As of August 8^th, 2008, there's one more son of a webcartoonist in the world.  My wife and I are very pleased to announce the birth of our first child. The baby, who shall be known as “J.P.” until a name is formally approved by an international board of grandparents, was born three weeks early. Apparently he didn't want to miss the start of the Olympics.

In order to keep Ataraxia Theatre going over the next few months, I'm looking for some volunteers who would be willing to draw a single page (8 to 12 panels) of Mischa's Story.

Since webcartoonists are such busy people, I'll sweeten the deal a bit. When the story is finished it will be collected in a print volume and I'll send a copy to each of the contributors along with a handwritten note expressing my undying gratitude. It'll be just like an anthology except without the ology!

Full details of the project can be found at this page:  http://ataraxiatheatre.com/draw-for-me/

The first part of Mischa's Story, drawn by me, can be seen here:  http://ataraxiatheatre.com/2008/06/30/live-from-yatate/

Details about the universe in which this story is set, and a picture of J.P., can be seen here:  http://www.gearheadrpg.com/
