It was my first time to participate actively in Free Comic Book Day. Last year when I was drawing “The Black Cat” for Graphic Classics, I didn’t realize it was for FCBD.

The puppies are turning out to be a noisy bunch. Well, one of them at least. After a week of observing them, I’m now very aware of what their individual characteristics are. Boney (the less hairy one) seems to be more independent and smart. She’s also more affectionate, but at the same time the first [...]
