And it’s up. I’ll start penciling the next page tomorrow night. Maybe I’ll get something to post early next week, before I head to St. Louis for Bouchercon.

That’s my Mom and Dad in happier times. I keep thinking if him and my dog Adam, and the last line of an old movie starring Steve McQueen and Jackie Gleason: “Well, he’s got a good dog up there.”

Yes, it has been a while. Family illness, sorry about the radio silence.

The Scream

I had a chance to do a bunch of writing this past weekend. Plotted a number of pages at the Detroit Fanfare, which was pretty fun. Great to meet and talk with comics fans.
Here’s the next page I’m working on:

It’s just getting started, but Bouchercon is underway. Panels I’m interested in feature authors like Val McDermid, Gary Phillips, Tom Schreck, Peter Spiegelman and, well, a host of others.

The Jordans, of Crimespree Magazine fame, have put together a terrific program and you can’t two steps without seeing a author you’d love to spend some time with. And you can, everyone’s accessible and friendly. If you’ve never been to a con like this, it’s a great way to recharge your creative energy.

And this goes on for four days in downtown St. Louis. If you’re in the neighborhood, there are single day tickets available.
