Housekeeping!

I got something else in the mail, recently.

It's my contributor's copy of MAXIM Singapore, which ran a full page on Beavis, my pet rat.

When The Beav died of lung disease, I mummified him in the ancient Egyptian style, and I still have him around. He smells like a head shop and seems about as happy as a dead rat can be. I documented the whole process here, if you'd like to take a look. But it contains quite a lot of rat disembowelment, so consider yourself warned.

Takes me back to my Junior Egyptologist days down at the public library, camping out in the Children's Literature section and reading everything they could offer on mummies, mummification, and The Book of the Dead.

WARNING: BOOKS GIVE YOU IDEAS.

Anyway, in comics news: I'm still getting pre-orders for the Templar collection, which is fine and dandy, because I'm still accepting them! There is no deadline to pre-order the book. But ONLY the $15.00 option, unless we have a pre-arranged agreement. (You emailed me about snail-mailing a $25.00 or $50.00 check before the meter hit goal, for example.) I have a lot of sketches and commissions to do, and I wouldn't feel right adding to that pile. Sorry, guys.

The pre-order page is still up, and it's been transformed into a production journal. There's not much there now, but it should update every couple days from now on, just to let you guys in on how things are going. Right now, I'm shooting for a end-of-February publishing date.

Anyway, back to work with me. Thanks, guys!

Wow! I'm kind of awestruck. They even have a link to your website.

More brave than me, thats for sure. I couldn't even get through disecting a worm in biology class way back in high school.

On a different note, when I play WoW and I am in need of a repair or to sell my junk, I always go to my good friend Reagen Mancuso in the Thrallmar in (and marvel at the amazing amount of weight she has lost!) I'm so glad I play horde. btw, I have told guild mates about her & mentioned your comic too, so hopefully she's turned a couple more people onto your stuff.

Oh man, I'll have to tell all the goonzzz in Famiglia di Ythrl about Reagan next time I log on.

I wish I had a Horde character high enough to go through the Dark Portal. All of the Alliance Outlands lore is pretty boring. :smith:

Oh well, I don't play any MMORPGs 'cuase I'm poor and only get to use the internet at the library.

And books DO give people ideas. My friend Mike thinks that anyone who read Ayn Ran is going to be an asshole for at least a week after they've finished reading one of her books. I guess that's why he stopped talking to me after I started reading The Fountianhead.

*shrug*

That's awesome! I'm going to taxidermy my chinchilla when he dies.

Probably be a tiny little heart attack, fat bastard.
