You guys, it’s been a long, emotional few weeks, but I’m looking forward to being friends with you again.
In the last month, I completed, printed, and bound my thesis at The Center for Cartoon Studies, went to the MoCCA Festival in New York, received my MFA(!), and engaged in celebration and revelry with some of the dearest people in my life.
This will be a brief post, but I’m hoping to get back on the blogwagon pretty soon. I’ve been thinking a lot of thoughts lately, and I’d like to post said thoughts on the internet so that people can engage in a dialogue using all-caps broken language.
In the meantime, here are a couple of neat things:
Here is what this year’s CCS diplomas look like, drawn by the wonderful Elenoar Davis: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cartoonstudies/7188596442/
Here is the gift the CCS Class of 2012 made for faculty member Alec Longstreth (Careful! It’s 1.2 MB!)
Alec is moving back to the West Coast, so to thank him for everything he brought to CCS, we found a spread from Uncle Scrooge Comics by Carl Barks (Alec’s favourite cartoonist), and each student in the class redrew one of the panels in their own style. Here is the orinal spread:
I’ll post a more thorough reflection on my time at CCS in the future, but in the meantime, I’ll simply say thanks for everything, CCS.
And now to get back to Canada!

dw, my friend and fellow CCS studio soldier, has been asking cartoonists to draw themselves riding various giant animals with him. So, here is a picture of me and him riding a giant platypus. Or are we just tiny and riding a regular platypus? Only science can say for sure!

It’s been a while since I’ve done a proper post on this dusty old blog of mine. Classes at the Center for Cartoon Studies have been keeping me pretty busy, and I’ve been preparing to table at the MoCCA Festival this weekend in New York … not to mention the top-secret side project I’ve been working on(!)
Leave Luck to Heaven is a 32 page minicomic about the two gamers who occasionally show up in my Dailies. Take a peak inside…
Did I mention that there’s a colour spread in the book and that the whole thing looks like an NES instruction manual? If you feel like you’re not getting enough spiritual and aesthetic fulfillment from your video games, this book can help.
Also debuting at MoCCA is Holy Shit: A Comics Anthology. This is the book I did with Amelia Onorato, Moody, and Sean K., last year, and it’s finally available to all who are holy or shitty. This book is 64 pages, with a gold screenprint cover, faux-gilded edges, and a ribbon bookmark to keep your place as you read through our reactions to religion.
Also available at this show: Fable Funnies, and a full colour mini with 24 of my favourite non-autobiographical Dailies!
So, to my tens of readers out there, if you’re in New York on April 9th and 10th, I hope you’ll take in the comics madness that is MoCCA. I’ll be at table M-1 with Andy Warner, Billage, Melanie Gillman, and Nate Wooters. In fact, there is going to be a metric ton of CCS pals it this general area. Just think, an infinite nunber of cartoonists all under a single roof…
Hope to see you there!
