Family Man update!

Page 166 now online.

Well!  Welcome to 2010, everybody.  It makes me a leeeetle bit ill to think that this will be year 4 of Family Man and me only at page 166, but then, this comic was designed to be a learning experience and an ongoing project rather than an efficient StoryBlast.  I’m an immensely better artist and stronger storyteller than I was circa 2006 thanks to the weekly grindstone this comic offers (and the feedback you provide).  Thanks for your continued interest, those of you who follow along at home.

I’ll be hauling up to Seattle to take care of my pops, who got his whole dang knee replaced this week; I look forward to many amusing conversations involving the influence of painkillers and many exotic therapy routines performed with rainbow-hued rubber bands. Next week’s page is a simple one, so I’ll be updating while away, although the page for the 20th might come in late.

If you have any store orders, get ‘em in within the next 12 hours, or else it’ll just wait for me to get back.

Cheers, all!  Happy New Year.

    The Wednesday update formula definitely gets my mind going. It’s like a built in suspense engine. When I saw this scene unfolding I went into my bestiary books trying to figure out what that plant was. I came up for air a few hours later, empty-handed and embarrassed at how long I spent trying to figure it out.

    Haha! I apologize for sending you on a wild plant chase. I promise that while some of the background stuff in this comic does have Literary Symbolism, no important plot information will be concealed within a taxonomic classification.

    It’s more like Spot The Symbol bingo, or as I prefer to think of it, Mess With The Grad Student Writing A Thesis On This Comic in 2036.

    • If you are one of the VERY few people left who hasn't gotten your (non-watercolor) pre-order, you get pick-up service and free extras!
    • At SPX: Patches and bookplates left over from pre-order packages, oh yes, and that whole book never before sold on the East coast.
    • Tribute is still the best, though. Whenever I'm making out with Caslon, I'm secretly thinking about Tribute. http://bit.ly/c32Veu
