Sketch: You don't know her.

But you will.

That's right! 250-ish pages in and I still haven't introduced a relatively important character. And yet, you continue to read. Strange of you.

And now, because people have been asking, a BOOK 2 PRE-ORDER BREAKDOWN. The two most important bits of information:

PRE-ORDERS WILL BEGIN IN MAY. This is also the month TAZ's second collection will be solicited in Diamond's Previews. I'm consolidating!

There will be a goal bar for the amount needed to cover the print bill, just like last time, so everyone can witness either my startling triumph or monumental failure. Also, like last time, the print version of TAZ will feature remastered art, author's notes, and sketches. 148 pages of the stuff!

PRE-ORDERS WILL COME IN SEVERAL FLAVORS. I will most likely NOT be offering sketches or commissions this time around. I mean JESUS, is till have some of those left to do. :( What will be up for grabs are deluxe pre-roder packages with limited edition shirts and both books, just the new book and a shirt, things like that. As previously stated, some misprints will also be on offer! Can't see your way to paying more than $5.00 for a copy of Templar? Well, shit, YOU'RE IN LUCK.

Back to work...

Hurray! Now I just have to make sure I don't forget come May.

Hey, I remember her! You did a sketch of her in a dress ages back!

Oh Eli, this is why you don't mix tomcatting with that much booze.

That's too bad. For volume two I was going to ask for a picture of Ben in a life or death game of Scrabble with a cat.

I don't like how your ads are telling me to read the comic simply because I don't have a girlfriend. What are they trying to imply?

Yikes, I didn't know emails were published!
Just sayin.

I am really hoping that this is Cascade Abalone. She looks like the type who would write the word "scarificators" and dot the i with a little heart.

@Andrew - it's not an email. You're commenting on a blog. Did...ah...did the fact that you could read the other comments above not tip you off that people would be able to read yours?

@stacey, he means you can click on the name of the poster and e-mail them.

I'm not big on t-shirts, but I'd be happy to pay a few extra bucks to pre-order and get it signed...

If you don't want your email published, just enter a web address, any old one will do, under URL and your email won't show.

The html for this page *sorta* encodes our email addresses by replacing the non-alpha characters with their numeric equivalents. Still, I'm a little surprised I haven't gotten more spam.

why am i stuck on thinking that is Zora's mom.

christa: Probably because she looks a little like Zora and her dangly vial-shaped necklace is similar to the one Gene wears. I keep thinking the same thing-- but she does have a lot more hair than I'd expect on a nice Jakeskin girl.

It's freckle girl!! I remember seeing a sketch of her, some time ago. But I imagine those same freckles which give her the little extra charm are a pain and a half to draw. Because you know she's gotta have those freckles pretty much all over her body.

I'm guessing she's Ben's non-adopted sister, or maybe ex-girlfriend? Perhaps she tracks Ben down in Templar and complicates things a bit?

Thanks Jerry!

The filename is "Morgan", so I'm guessing she's neither Zora's mom nor Cascade Abalone (I still can't get over that name. It's nearly as bad as Lemonjello and Orangejello.)
