Oh man, I totally forgot that we passed the 100-comics mark a while ago! Oh well. So, um, hooray for me.

This is the last page of probably one of my favorite scenes. I hope you guys liked it too. Fortunately I had kind of a small jump in readers during this scene- I'm glad people came in for that part of the comic. Anyway.

I had a great time at NYCC! There's new fanart up from Mary C. Shyne, who I met at the con. It was totally awesome discussing the women there walking around in leather underwear with her. (For real, con-going ladies, let's be serious for five seconds. )

I got a sketch from Alex Robinson too, and I was so nervous and excited I can't even tell you. He gave me a really good sketch but sometimes its weird getting drawings at conventions. I'm never sure whether to talk or not when they're drawing; I don't want to distract them, but there's also this awkward sort of silence. Oh well!

There was only one bad part to all this. When I got back from New York, I found out that Martin Scorsese had done a lecture at Brown that weekend, which is right next to my school. And I missed it. Noooooooo

Hey guys! I'm going home for NYCC. If any of you are going, maybe... maybe I'll see you there?

This is going to be awesome.

I loved drawing this page. I think this is a good one for new readers to come in on, if only because this is kind of the closest I've gotten so far to making The Good Crook EXACTLY what I want it to be. Does that make sense? No? Okay.

In case you guys don't remember, "Frank Brodka" is the name Nona found on the inside of the box where the gun was, back in the car when she was rooting around for it.

P.S. Kids with guns? Way way WAY fun to draw.

And hey, check out this comic Twelve Steps from Superman. The story is really cool so far, it feels like the opening scene of a great movie. Plus the art and characters are great, I love the layout and all the interesting little visual detours. That's the kind of stuff I wish I could do in The Good Crook but I'm afraid I'll screw it up. The artist, Mary Shyne, seems like a cool person too. I like it a lot is what I'm trying to say.

ARRRGH I SPELLED "WEIRD" WRONG NOOOO

Not to draw your attention to it or anything.

I'll fix that later today. Also, still messing with the site! Thanks for your patience. By the way, the Making Webcomics book is out! Not that it needs my traffic, but I'm excited. I pre-ordered mine so I'll be checking my mail with anticipation every day until it comes. It'll be like that one Calvin and Hobbes story.

OH MY GOD.

When I first started putting comics online, I said to myself, "I'll know I'm a Real Webcartoonist the day I get my first fanart."

Ladies and gentlemen, that day is today.

(Also: I'm trying to fix up the site so it looks a little better. Unfortunately, I am completely terrible at this kind of thing. Sorry it looks weird right now, I'm still messing around.)
