Rose City Comic-Con this weekend!

If you are in Portland this Saturday or Sunday, you gotta come to Rose City Comic-Con! I will be at booth 802 with Aaron Diaz and Tyson Hesse, signing stuff and drawing dumb pictures. And of course, there will be plenty of swag from all three of our comics on sale there, as well. It should be fun!

Sam and Fuzzy Q & A: Conned Out Edition

"The “New Reader” button takes both newcomers and nostalgic readers (like me) to comic 1046. That’s all fine and dandy, but now we’re pushing 800 comics between that and the most recent comic. Any words on when, if ever, that’ll change?" -Jack

Traditionally, the New Reader section has suggested starting at the beginning of the current major multi-year story arc. In the past, it pointed to the start of Noosehead. Since that arc wrapped, it's pointed to the start of Fix Your Problem.

The current arc is my longest yet -- we're in the middle of volume 4 of it right now, and there is still a ways to go! I still think Fix Your Problem is the most logical place to start reading it, but I wrote the beginning of the current Volume, Sam and Fuzzy Ruined Everything, as another potential entry point for new readers, and may update the new reader page to reflect that option at some point.

"Weren't you working on a new website design?" -Susan

I swear, it's still coming. Really! The visual design is done, but there's some new back-end stuff as well, and that's still being finished up. But we're getting there!

Double down

I have arrived in Portland, home of eight-billion cartoonists! It's always fun to visit here... there are few cities as comics-friendly and creator-rich as this one.

I'll be spending a couple of days drawing here -- time to get started on those Omnibus bookplates -- before I go to this weekend's Rose City Comic-Con! (Where I will be exhibiting at booth 802 with my pals Aaron Diaz and Tyson Hesse.) Hope to see some of you there, Portlanders!

Double down

I don't do double-page spreads in Sam and Fuzzy because... well... here on the site, the pages are always stacked on top of each other, rather than side by side! But in today's strip, the two backgrounds are indeed two halves of the same setting. If you're curious, you can see what I mean here:



This weekend is Rose City Comic-Con in Portland! If you're going to be at the show, you can find me hanging out in the general vicinity of the Topatoco booth. (AKA: booth 802.) See you there!
