A Skipped Day at the Very End? How Could You?

Sorry gang, no cartoon today. But I think you'll enjoy the reason. Tonight I finished all 120 sketch pages of the secret project I hinted at a while back. I've been working on it for roughly the same amount of time I've been doing the Sgt. Snookums story, at a pace of about four pages a day.

I can tell you a little about it, it's a non-fiction graphic novel, based on U.S. History. If you guessed Lewis and Clark, you were right. Although, this one isn't Lewis and Clark, it is a different historical event. I got this project on the strength of my "Bottle of Thunder" story, so I have L and C to thank, but the 120 pages I just sketched didn't involve them. This book won't come out until 2012, but, there will be two of them at launch. That's right, it's a series!

So if you can imagine true stories from history, told in the goofy, "Bottle of Thunder" style, 120 pages each, you'll have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing right now. It's been very exciting, I'm buried under U.S. History research and having a lot of fun!

I'll post more info in the future. But I don't want to dwell too much on it while I'm still deep in the process. Plus, I don't want to hype something that is still TWO YEARS AWAY.

Back tomorrow.
