Don't bother
looking for it; it's been out of print for a while now. Still,
I am available for school readings in any province or
state where the book hasn't been banned by court order (as of
this writing, Nunavut and American Samoa).
Fan
Expo, Canada's largest geek event, was this weekend. I've
gone in the past but I skipped it this year. It's worth noting
that the guest of honour was Buzz Aldrin, meaning I'm more interested
in people who only pretend to fly spaceships.
No
thank you.
I
am so fucking there.
I bring
up the Fan Expo thing because it's also Canada's biggest comic
convention and I'd previously tried to convince Jamie we should
rent some space to promote ourselves to the only people outside
advertising who'd be likely to give a damn. I pretty much gave
that up after I met Greg Horn last year. If a celebrated Marvel
artist is selling work like this
for $10 a pop, I'm not sure the market value for one of Jamie's
sketches would be a positive integer.
Greg e-mailed
a few days later to say some nice things about our comic, which
was incredibly generous of him. If we ever create a hard copy,
I'm commissioning him to do the cover, if only to see how he
draws Lori. We'll polybag it and sell out the run before
anybody realizes they've actually bought 288 pages of Jamie
and me bitching about work.

P.S.
I finally
watched Star Wars with Adrianna this weekend, skipping past
the severed limbs and smoking skeletons. She loved it and I
am filled with paternal joy.
