In order to raise funds, we've got some Neopets for auction on eBay. Please bid! We'd greatly appreciate it. We'll have some Kingdom Hearts and Bone action figs up shortly. We're going to be at Califur, in Irvine, CA. May 28-30. Got a four-page story written for a You Say It First 'zine that'll be premiering there. It's the most writing I've done in one sitting for YSitF in a while. And if you're in the area, I'd suggest coming buy to pick it up in person. I've been doing version control on my scripts today. I've been working on two or three different machines so I've got several versions of things and I can never keep track of which is the most recent. And I've got various half-used ideas floating around. Things left over from Unlike Minerva that I need to look over. I had a lot of ideas that didn't fit that comic. I may be able to use them for something else. Maybe.

And here, entirely unrelated to Spare Parts, is a journal comic of my own, patterned after Dealing With It, my wife's. No title yet, but we're considering "Being Dealt With". We'll get it it's own space real soon now.

Sorry that I haven't really been commenting on the strips too much. But just in case you need even more insight into our lives, check out Isabel's journal comic Dealing With It. I've also been trying to keep my Big List of Comics updated. All the ideas that I haven't had a chance to use yet, all the series I have scripts for somewhere, like Manxish Boy, Headphone Story, Page Turner, RPS, Soapy Lemon (yes, it's different than YSitF). I wonder if other cartoonists have all these ideas floating around like this. I need to keep better notes because I'm afraid of losing my ideas. While I was driving to an interview this morning, I thought it'd be neat to take a bunch of Tomorrow/Keith West songs (No link. BorderlineBooks.com is down) and try to work a story around it. I'd call it "Real Life Permanent Dream", but it might get confusing. Timothy Chase would fit halfway between Spare Parts and Manxish Boy. Question is which half those character traits get nudged towards. If the things Todd plants just don't seem to grow, well, don't be surprised. And there's another journal comic of mine here. And it's called Keep Moving
