And some stuff from me. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rus...

Vertigo's Death, viewed from the reflection of a puddle, holding a parasol in a graveyard. B&W

Han Solo on a tauntaun on Hoth. In the distance, an icy mountain and an imperial probe droid.

A pictorial depiction of Tom Waits's song "Step Right Up." Tom Waits in a trenchcoat unfurling it with one hand to reveal it's filled with references to the song, while another hand pushes a kid in a beanie away.

Captain Haddock marching over the back of a whale. The whale is mostly submerged in the ocean, but his tail in the background reveals Haddock's boat lifted up over the sea.

New volume of Gateway City is chugging along. Not sure if I'll have a full volume finished by Thought Bubble though. How do folks feel about a tabloid newspaper ashcan of whatever pages I have completed by that time?

A panel from Gateway City. An alien's face, he's sweating, looking down, nervous. A speech bubble for a character off screen reads "He's halfway, ladies and gentlemen..."

Russell Mark Olson@russellmarkolson· Jun 30

Nearly finished playing.

So, I'm from this purple patch, which is what, 115 or thereabouts? What kills me about my countrymen not understanding the AC debate is that I can remember days when it got past 100, and while the AC helped, the heat permeated the walls. Ain't gonna be pretty.
