24 November 2009: Beeyootiful art from Dylan Meconis! Heralding the imminent return of the Blues...
Boom, soon
Tuesday, 13 October 2009: Today's comic could be considered (mildly, as always) to have a mature theme, so see it here

12 October 2009:
You're a braver man than I
Previously: Sign on the dotted line
Crisis of conscience
Under covers of darkness
I've tried to clarify the legalities as pointed out in comments. Is Mus over or under 20 years old? How can Iusta be a witness? How many witnesses do you need to free a slave? Don't you need to perform a ceremony in front of a magistrate of some sort? And so forth. (Answers: maybe, she can't, hard to say but eventually decided to be 5, no you don't.)

What's cooking 
I met the supernice person who sent the cool museum goodies! Hurrah!!

20 September 2009: More news for while you're waiting for a comic: The new Menander buttons are in, and I think Mod Buttons did an awesome job. Thanks to everyone for voting on the colour version. I really do like it a lot and I'm glad I went with that idea. I'll have these at SPX next weekend, along with the other designs, and if anyone not going to a con wants buttons or minicomics, I'll figure out a way to do that.

To Boldly Saw18 September 2009: I have some illustrations for a paying project that I absolutely have to work on today, I'm cleaning up SPQR Blues chapter 2 so a decent-looking minicomic can be put together for SPX comic con in Bethesda, MD, next weekend, so there may not be a comic tonight. In the meantime, here's a preview of my page in Colleen Venable's mighty Lumberjacks Past, Present, and Future project, premiering at SPX. It was nice to draw the future for once. Because this is totally what the future will look like.

December 2008: I am utterly loving the French version of SPQR Blues translated by faithful and industrious reader Wood. The entire Chapter One archive, Des objets de valeur, is available, and Chapter Two is moving along at a nice pace.

9 September 2008 Fan Art! Yay! T.M.P. says, "Let me offer some fan art on the altar of patience while you enjoy your rightfully earned vacations.... I remembered I should practise roman writing and so I let them write 'Cal. Speudon is a dirty pig' on a wall." I absolutely love this (and not just because I get to see the guys again without actually having to draw them... though that's part of it :D ).

You can always check progress (and sometimes see spoiler pencils) up at the top of the page or on Twitter (if I manage to remember I have a Twitter account). In the meantime, visit some of the sidebar banners on the right and visit the links page for some fun/interesting/truly weird stuff.
