Wayward Travelers Tour 2025
For most of early August, I'll be road-tripping across eastern Canada en route to the Dartmouth Comic Arts Festival, stopping at a number of bookstores and comics shops to sign books along the way. These won't be scheduled, sit-down signings, I'll just be breezing into stores on these dates to say hello, sign stock, and take a few pictures for Instagram (and, surely, for a wrap-up post for the blog/newsletter here.)

Drawing From Life
I'm fond of saying that drawing skills aren't particularly necessary for making comics. It's a narrative medium, not an illustrative one the traditional sense. Some of its best practitioners draw simply, even crudely, but are so skilled at organizing and conveying information that it hardly matters. That's the job. I myself give a lecture occasionally titled "WHAT to Draw, Not HOW to Draw."
That said, drawing skills are certainly a nice bonus...

Historical "Accuracy"
Note: this post is a lightly edited and updated version of one that appeared in November 2020 on my perpetually neglected Two Generals Research Blog, which hasn't been updated in more than four years.
