If you're looking for a refresher on Fig Pig's creation, the answers are in our Trade Secrets story! Short version: he was created at stationery conglomorate Sanpresto -- one of Natalie Grave's companies -- in an attempt to create a living version of their Hello Kitty-esque mascot. But it's a fun story to read in its entirety if you haven't before!

This weekend, I will be appearing once again at the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival! I hope to see lots of you there, Vancouverites.

Book Preorders and Patreon Goodies

Two notes of note today, team!

First of all, today's the last day to get your preorder in for my new books! I've seen the preview copies, and they look very swanky. And Missing Inaction is full of a ton of exclusive bonuses, including commentary and concept art, Butcher and Baker comics, Malcolm's Conspiracy Blog, and a big (colour!) art gallery!

And second, all of our May Patreon rewards are now available to Patreon backers! As always, there's wide assortment fun bonuses you can get depending on your backer level, including a new poll to vote in, a new issue of our e-magazine, new Art Vault updates, and a pair of new pin-ups for the Saucy Hippo tier. (Including a goofy mermaid-themed piece from Jess for "Mer-May", which is apparently a thing.)

We return on Wednesday for our next comic. See you then!

Toronto Comic Arts Festival This Weekend!

Torontonians! I have travelled to your fair city for this weekend's TCAF! If you're going to come to the show -- and you totally should, because it's free! -- you can find me at the Topatoco booth on the third floor (booth #321-323). I'll have books, t-shirts, and posters, and I'll be doing a bunch of custom art commissions, too!

Come back on Monday for our next comic, team. See you then!
