I found this video, by filmmaker Will Hoffman and presented by the radio program Radiolab, utterly delightful.

The Annotated Wondermark in bookstores
Two of my comic strip collections, Beards of our Forefathers and Clever Tricks to Stave Off Death, are widely available via whatever venue you like to buy books — Amazon, your local independent bookstore, wherever. But my first collection, The Annotated Wondermark, isn’t in major bookstores and it isn’t on Amazon. I’m pleased if you’d like to buy it from me, of course (as many of you have recently), but I’d also like to extend a special thank-you to the independent bookstores and comic shops who’ve decided to stock it. If you’re local to any of these shops, please patronize them, knowing that they’re supporting li’l folks like me. And, of course, help move their stock so they’ve got to re-order!

I’m going to append and refer back to this post as the book is stocked in more and more stores. If you’re a buyer for an indie store and would like to stock my books, contact my sales rep Tony Shenton (if you know him) or contact me directly. Thanks!
Two Minutes to Wondermark #544
Here’s a (time-lapsed) video of me creating the latest comic, “In which Jake gets a Leg Up”. The comic itself looks pretty simple, but I’m pretty proud of some of the subtle collage work that went into it.
If you liked that, here are some more “Two Minutes to Wondermark” process videos I’ve done in the past. I also often stream the comic-makin’ process live online — when I do, I always announce it on my Twitter!
Final obligatory reminder
Reposted: Today, August 14, is the last day to get signed comic prints and/or signed books from me (probably not forever, but for quite a while at least)! UPDATE: TOO LATE
There. Now I said it. Nobody can say they missed it. IT IS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE. Thanks to everyone who’s bought prints and books this week; we’re shipping as fast as we can!
Vote Commissioner Gordon for Cutest Dog
My friends Chris and Carly are saving for their wedding. The entire household’s getting into the act: Chris is selling books; Carly’s drawing commissions; and the third member of their home, Commissioner James “Jim” Gordon Hastings, is running for public office.
No dog-slash-chief-Gotham-law-enforcement-officer deserves your daily vote more than the Commissioner! And no couple deserves to be married in something somewhat more elegant than a cardboard box than Chris and Carly. Won’t you spare a vote for the poor pup? UPDATE: Thanks very much for all the votes! It looks like we’ve broken the site with the traffic. The Commissioner’s probably a shoo-in for the semifinals now, and I’ll post again when the finals (and another voting opportunity) roll around. Thanks everyone!
ALSO: REMINDER: This Friday, August 14, is the last day to get signed comic prints and/or signed books from me (probably not forever, but for quite a while at least)!
