PANEL 1: THE MACHITO descends through clouds, snow lightly falling. CAPTAIN (from inside the ship): You sure you don’t want to come to dinner, Nosh? It’s only a 400-meter walk through the snow. NOSH (from inside the ship): In Moscow, I learn to stay inside, except for three glorious days of summer. …I will stay here with Vehari pals. PANEL 2: NOSH, a large humanoid reptilian alien with huge eyes, hits a button with a “BAP!”, next to it is a sign reading “WARNING: Gangway hatch release”. THE CAPTAIN stands next to him, an older woman with glasses, wears a winter jacket with a fur-lined hood. NOSH: You crazy kids have fun. Say I to captain lady for us. CAPTAIN: We’ll bring you back a Grasskan dessert. PANEL 3: NOSH calls down as snow swirls in front of him. CUDDOW, an alien with 6 eyes, also wearing a winter coat with a fur lined hood, stands next to NOSH. NOSH: CAPTAIN! That is my love language! CUDDOW: Mine is “High Production Value Musicals,” so I get it. PANEL 4: CAPH, a Grasskan (a very large dinosaur-like alien, with a ring in his nose), wears a similar winter coat with fur-lined hood. CAPH: CAN I STAY TOO, CAPTAIN? I’m nervous to meet her. What if she blames me for what happened to my ship? Or for running away? PANEL 5: The CAPTAIN walks down the gangway into a bright white snowy environment. CAPTAIN: Cash, you were drafted into an impossible situation. You fought to stay alive when your leadership went suicidal. You’re a pure heart doing your best in an impure world. So let me do the talking, and don’t you worry. PANEL 6: THE MACHITO sits in deep snow, against a white landscape with mountains in the background. A deep trench extends from the gangway. NANDO, The CAPTAIN, and CUDDOW dig a trench through snow. CAPH follows behind her. No text. PANEL 7: Same panel as previous, CAPH is further down the walkway, the CAPTAIN is off panel. CAPH: You’re a good person! NOSH, peaking out from the ship: ONLY IF SHE BRING DESSERT! ——— Want to read the full story?

Quick bit of fun news!

Posted on June 9, 2023 by Dave Kellett
hey neat!

…DRIVE just got nominated for “Best Long Form Story” in the National Cartoonist Society Awards!

And to make things even more fun: It’s up against two cartoonists who I’d be proud to lose to! So that’ll make for a fun night in Jersey City!

I think I’ll make a trip of it with my pal Brad Guigar….so! That means I’ll probably do my first east-coast signing in 15 years! Would any NYC/Jersey/Connecticut/Pennsylvania folks come out, if I did that?* More info to come as we get closer to the Sept 7th Awards night!

*You can let me know over on the Patreon chats, or email me at [email protected]

International pals: ACT 3 now w/ better shipping!

Posted on February 14, 2023 by Beth Reidmiller

ACT 3 just got added to Amazon (link). This is good news if you’re outside the U.S., as this might be the cheapest way to get the book shipped to you. Aaaaand, it just so happens they have it on sale at the moment, 47%-off! So this is a good time to snag it. (The artist makes the same whether on sale, or normal price, btw.)

ACT 3 hardcover on sale on Amazon (47%-off, as of 2/14/23)

ACT 3 softcover on sale on Amazon (34%-off, as of 2/14/23)

ACT 2 hardcover on sale on Amazon (23%-off, as of 2/14/23)
