Hello everyone. Brian and I are taking a short break this week from updating. Life has crept up on us and we were unable to get the next page ready. Brian’s buying a new house, and I’m overwhelmed at work, so please forgive us. We’ll update as soon as we can. Have a good week.

So I’ve got two things this week to talk about. One is that I’ve now been told that I look like “McSteamy” by two separate people on two separate occasions. I don’t watch Gray’s Anatomy, but I’ll take the compliment, and I’ll try not to let it go to my head. And speaking of keeping myself humble…

The second thing I wanted to share was that I messed up good this week. For awhile now, I had been planning on going to the Toronto FanExpo at the end of August so that we can get some much needed promotion for the webcomic. I’ve really been looking forward to this, but between creating promo items and thinking up ways to network I forgot to actually reserve a table in Artist’s Alley. So I call up the people running the Con and find out that they’re all booked up and have been for a while. I guess planning ahead is not one of my strong suits.

I still have the hotel room booked, and I still plan on going. Except now I’ll be going as a fan and not as a industry professional (and I use those terms loosely). It’ll still be fun, but man I’m kicking myself for letting this opportunity slide by. Next year I won’t make the same mistake.

The twelve-year-old kid in me liked the new movie...

Hello again! Hope this week finds ya doing well. I’m particularly stoked because I purchased my ticket yesterday to Fan Expo Canada 2009! Is anyone out there gonna be in Toronto the weekend of August 28th? ‘Cause I’m gonna need some nerd friends to share the weekend with. (Brian is buying a house, so he can’t join me. Jerk.)

I’ll be there all three days, and I’m staying in the hotel where the convention is, so I fully expect to live up the adult geek high life. It’ll be my first trip to this particular con, but I’m confident that I can not come across as too much of a newbie. Any recommendations to a first-timer?

See ya later!

So that's what's wrong with me...

Hey friends.

Here’s the deal: Brian is buying a new house next week. This week he and his wife are packing up and getting ready for the move. He’s had zero free time, and has not been able to pencil any new pages. Hence, there is no new comic this week.

We may not have a comic for next week either, because we just don’t know how the move will go. Please accept our humble apologies for the temporary break. We will return, and it will be cool. Promise.

In the meantime, I’m going to the Toronto Fan Expo this weekend and I’ll take lots of pics to post next week. If you’re there, look for the guy in the DarkRaven t-shirt and say ‘hello’.

Zexcellent!
