I headed off to this year's MarsCon with a single objective: to get drunk. I'll be the first to admit that classier goals exist, but with one thing or another, 2010's started off rough for me, and I needed some release.

Once upon a time, I did a guest appearance in a panel of the Fragile Gravity webcomic. Today, the circle is complete, as I've been privileged to write and draw an episode.

Richard Pini reports on the ElfQuest website that the latest movie deal has gone through, and it's in the lap of Warner Bros. now.

While Pini is optimistic, so I too shall be, EQ fans have heard this song before. OTOH, fantasy movies are much hotter these days, so who knows?
