Good morning, ma’am.

Ahem—I am a minotaur, ma’am.

Don’t you go stomping around in there! I have Hummels in the china closet!

Angus (hesitant):
I… don’t… stomp…
Mrs. Elliot:
You’re brown. Does that mean you give chocolate milk?

That’s a myth, ma’am.

Ok… So put me down for a quart of regular and a pint of heavy cream.

Making Comics Fifty State Tour
My wife and I drove almost 500 miles with our two kids to visit her family last weekend. That was about 7 hours on the road — which is a lot of time to kill — so we talked about a lot of stuff. One of them was my fantasy to pack up the kids one summer into a rented RV and criss-cross the US going from comic convention to comic convention. We’d see America and hit a bunch of cons in the process.
And now I see that Scott McCloud has
beaten me to the punch!McCloud is doing much the same thing to promote his book,
Making Comics, a cartooning tutorial. It’s the third book he’s written on comics theory and it looks terrific. It looks like it’s going to become my
second-favorite how-to-draw-cartoons book.
