Sheldon "Grounded" Page 14

The new page is posted at Modern Tales.

Looking at it on my laptop screen, the colors appear lighter and the darks washed out. Damn LCDs.

Also, I finally posted something new at 4 Panels. Thanks to In Contempt, there has been more traffic there lately, so I felt obligated to put up something. Which makes it sound worse than it is. In fact, I like it a lot. The drawing is silly and the sentiment reflects my feelings about "Puff the Magic Dragon" - a critical issue of our times, natch.

Heads up, I am preparing for the Stumptown Comicsfest in a few weeks. I'll be sharing a table with Chris Baldwin, he of Little Dee and Bruno fame (plus much more). And I will also moderate a panel, "Comics in Libraries" in which I will pepper Sara Ryan and Dawn Rutherford with questions about the history of librarian attitudes toward comics, how they have changed, and how all that is relevant to cartoonists and comics writers. They are both librarians and youth advocates, Sara is a comics writer and Dawn is an advocate of comics in libraries, compiling YALSA's 2007 Great Graphic Novels for Teens list (among many other activities.)

Stumptown needs volunteers. If you're local and interested in volunteering, please visit the Volunteers Page, or email barry -at- stumptowncomics.com.
