I couldn’t find it the year it came out, and then I stopped trying. I never really thought to look for it even years later. But today – in the dollar bin, no less – I picked up The New Teen Titans #16 (from 1982) which features the Captain Carrot 16 page preview. That really made my day. Now my collection is complete. (Except for that Oz/Wonderland war miniseries but who cares about that….)

Just in case you need ideas… the giant squid light switch cover!

BUY IT at etsy.com or ebay.com

I have a recurring dream about crashing a hotel banquet and eating other people’s food. I had it again last night.

I also have a recurring dream about scary bears attacking me. The night before last I dreamt I was being attacked by 2 huge grizzlies. I shot them in the head at point blank range with a shotgun slug but they didn’t feel it. I think they killed me.

In other news – and this is no dream – SEX IN SPACE!

Because I know you’re excited as I am!…

Holidays are coming up! I know I posted my Christmas List Wish but that was all B.S.

What I really want for Christmas is one of two things:

1. To be able to hire Scott Shaw, the original artist for Captain Carrot & His Amazing Zoo Crew, to draw a page or two of World Wildlife Federation of Justice. I found out his page rates today and they are not unreasonable. They mayyyyyyy be in my price range for a single page. Especially if I just get the pencils done.

2. I want to start a ‘battle music’ station for Live365 radio. This basically requires time and a bit of scratch.

I think either of those things would be incredibly cool. And by cool I mean nerdy.

At the old day job we have a ‘job board’ with all the different jobs on the go. It’s very seldom full. It is currently…full.

Today the chief went on a 2 week vacation leaving me in charge.

Anyone want to intern at a screen-printing & embroidery place? Mwoo-hahahaha!

So the “upshot” (I dislike that word…reminds me of trailer park dialect for some reason) is that I have 3 fewer hours a day to keep up on my art jobs. Let’s look at those, shall we?

1. Reggietown. 38 page comic book. Pencils & Inks. Paying. Due now.
2. Secret project. 5 page comic. Pencils & inks. Non-paying. Due now.
3. Monkey project. 13(?) page comic. Pencils & inks. Non-paying. Due now.
4. Logo design (4) for Thai sauce purveyor. Paying. Due in a few weeks.
5. WWFJ Mutants & Masterminds supplement. Writing (with help from Theo), drawing, inking, colouring. 95% done. Pays percentage of profits.  Way overdue.
6. Spaceship Zero. 5 page comic. Writing, pencils, inks. Non-paying. 4/5ths done. Due in February.

Plus misc.
