Whoot whoot! Work on the Codex of Many Tales vol. 1 is finished. First several rounds of edits complete. Just waiting for one more pass. But this baby should be going on press at the start of the week - ahead of schedule. it's great being part of such a talented team.

I did the original water color of Squirrelly for my dad about 15 years ago as a gift. Squirrely was always his favorite character. After my dad died the original the art was returned to me. I scanned it and cleaned it up a bit for a cover. it won't win any awards but it's pretty special to me

One of our readers pointed out this strip was published a year before the first John Wick movie. It doesn't end well for Bob.

Came across one of my old handdraw maps of the steam tunnels under Ball State (circa 1978). Not of much use to me today, but 47 years ago we spent three or four nights exploring the NetherDeep of BSU without a single casualty to glean this information.
