I should have something pretty cool for you all by tomorrow. Hint: Just in time for your holiday sheeping needs.

Meantime, there's a new Girl Genius out this week.

Have fun, play nice.

Did they say Galen was going to be in it?

Hon, you've just made my day :D Thanks so much for sharing!

Y'know, I really should toddle down to the local comic shop and try to get as many back issues of Girl Genius as I can, based on your recommendation. I've been a fan of Foglio's work since Myth Adventures!. (And yes, I still have the hots for Tananda. :) )

Happy dance!

And who doesn't? :-P

What might ease the search is to get the compilations that the Foglios have put together, about three issues per volume.
Girl Genius: Agatha Heterodyne and the Beetleburg Clank [Issues 1-3]
Girl Genius Collection #2 Agatha Heterodyne & the Airship City [4-6]

Available from StudioFoglio.com

Jerry Scoggins Passes Away

Who dat, you ask? Why, he was the vocalist on "The Ballad of Jed Clampett (http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/flatt-and-scruggs/ballad-of-jed-clampett-11700.html)", the theme song for The Beverly Hillbillies. Flatt & Scruggs played guitar and banjo.

Which one should I choose? Decisions, decisions...

Hey Tom,

There's a fella I know, name of David 'Rain' Simpson who's going to be spending some time in Ay-Squared in the next few months.

He's a cartoonist, musician and outspoken leftist. I think you two would hit it off famously.

You can check out his political strip "I Drew This" at www.idrewthis.org and his livejournal name is rain_luong

Good news: New Girl Genius!
Bad news: Now we have to wait for the next one again...

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but this issue is great. I mean, really, really great.

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

I totally agree! Very, very well done. That's why I'm frustrated about having to wait for the next one... :-) [pace, pace]

Holiday SHEEPING Needs?

[skull-leader3.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm, either Tom's baaaaa-aaad puns have finally gotten the best of him....or methinks he's under the influence of Fenton!

Re: Holiday SHEEPING Needs?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

It may not be until later tonight -- I've suddenly got two projects that have to be finished ASAP, and this one has secondary priority -- but, yeah. ;)

[surakofb5.livejournal.com]

Yay! I've been waiting *years* for this. Especially considering it was "Five Years" that got me hooked on Tom's music.

Be seeing you...
