Hereville deserves it. I doubt this is a secret to anyone, but the art in your comic is head and shoulders above a lot of the commercially published comics. Hell, it is better than the art of at least two of my favorite series (not talking about web comics, either) By the way, I love the way the book looks in the photos. Can't wait to get my copies. (Which does not mean that you should rush the sketches!) I am very glad it went well. Hereville deserves it.

Who can resist Mirka's allure? Not I. I especially love the inscription: "To Robert -- you asked for it!" And the drawing is priceless! I wouldn't normally imagine that Mirka would thrust a sword hilt-first, but hey, it's it's all in illustrator's eye. Or, in this case, in Robert's ... well, you know. Mazeltov, Amp!

But it's usually gay orphans of color, not puppies. Conservatives like puppies.

How are those of us who are terminal procrastinators ever supposed to get our copies if you insist on selling out quickly?

But I thought, "might as well check the Alas comments before walking away from the computer." And then I read your comment. Now I'm going to erase the sketch you asked for and replace it with a sketch of Stephanie's dad kicking puppies into a trench full of angry snakes. Hope she likes it!

My daughter is asking about the "girl with the sword comic and you're going to read it to me". You're crushing the hopes and dreams of an adorable moppet! Well, OK, you're not, because I haven't mentioned it to her yet. But hypothetically, you could be. You bastard. Well where’s my damn copy then.
