WET CEMENT is the 10th book in our stand-alone comic series, COIN-OP. It feels momentous to be self-publishing a series for so many years, and it’s why we decided to try Kickstarter for the first time. Day One: WET CEMENT is 600% funded! Can’t wait to mail ‘em out! #projectwelove #kickstartercomics

I’m not much of a stamp collector, but I couldn’t pass this one up. Chris Ware’s illustration of 20 interconnected stamps shows a mail carrier’s route and commemorates 250 years of the USPS. So much going on in this thing, plus great color choices! #illustration #comics #stamps #chrisware #usps

Inking a comic panel with Higgins Black Magic Ink and a No. 4 Grumbacher Goldenedge brush. You can pick up both of those things from chartpakstore.com/pat! #process #inking #higginsinks #grumbacherbrushes #chartpak

Busy day at the ALA conference! Had a blast talking with the National Cartoonists Society crew, librarians, and everybody else.
