One of the questions I get asked often is: “El Santo, how come you never cover webcomic fanfiction?” OK, I so I never actually get asked the question. Ever. Heck, you’re probably kicking yourself because now you know that webcomic fanfiction exists, and you can do nothing to scrub that terrible thought from your [...]

It's going to take months to run all the new Desert Peach and Stinz AFTERDEAD strips at Webcomicsnation.

I have a whole new 64-page book to scan, including a lot of color and a night at the roller derby.

I'm getting closer to just putting all the books up at Lulu Going through distributors almost doubles the prices on all books, even more on color books.

Hi Cats!

I’m back to working on the strip although nothing has changed w/ my vision. Still don’t know what’s going on, but I plan to see another eye doctor on Sept 9th. We’ll see what happens. Work is going slow, but I may be able to get a once a week thing going starting next week. The plan now is to just do both COTC and Sebo for as long as I can. I’ll keep you all advised. Thanks again for all the support.

This month, I tackle the five finalists for September's Cartoon d'Or award, which will be presented at an animation festival in Germany on September 18. Read the reviews and see clips here, then e-mail my editors at this address to tell them that you enjoyed my reviews: editor@awn.com

It's a big day for my wife, who is today not only recovering from surgery by also getting her first-ever byline on a City Desk piece. It's the latest installment of Nice Work If You Can Get It, a non-saucy little number called "Having Your Cake and Respecting It In The Morning." Fun fact: The two best jokes in this one were hers. Eat up and enjoy!

Brian Daniel's Comics: You want a decsription? Read the comic and write it yourself. What am I, your mom?

It's wa-ay rough, and I'll catch shit if the guys heard I uploaded it, but we spent a decent part of the day recording and here's a rough cut of some new HangDog:




It needs some fantastic mandolin (by robbie) and a guitar lick he's got worked out, but for a rough, it's pretty decent.
