Henchman Eric Moyers passed along this video of Wilbur the Cat. Now, I have to be honest, I'm not much of a cat person, but this short film made me chuckle. I never seen a cat sit like this. It's definitely worth a look.

You've probably noticed the ads for New York Comic Con. It's hard to believe it's right around the corner. I'm going to be there signing copies of How To Make Webcomics and, with any luck, Evil Inc Annual Report Vol. 3. Here's the rundown for 2008.

Conventions listed in blue are tentative.

New York Comic Con: April 18-20.

Emerald City Comic Con: May 10-11. Appearing with my How To Make Webcomics co-authors, Kris Straub, Scott Kurtz and Dave Kellett.

Wizard World Philadelphia: May 29 - June 1. Appearing in Artist's Alley.

Comic Con: July 24-27. Appearing with my How To Make Webcomics co-authors, Kris Straub, Scott Kurtz and Dave Kellett.

Baltimore Comic Con: Sept. 27-28. Appearing with my How To Make Webcomics co-authors, Kris Straub, Scott Kurtz and Dave Kellett.

SPXpo (Bethesda, Md): Oct. 12-13

PhilCon: November

Since the buzz created by the upcoming How To Make Webcomics book, I've been e-mailed the same question over and over: "When are you coming *here*?" The answer is: As soon as I get invited to a convention near your town. Write the promoters of your favorite comic con and let them know! And if you're a convention promoter and/or if you help organize a comic convention please get in touch and we can discuss how to make that happen.

Big thanks to everyone who has already pre-ordered their copies of Evil Inc Annual Report, Vol. 3. At this rate, I'll have the money to place the order very shortly. You have six options for ordering! You can get the book itself or a special Artist's Edition. And you can get your order bundled with Volume Two or with both Volume Two and Volume One! Check out this page for the details!

If you haven't seen the inside of the Annual Report series, you'll want to check out the sneak preview below. Instead of the usual comic-strip collection, I take the individual panels from the strips and lay out a graphic novel. It's a tremendous way to experience the comic that you're going to love.

Enjoy the preview and then go here to order!
