime.

And Mike Holmes can't stop with the fan art! Here he is again with a wicked cool rendition of everyone's favourite drugged-out spider enthusiast, Terry "The Tarantula" Purvis! Thanks, Mike!
