Templar: Because I won't be content until the cast size of this comic rivals The Simpsons.

New faces! Unless you look at the sketchbook. In that case, you might recognize them.

Pugs are sweet dogs, but I can't help but feel sorry for them. I don't think I have to explain why.

Also, photo!

I went out to dinner with the McClouds last Wednesday: Scott, Ivy, Sky, and Winter. In case you didn't know, Scott's basically a comics scholar and deconstructionist and stuff, and he's doing this Fifty-State Tour of appearances and speaking engagements and whatnot. While in Chicago, he and his lovely family made time for me and a bunch of other Chicago-area cartoonists and their various hangers-ons. I'd like to say the conversation was scholarly, but we mostly discussed crap films, car accidents, how bad our personal sites' traffic sucked. I also swore frequently in front of Scott's children. Because, you know, I forget sometimes. Fortunately, he didn't seem to mind. Or notice. Phew.

If you're insatiably curious about the identities of all the people pictured in this photo, I'll be reposting it much larger, and helpfully captioned, in the official McCloud Family Tour LJ community later today. But for now, sleep. Sweet, sweet sleep.

...

And hey, did you know Björk is basically the only person in the world who looks like Björk? Really. For the longest time, I thought she was indicative of something, and Iceland was a land full of dainty avant-rock pixie people. Turns out it's just a buncha norms. What a letdown.

so i finally poked around a little on the site after you mentioned the sketchbook. i LOVE the cast page. more More MORE. your falling poses totally capture each character. ben practically in fetal defense mode, reagan having fuck-it-all fun and eugene and zora 'happily descending into chaos' with eyes only for each other.

can't wait to see 'freckles' show up.

That is hands-down the best drawing of a pug I have ever seen.

Oh dear god I think that pug just ate my soul.

Kick-ass on the dinner then there.

Uh, the Bjork thing's not exactly true. Yea, she's an atypical Icelander, but I've met people who looked like her. They were generally at least partially of Asian or Iniut decent though.

Ha, speaking of Bjork, need to rember to go sit on the roof during her preformance. Only one small city away from Cochella, after all. Can hear quite a bit off the rocks.

Yeah, I was listening to random Bjorn on an internet radio station when I read that. A little odd, I'd think.
