I am so excited for the “Tales of the Drive” series. As you remember, I’ve gone out to my favorite pros working today, and invited them to write short stories set in the DRIVE universe. These are people I trust to write amazing DRIVE short stories. And today I can reveal the first: Christopher Hastings of Dr. McNinja and Adventure Time!
I just read Chris’ story last night, and it’s so fun. So fun. You are going to love it.
I just wanted to say a huge, public THANK YOU to the 566 folks currently supporting Drive at Patreon.
I didn’t know if Patreon would work, when I first started it, but you 566 readers made it so that I could make more time for Drive in my career — and that is amazing! And now, the fact that we are only $15 away from getting TWO DRIVES A WEEK blows my mind. That was sort of a pie-in-the-sky goal when I first put it up there…BUT NOW WE’RE SO CLOSE.
…If you haven’t heard of Patreon: It’s kind of like Kickstarter. But where Kickstarter says “We need $5 for a one-time project,” Patreon says “No, this comic is a continuing series of art, and I will be a patron of the arts in tiny little installments along the way.” It’s an amazing idea!
Today, my scifi strip DRIVE gains a second home on the web, at GoComics.com/Drive. The story will begin at the beginning for a whole new audience over there.
EVERYTHING REMAINS THE SAME AT THE DRIVE SITE ITSELF, just so you know: The archives, new strips, and advancing story all stay the same. Nothing is changing, there.
So why the second home? I’m in love with this project, and this is a great way to introduce the story to tens of thousands of new folks. See, I’m like that friend on Facebook, desperate to show you pictures of my baby. That’s the perfect metaphor, here. EVERYONE MUST LOVE MY CHILD. 🙂
So! To recap:
1.) DRIVE has a second home, and the story begins anew, at GoComics.com/drive
2.) Nothing is changing at drivecomic.com
3.) And as always, please tell scifi-lovin’ friends to try the strip!

In recent weeks, I’ve had a huge amount of fun drawing these “Anatomy” series in the strip: Walrus, Moose, Armadillo, Pterodactyl.
So much so, that I’ve decided to do a book collection of them. They make me laugh. I get excited to draw them.
So! Over the next two years, I’ll sprinkle 4-5 “Anatomy” strips a month into the rotation, and we should have enough for a fun coffee table book, at the end of it.
Feel free, whenever the mood strikes you, to e-mail me with a suggestion: Any animal with disparate “parts” will do (think of scorpions, for an example, vs mollusks). A common suggestion, so far, is the Platypus…which is a perfect example.
