Here’s my submission for Toronto Draws Tintin!

Man I feel totally out of my comfortable zone doing a final drawing on paper, (nearly any drawing or comic that I’ve posted online has been digital.) It feels real weird not being able to go in and noodle around with everything.

If you’re in Toronto this Wednesday you should totally come to the Toronto Draws Tintin Opening Party at the Steamwhistle Gallery! Details over here: http://www.torontodrawstintin.com/

HEY HEY, I’m going to be at SPX in Maryland this weekend! I’m sitting at H-4 or H-5 at a table with Brian Fukushima, next to Sara “Hey Pais” McHenry and Tom McHenry! I’ll be selling:

CAT RACKHAM LOSES IT! I’m bringing 80 copies of this comic. It’s the last of it!

TURTIE MINIS! The Turties that you love plus 5 brand new Turties. Just two bucks.

Here’s where I’ll be at, I hope that everyone comes to say hi!

Well, I can’t stop drawing Turtie. It’s Turtie from here on out. Turtie!

This comic could have easily read “8 months” instead of 3. It’s been hectic and exhausting year, especially these last three months. I’ve been mostly working, sleeping, not sleeping, despairing, and eating junk.

But now I feel like I’m getting my feet back under me with some nice changes coming up:

1). A really big freelance job is wrapping, leaving time for awesome story-boarding work and my own comics!

2). My girlfriend Leslie is going to be staying with me for months and months!

3). How about that!

So, halfway through the movie Yogi ruins a fundraiser to save Jellystone park, resulting in its closure. Fed up, Ranger Smith gives Yogi an especially dark lecture. I’ve transcribed it:

Yogi tries to apologize to Ranger Smith, “I thought …”

Ranger Smith to Yogi Bear, “Yogi, that’s the problem, all the ‘thinking’. Y’know what’d be great? If you didn’t think. If you could just be a regular bear,”

Yogi starts to cry.

“…sitting in the woods, minding his own business, but, nope, you are different. You’re ‘smart’. You’d rather spend your days being selfish and destructive while everyone else pays the price. But I guess this time it wasn’t enough to just screw up my life, this time you had to bring down this entire park!”

Yogi Bear is devastated.

“So, tell me Yogi … how smart are you now?“
