This will be a treat for one true-blue fan of the strip: It's the first appearance of Sheldon anywhere! My 1996 college comic strip collection, "A Well Balanced Meal"!

Sheldon, you see, originally appeared as one of four characters in my college strip, "Four Food Groups of the Apocalypse." That strip was collected into book form in 1996, titled "A Well Balanced Meal." You can see Sheldon on the cover, below. And now I'm making ONE OF THE LAST TEN COPIES available, starting at one penny. Go snag it!

PORTLAND! I’m doing a book signing Sun, with nearly every cartoonist alive. It's the first time I've ever done a signing in Portland, so please come out: IT'S A FREE EVENT, and super family friendly, if you have kids.

I'll have Sheldon/Drive books for sale...or you can bring ones you already have! And I'll be givin' out free sketches like we're best friends. BECAUSE WE ARE.

(Check out this huge list of cartoonists who'll be there: http://www.reuben.org/2017/05/the-cartoonists-will-meet-their-fans-in-portland/ )

For those of you with long memories, you'll recall THIS BLOG POST from 2015, where I talked about slowly creating an "Anatomy of Animals" book.

Well! I just wanted to tell you that we're only 10 animals away from it being done! I plan to Kickstart the hardcover book in early Summer, and have it to all the backers by Christmas. It's gonna be a fun book: We're designing it to look like a 1920's science manual, with all the accompanying paste-ups, typed out descriptions, and more.
