Putting up zines at Grimalkin haus to cover up the giant cracks in our walls. Sooo beuuutiful!

After much procrastination I finally decided to put the final touches on Boredom Pays 7 last night. It’s the last issue I’m going to do for the foreseeable future so it feels somewhat substantial to finally say “done” to a  series I’ve been working on for the past four years. It feels somewhat right. <3

Sadness for Numbness This is the last comic for the seventh issue of Boredom Pays (debuting at TCAF!). It&#8217;s a little out of context here, as it has been designed as a double page spread and fits in between various short comics that (hopefully, intentionally) string together a larger narrative when read in their intended sequence. This is also the last autobio strip I&#8217;m going to be doing for a while. I know I&#8217;ve said that before, but I really feel like I&#8217;ve gotten much of what I needed to out of my system with this last issue of Boredom Pays. I&#8217;m really proud of it, I think it at least sort of touches on what I was going for. It&#8217;s time to move onto something different &lt;3 (For bigger version that you can actually read - http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HJcCCovymtE/UXf9IN-eriI/AAAAAAAAC6o/29Ld5A9ZBbs/s1600/sadness+for+numbness.jpg )

How to sleep through the winter (hibernate) by Alice and Martin Provensen Today I found this little gem of a children&#8217;s book at a thrift store and upon a quick look through it&#8217;s clear that this is one of the best dollars I&#8217;ve ever spent. Entirely drawn with the cartoon modern sensibilities that I absolutely adore this book is chock full of beautiful illustrations accompanied by text as well as a few comics scattered throughout. By all indications it looks to be the first edition, too, which is surprising given it&#8217;s general good condition that it was published in 1952. You can see more of it over here, if you like - http://goldengems.blogspot.ca/2009/04/coming-soon.html

Seriously getting so stoked for TCAF &lt;3

Sewing a patch of an alligator riding a bicycle to my sweater because I’m just that punk. Also, I didn&#8217;t grab the artists name but he&#8217;s based out of Guelph and does fantastic drawings. Anybody recognize this/could tell me who did this so I can both properly credit and find more?
