I've just returned from Emerald City Comicon in Seattle, and hot diggety: What a great weekend. Seattle: You know how to show wandering cartoonists an amazing weekend. Thanks for coming out, and thanks for the many kind words for Sheldon & Drive. You have no idea how much that kind of thing powers me through the rest of the year.
Thank you!

1.) I want to thank everyone for their patience and kind words for Drive, as I get through a particularly intense work period on the film, Stripped. As I said in January, Drive isn't going anywhere, it's just taking a temporary hit to the ol' update schedule. But I'm really thankful that the strip is missed so much: Drive is the great love of my creative life...and I can't wait to get back to it.
In our first bit of good news, Drive will be updating twice a week in April. I'm very much looking forward to it!
2.) Also! For true-blue fans of Drive: I'll be giving out free sketches and signing copies of the Drive books Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Wondercon. Located this year in Anaheim, CA, the show has me at booth #615...right next to a trio of talent: Kris Straub of Starslip/Chainsawsuit, David Malki of Wondermark, and Danielle Corsetto of Girls With Slingshots.
I'll be bringing all the Sheldon and Drive books, prints and posters for anyone looking to round out their collection. Come on out!
Just wanted to share this fantastic fan-art from Robin Dempsey, of Skitter and Nosh. I find it fantasatic.
