Panel 2
Cassie Cruz: For the past few weeks, it seems as if the superheroes have been using inside information to thwart our clients.
Panel 3
Jeremy: I’ve heard. We may have a mole.
Panel 4
Cassie Cruz: The employees think it’s me!
And they’re mad as hell!
Panel 5
Jeremy: That’s ridiculous.
This very morning, Desi wanted to bring you a hot cup of coffee as soon as you got to the office!
She even asked how you take it.
Panel 6
Jeremy: Did she make it strong enough?
Panel 7
Cassie Cruz: I dunno… Let’s ask it.
(Cassie lifts an overturned bucket on her desk, revealing a coffee cup where the coffee has turned into a monstrous creature, growling and snapping.)

Greystone Inn archives: The Book Tour
In 2001, my first collection of
Greystone Inn comics was being published by
Plan Nine Publishing. To promote this, I devoted a storyline to Argus and the gang going on a promotional book tour. Ham-handed caricatures abound in this one, including Oprah, Larry King, Katie Couric, and Howard Stern.
It also has an interesting passage in which Mac — meeting up unexpectedly with an ex-girlfriend — is not only beset by a shoulder-angel and a shoulder-devil, but miniature embodiments of his id, ego, super-ego, and conscience… all of whom compete to direct his response to her amorous advances.
It’s a fun storyline and I bring it up solely because I’m thinking a lot about books and publishing today.
See, there’s something big I’ve got to share with you guys.
…But that’s a post for another day. 🙂
