Part of the reason I'm hesitant to collect Eva stuff in general is that nobody ever even makes any damn Shinjis, much less Gendo.  Stupid teenage girls!

(Gendo, like Batman, is comedy gold.)

Don't forget, Shortpacked! Book 4 is still up for preorder!  It's still $1k short of our preorder goal.  If that goal isn't made, neither are the books!  Meanwhile, I'm still plowing through the nitty gritty of Book 4's creation, and it's going to be huge.  I mean, I said it was gonna be 200 pages, but 200 pages covers a lot of ground!  That's almost a whole year of strips.  (And it would be, if not for the additional content, such as the TNI strips.)

Also, oh, right, that Ethan statue is also still up for preorder.  Not to be confused with certain other statues.

Just a link this week.

And no botched lyrics in this one, I promise.

Yay, I'm home!  ...and my desktop computer decided to stop finding wireless networks while I was gone.  WELL THAT'S FUN.  GOD DAMMIT.  Can I get home from a convention and actually have everything be normal?  Apparently not.

Anyway, me news -- The Laughing Ogre here in Columbus is having a FF #1 thing on Wednesday.  (Apparently it's just literally "FF" now, so trying to spell out what the acronym means is counter to informational purposes.)  The Laughing Ogre is having a sale with 15% off Fantastic Four trades and 25% off Fantastic Four back issues. And if you buy the FF #1 "blank cover" you will get a sketch on it from one of the local artists in residence.  One of those local artists is me! So if you've got a hankering for a doodle of HERBIE, I'm totally your man from noon to about 6 or 8.

I may also learn to draw the Thing.

Personally, I find Justin Bieber to be pretty inoffensive all around, but whatcha gonna do.

Hey, look, I'm back!  My first comic drawn in many, many days.  So, of course, enjoy my talking heads.
