Happy holidays everyone! Don’t forget to pencil my interview into your schedule for January 12 at 8pm central.
Have a great holiday, and I’ll see you all next week for Temple and @$$hole!

Sorry for the lack of update last week Friday, but I was working another 13+ hour day and after the weeks events at work (working from home while sick, working 17 hours the next day, and then pulling a 13 hour day) I was just too tired to update.
However, you’ll get some special pages for the holidays and I have a fun announcement!
I’m going to be interviewed on TGT Webcomics on January 12, so be sure to keep your calendar free at 8pm central time and listen in live. You can ask me questions about my comics, comics in general, or anything you want.
Alan Evans is going to be a special guest co-host. Be sure to check it out.
See you all Friday!
Got sick on Tuesday but thought I could suck it up and go into the office. Not a good idea. After getting off the train twice to try to avoid puking on the plethora of people riding the metal tube during rush hour, I was able to get myself into the office, grab what I needed, and ended up working from home. It was a slower day for me, but there is just too much to do to just be sick and not go into work. I took a nap for an hour, felt like crap for most of the day, and then decided to go to bed early.
Here’s hoping I feel better tomorrow.
The page is a little rushed because of the illness. I should’ve put another hour or two into it, but my eyes were burning and it felt like there was a gymnast training for the Olympics in my stomach. Ultimately it came down to not updating, or updating with something that was only so-so. Since I haven’t missed an update yet this year (and there’s only 3 weeks left), I wasn’t about to not update!
Talk about suffering for your work. 
Hopefully there will be a page Friday. A better page. It all depends on whether or not I can shake this illness.
Nominate TrevorAMueller.com in the 2009 Web Comic List Reader’s Choice Awards (no need to sign up, but it helps if you put in some info so they know you’re not a spambot). I’d take any nominations, but I’m specifically looking for:
- Best Writing
- The Innovation Award
- Best Supporting Character – Susie (or the crazy cat lady…or the waiter)

So you’ve no doubt noticed that the blogs have slowed down (or stopped), and part of this is because of a very busy planning season at work. But there are other things going on that you should also be aware of that I’m doing:
Reading with Pictures is a non-profit that my friend Josh Elder has started to help get comics in the classroom. For someone for whom Maus was required reading for history class, this is kind of a big deal. I’ve been working with a fantastic artist and a few editors to develop my 8-page contribution to this fantastic anthology, which will be out next year. Tonight, in fact, they’re having a fundraiser at Chicago Comics in Chicago, Il. I’ll be there, so show up and say hi.
Comic Creator’s Aliance is a charity started by two-time Harvey-nominated comic creator Lora Innes and I’m contributing to a piece that she’s putting together to help raise money and awareness about human trafficking. Lora’s done a few interviews about this already, and some of the stats that she has are truly frightening! There’s more slavery today that there was before the Civil War, and most of it is sexual in nature. Be sure to find out how you can contribute to this cause by visiting the website.
My good friend and Eisner-Award winning artist Jon Bivens has just entered into Zuda’s content with his entry The House Always Wins. Be sure to check that out and vote for it.
There are a slew of other things going on as well that cause me to not get enough hours of sleep at night (did I mention a busy planning season?), but these are the important ones worth mentioning.
Have a great weekend, all!
