“The Cat’s Corn Hole” just sounded like such a fun name for a place. On the one hand, it sounds like a dive place, like a hole in the wall. On the other hand, it sounds like a kitty’s bum….
I’m starting to gear up for Wizard World Chicago next week. Been working on some special things, and also making sure that I have enough content to post while I’m away (and not make myself rush at the last minute to get it done either before or after the con). My plan is also to get the book off to the printer’s this weekend. While it won’t be available at Wizard World Chicago (which wasn’t a goal anyway, since I’m not exhibiting), it’ll be a good feeling to have it done and out.
Then when I get the proofs, I get to figure out how it’ll look. It’ll be a great test for future collections, to make sure that they are absolutely perfect.
The book will be available at Reactor in September, where I’ll probably be speaking about comics in some panels. Programming hasn’t been announced just yet for that con, but I’ve been talking to some people and it’s rather promising.
Also, if you haven’t done so yet, be sure to check out Erica Hampton’s website, as she’s the awesome person both taking the pictures and playing the Crazy Cat Loving Lady (who will have a name soon).
Now go vote for @$$hole!, if you haven’t already!

The very emotional final scene in this sequence, and even when I was doing touch-ups on Olivia’s artwork and lettering it I was crying.
Do yourself a favor, go back and re-read the sequence from the moment that Selphi gets stabbed and tell me if it flows well. Again, this is where I thought the series really found its voice.
And it’s certainly when the story changed.
And Selphi’s last words, “Why do they hate us?” is the question that I constantly ask whenever I hear about religious wars or tribal conflicts going on in the world. Sure, we all have different ideas and beliefs, but why do we have to kill for them? Why do we have to make it personal? Why do we have to hate each other?
I’m sure it’s asking a lot to say, “Can’t we all just get along?” but is it too much to ask, “Can’t there be another way other than killing?” Forgiveness has to start somewhere.
But I digress. This story is hardly ever going to turn any heads or open any eyes to the error or futility of old ways and bad blood. But if it could generate a little tolerance in the world – if even one person read this and decided to use their words instead of their fists – then it would have exceeded my wildest expectations.
We can only hope.

Here’s the first of the Blind Date story arc, and who’s this: it’s the Crazy Cat Loving Lady from the Vet Visit story arc! Played by none other than the lovely and talented Erica Hampton.
If you recall from the Vet Visit blogs, Erica is a professional photographer (recently specializing in weddings) who is incredibly talented and easy to work with, and gracious enough to allow me to borrow her time and equipment to make another crazy story involving her bizarre character. Unlike the Vet Visit story, however, this story isn’t entirely scripted. Sure, there were some beats that I knew we had to hit, but I only really had a general idea of what would happen while we were shooting this. The benefit is that the photoshoot only took 3-4 hours this time (as opposed to the Vet Visit, which took over 6 hours). Also unfortunately (more so for me than you), is that I have over 800+ photos to shift through and organize to direct this piece. And I’m not entirely sure yet just how long it’s going to be – but I have a goal in mind.
Suffice it to say, what you’re about to read is going to be a fun train wreck – a roller coaster of gags and goofy stuff, and maybe even a little back story. I’m going to work for those nominations, let me tell you!
So enjoy, and I’ll see you Friday with the next update!
