In honor of my biggest book yet, Pearls Jubilee: A 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Best, Worst, and Most Angrifying Pearls Before Swine Comic Strips, I'm going on a book tour! Dates and places below!
Get a Steam message from someone I have as a friend but can't remember for the life of me. It's rapid fire "He can I ask you a question?", "Are you around?", "Why are you silent?".
Respond.
"Hey my friend needs votes on this logo for university, can you vote for it?"
Know there is a link impending and knowing I'm definitely not clicking it. So I respond: "Why does this sound like an Indian scam?"
No response, unfriended.
Guess I struck a nerve

Open letter to any fellow creative mutuals

Working on a huge project that is almost locked in.
If you want to be a part of my Lanterns project lmk!
My greatest pride and joy of this project is that even though I don’t know the Green Lantern lore as well as others I want to pay respect to the lifelong fans by doing my due research and delivering something unexpectedly great.
If a guy like me can write better Lantern content than my “official” counterparts there will be elephants to address.

After many years of scraping by, saving every extra penny... I might be able to pay off the machine tools I bought many years ago. This might be one of the best days of my life.
I'm looking forward to coming out of crunch mode. I'll most likely need to readdress shipping costs since those just continue to get more out of hand and then figure out some better supply chains for sourcing lighters etc. also I'll be rolling into taxidermy season.

Mike Baron's "How to Make a Comic" panel, recorded at For the Fans Fest, is on YouTube now. 25 years of hand-drawn pages, the three rules of writing, the birth of Nexus, and hooking readers on page one. Watch it on the For the Fans Fest channel: youtu.be/7PMvL_zdHFk
