Pop Quiz!

I drew this a couple of days ago. (At least I think it was a couple of days ago. Had another surgery and the painkillers are messing with my sense of time.) Be sure to share your answers!

We'll be going into it in MUCH more detail when the time comes, of course.

Musical Interlude

I used to be so good at updating, but starting in the beginning of 2017, I really slowed down. Things have been pretty shitty on my end, and I've blamed my lack of updates on private matters taking priority. A moment's reflection, though, tells me that's horsehockey. Before then, I was cranking out pages even when slammed at work.

Well, long story short, my doctor sent me to a brain docto...

What were they thinking, page 51-B

Finally, here is the second half of this page. Really simplistic stuff here, I know. But you know me, I always start by presuming zero prior knowledge. More substantive stuff is on the way!

New pages incoming!

As you've probably noticed, 2018 has not been kind to this comic. Just as I've come up for air from one time sink or private emergency, another has come along to push this project deep onto the back burner.

I'm probably jinxing myself here, but it's looking like I can start posting on something like a schedule again. Cross your fingers. And many, many thanks to all of you who've stuck with me in...

What were they thinking? pg 50

Looks like she's launching into one of her mythbusting history lessons, again. Let's hope the narrator guy keeps her focused so we can get to the actual LAW stuff soon!

I'm making this post public, so prospective patrons can see the kind of high-rez images you amazing Patreons normally get a day or two before the screen-rez images go live on the comic. (Hi, prospective patrons!)

Much more ...

What were they thinking? pg 30

It's Friday! Here's the first of another two pages! Second one's going up in a minute...

This one was fun to draw. My wife's a fashion designer, but I'm proud to say I didn't ask for her help even once!

(It probably shows...)

We just don't talk about that.

So the latest page is up. In which we talk at GREAT length about one of those things polite people just don't... TALK about... don't you know.

I really tried to get it to fit as a post here on Patreon. But it's really huge. And if there's a way to make it work, I couldn't figure it out. No worries, there is some Patreon-exclusive content coming your way shortly! Not longly!

Sorry, I'm very...

It Was You! pg 91

Ordinarily, I only post these full-size versions to the $10+ Patreons. But every now and then I post one for everyone, as a bit of a sample. 

These panels aren't as detailed as some, but it was fun to draw! (And it's also based on a true story from my early years as a prosecutor. Except I didn't throw papers in the air -- I shoved my intern out of his chair. And I did it in front of the...

Great. Which one of you pissed off Pi?

Maybe she's upset with me for not doing any drawing over Christmas. Okay, okay, I'm getting to it now. Jeez.

Work In Progress

Sighing to myself at all this lineart I still have to color in.

I had too much fun playing with perspective lines to help tell the story, I guess, and now it's time to pay for it.

It Was You! pg 77

Thanks again to you all for your patronage. I really do appreciate it. I recently had to upgrade my hosting yet again to handle the insane traffic I'm getting now and then, and you guys made that possible.

I'm making this one available to all, so they can see what the $10 and up Patreons are getting: a 2800 x 3400 high-resolution image of each page, usually a day or more before it goes live ...

It Was You! pg 54

Posting one page at a time can be a little disjointed, so I'm going to hold off on posting this and the next few pages until their whole thought is complete.

But my awesome Patreons shouldn't be kept waiting. So I'll keep posting these here in hi-resolution for the $10+ crowd like always. 

Try not to spoil it for the others, though.

Workin' on the next page

Blue guy's fun.

Poster

My goodness, another flowchart. Quelle surprise.

New York Comic Con's coming up in a few weeks, and I needed some new merch to sell (cheaply), so I made this poster. It's a prettier version of the flowchart I snuck into the comments at some point. 

I figure there's so much misinformation going around right now, some people might like to have something more usefu...

Preview

After something like a month of heavy "work" work and camping, I'm back to drawing again. Here's a preview of part of the next page, which should be going up over the weekend.

Thanks!

Your patronage for these past months just bought the Illustrated Guide a Cintiq Companion 2! That's going to make it a lot easier for me to work on the comic, and (I hope) to update it more frequently. Thank you all very much!

Preview

Just testing this out to see if this is the kind of content you ridiculously amazing patrons would like to see.

I'll be away this weekend, so won't be able to work on the next pages until Monday or Tuesday, so here's a preview of one of the panels on the next page.

If you want more work-in-progress stuff, character sketches, and the like, just let me know!

Here's a public sample of the kind of full-size, high-resolution pages $10 donors get. Just click on the download icon to get the full image.

Hey patrons! I want to do right by you, so tell me if there's anything else you'd like to be getting out of your patronage!

Convict Yourself pg 119

Here's a free sample of a high-resolution page like those the $10+ patrons get to download. Click on the blue icon to download the full image at 300dpi. (80% of the original size, which exceeded Patreon's file size limit)

Convict Yourself pg 68

I'm setting the privacy on this one to "public" for the time being, so folks can see an example of the high-rez pages the $10+ patrons get. Click on the little blue icon to download the full 300dpi, 2800 x 3400 px version of today's page.

Happy Easter

I painted you a bunch of eggs
