So, big news about my comics from APE this weekend- new books will be coming out! People who have read my blog and whatnot will know that I’ve been working on the next A Waste of Time collection, but as I write it the format has been evolving. The more I wrote, the more I realized I was writing a lot, probably more than would be in one book. I also realized eventually that I was writing two distinct storylines, and that it might be better to split them into separate books, so what I was trying to figure out was what I should do next. The storylines are distinct and you don’t have to read one to understand the other, but they also go together thematically and they’re both follow-ups to my first book, so I started to think, wouldn’t it be nice to just do both and release two books? Which is exactly what I just talked myself into this weekend. Talking to Zan Christensen of Northwest Press about what he’d like best as an A Waste of Time follow-up collection, he had enthusiasm for both of the ideas I wanted to do and, to my surprise, was open to publishing two books simultaneously. So, early 2015, there will be two new A Waste of Time books, each longer than the last one! We’re also talking about a collected edition for people who’d like both, possibly a nice slip cover of the two volumes together with bonus materials added. In the meantime, we’re also planning to do ebooks with bonus content of individual chapters from the stories as we go. So, tons of stuff coming up for anybody who’s interested in what I’m doing next! I just have to draw about 300 pages in the next year is all…
