When I first heard that water polo existed, I was astounded. I knew it took a long time to fill my bathtub so setting up for a game must take weeks. I wondered how deep they made the water. I figured maybe about chest level. It had to be deep enough to make the game interesting but not so deep that the horses couldn’t breathe without scuba equipment.
“The Book of Biff #4: Squid Tank” is off to the printer! The cover is done, the pages are prepped and the contract is signed. I’ll probably get the proofs sometime next week. Until then I’ll just stare longingly at each FedEx truck as they drive by.
For a limited time I’m selling preorder copies of book 4 and a bundle of all 4 books for super cheap! Once enough copies are sold to cover the print run, everything goes back to regular price. Check them out in the store!
Amanda and I had a wonderful time at the New England Webcomics Weekend. We met a lot of readers of The Book of Biff and perhaps even added a few new ones. It was great to be able to talk face to face instead of just comments on the website.
It was fantastic to get to hang out with such an amazing collection of other webcomic creators. Special thanks to Jorge Cham, Bill and Gene, Danielle Corsetto, Karl and Cameron, and R Stevens for driving us around. Behind the sarcastic wise cracking public persona, cartoonists are actually a friendly helpful group.
I’m already excited for NEWW 2010. Meredith and the volunteers put on such a great show, next year is going to be even better!
Here’s some photos from the show that are popping up:

I think this first one may actually be for Friday. It’s kind of a visual gag so here’s a closeup to confuse you.

Here’s some in progress shots as I’m working on next week’s comics.
I’ll update this post a few times today.

Gingerdead and Friends is my weekly source of poetic nightmares. Calan’s line work evokes the feel of old woodcut illustrations complete with limited color pallette. It’s black and white and gray with the color red reserved for hearts, balloons and lots of blood. The comics themselves run a range of styles from traditional 3 panel newspaper strip to large single panel drawings combined with poetry or song lyrics. Part of the fun is the interaction in the comments from readers responding with poetry of their own.
