And coming up soon:
Twas the last days of summer. Perfect boating weather as we headed halfway to the arctic circle. Then, with added irony, we flew right over our marina:
It was a great show. Did some sketching…
…showed off my ‘Shuster’, was interviewed for the Edmonton Journal…
…and attacked by zombie fans…
…so, you know, the usual.
Coming up next:
Here’s me with my Joe Shuster Award inducting me into the Canadian Comic Book Hall of Fame.
And this weekend I will be showing off my plaque at table PR32 At the Edmonton Fan Expo.
Whoa! This one snuck up on me fast!! It’s only, like, a week away!!!

…and just to remind you that, yes, I’m still working on the ‘Smile of the Absent Cat’ pages:
Although it’s officially still two and half weeks away, summer is setting.
Last weekend, at the T.O. Fan Expo I did a little monster-Gerebus head sketch in a copy of Greg Hyland’s Monster Atlas vol 2.
The little head was so much fun to do that I decided to draw a full figure Monsterebus:
Look for it in Monster Atlas volume 2, Part II, subsection C: ‘Stuff we just made up for the fun of it’.
The convention is the largest of its kind in Canada and among the largest in the world with as many as 130,000 attendees… most of them trying to get on the escalator at the same time.
Thanks to Kevin Boyd and the whole crew for an extremely well run show!
This morning I saw an image of the “Baby Trump Blimp” and, of course, thought of this:
I imagine him singing, “You know I don’t care, what happens to you…”
Of course if you’re not familiar with Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals’ album, this will mean nothing to you. I keep forgetting how old I am.

Show starts tomorrow:
Starts Thursday! Goes through ’till Sunday! I’ll be there! Shelley too!
We’re at table P016!!!

I had sent Grant a bunch of questions to clarify a few things in the script for chapter six of “The Smile of the Absent Cat”. He said that he’d ‘…spent so much time re-arranging the script that a few glitchy ghosts from previous versions survived…’ so once I have the final, final script I can start pencilling.
Meanwhile, here’s the finished page four from chapter five:

(Still don’t know my table number.)
Managed to get a little sailing in but have cats and Louis Wain on the brain:
Starting on the sixth and final chapter of Grant Morrison’s ‘The Smile of the Absent Cat.’ As of right now, I’m still in the, “How the heck am I gonna pull this off?” stage. But that’s half the fun.

And let’s not forget:
When I know where my table is, I will post it here.
