Edmonton Expo starts Saturday
Today, Shannon and I are making the trek through the rocky mountains to this year's Edmonton Expo! If you are going to be at the show, you can find me -- along with my pal Alina from Weregeek -- at booth #400. Can... and should. OR ELSE.
Next week -- the first of my post-con season -- is when I'll really be sinking my teeth into all the commissions and bookplates I'll be making for kickstarter backers. Starting next Friday, I'm going to be doing a few livestreams for folks who want to watch me draw 'em. (Livestream has kindly lifted the 50-viewer maximum from my streaming account, so that won't be a limiting factor anymore!) During each stream, I'll answer any reader questions... and I'll try to squeeze in a couple extra commissions for folks who missed out on the kickstarter, too. It should be fun!!
LAST CHANCE SHIRT NOTICE!
To make room for new swag, we are saying a fond farewell to the Ninja Mafia Coat of Arms shirt. It will be pulled from the Topatoco site any day now, so if you want one, get in while the getting is good!

Wonderful
Today I packed up a ton of swag for this weekend's Edmonton Expo. We're bringing a record ten shirt designs with us this year, along with all my books and some copies of the Waterlogged anthology Shannon and I contributed to. And of course, I'll be doing a bunch of original drawings and commissions as well -- so there should be plenty of cool stuff to choose from!
Today I also took a stab at The Wonderful 101. At no point did I have the slightest idea what was going on or what I was doing. But I really like the concept, which is sort of like Pikmin with Power Rangers. Everyone says the game starts to click once you've played it for a bit... I'm not sure how long it'll be before I have time to hit that threshold, but we'll see how it goes!

Portland to Edmonton
Thanks for a swell Rose City Comic-Con, Portland! As always, we hate to leave your beautiful city... but we've gotta head home and start getting ready for this weekend's Edmonton Comic Expo. Truly, there is no rest for the cartoonists. (That's how the expression goes, right?)
In the meantime, team, enjoy today's comic. And see you on Wednesday for the next one!
