By popular request (well, a couple of requests), a close up on that coin Felix keeps on his personal altar.
Actually, that’s not very close up now that I see it on screen. Hmm.

The 2012 Eisner Award nominations are chock full of great books by great people, including lots of friends—including:
- Best Publication for Kids (ages 8-12): The Ferret’s a Foot by Colleen AF Venable and Stephanie Yue (omigosh this series is so cute and funny why aren’t there cuddly toys and an animated series yet??)
- Best Digital Comic: Outfoxed, by Dylan Meconis (omigosh this comic is so amazing and so is Dylan and look at this nifty gift art from her)
- Best Archival Collection/Project – Strips: Tarpé Mills’s Miss Fury Sensational Sundays, ed. by Trina Robbins (Omigosh Trina is a legend, and I’m thrilled to get to work with her on several books for kids)
Publishing professionals, comic book store retailers, and creative artists are eligible to cast votes in the many different categories.
Good luck to Trina, Stephanie, Colleen, and Dylan! I hope some of their coolness rubs off on me!
P.S.: The sidebar sponsors look very cool today. You should click! 
So, I thought I’d try out International Fake Journal Month, to go along with the 796-page magnum opus romance novel to be completed this week…

Click on the image to see a mock-up of the back cover, with descriptive copy, proposed illustration, content warning, Surgeon General’s notice, and an octopus in a squid suit.
The book will be 796 pages with a print size of 1-1/2×2 inches, and the word balloons will only be readable through a jeweller’s loupe. Please be sure to donate to production costs on Kickstarter, where the target goal is $300,000, so that I can get this finished in a week or so and get back to the Romans after the holidays.
