I’m posting daily diary comics from my trip to Israel on Flickr. Should I cross-post them here? I don’t know, that seems sort of redundant. Either way you should check those suckers out. One every day ’til I’m done (there are only ten).

Boy do they take longer than I initially suspected — but they’re also more rewarding than I thought they’d be, so I guess it evens out. Not like it’s got me seriously considering diary comics in the long-term though — especially since my normal life is even more boring than sleeping on planes.

Update: Okay, I’m cross-posting. See the first comic back-dated below. And stay tuned and all that.

I’ve finished the first chapter of a new book of short vignettes recounting my experience with Food Not Bombs — the good, the bad, the characters, the salt… I’m working on the next two chapters for a Xeric Grant application in September, but for the next few months this space will primarily be devoted to weekly installments of This is What Concerns Me. (Don’t worry, though, I’ll spare you from the ongoing And Now They Are Dead series until MJ is well-buried and the bad cartoon curse has been lifted.)

So stay tuned! And check out more Nine Gallons on my Flickr page. And please, give me some tips for how to sound less stiff when promoting myself.

I’ve really been dropping the ball lately on responding to sales requests for minicomics, so I decided to set up a PayPal store situation available to you over there in the sidebar. It’s pretty bare bones right now, but expect more cool purchaseable stuff in the near future. Please note, though, that for now, I am way behind on reprinting these comics, and will probably run out soon.

In related news, I won’t be at MoCCA this year after all since I’ve been a bad cartoonist and haven’t yet finished this new comic I’m working on. But it will be printed and ready for purchase by the end of the month.
