Congratulations, graduations!

I feel like "Congraduations" should be a real word. Or "Congraduates". It just sums it all up this time of year. What I mean to say is, congrats to all the graduates from our beloved Center for Cartoon Studies! There's some crazy-good talent being unleashed upon the world, so look out!

In honor of the occasion, I'd like to present a comic today about the grace with which one accepts one's own diploma and the dignity that goes along with such a great accomplishment:
In other news, I've got all the material together for Brain Parts #3. I still need to do the layout and print, but here's the cover:

I discovered that drawing rotting flesh and exposed bone-parts is super fun!

Brain Parts and Unpleasant People Reviewed!

HUGE news! Rob Clough picked up Brain Parts #0 and Unpleasant People #1 at this past MoCCA. I was totally stoked at the time, but kind of forgot about it when no review was posted in the following months. I just figured he didn't like them.

Turns out he liked them! The review was just posted on the Comics Journal website, alongside a review for Lena Chandhok's excellent work, which he picked up at the same time.

He had some constructive criticism, which I totally agree with, in problem areas that have been pointed out to me before. Knowing that someone read and really thought about my work is very motivating, as I've been in kind of a slump lately.

I realize a review probably isn't so big a deal to a lot of cartoonists, but this is the first time my work has been recognized outside of CCS!

Thanks for reading, Rob!
